Why We Carry Brooklyn Grooming's Clean Deodorant

A flat lay of Brooklyn Grooming's Pilgrim's Deodorant with a smudge of DEO to it's left.

Brooklyn Grooming doesn’t make a million products. They make a few — and they make them right. That’s why we think their clean deodorant (deo, say it with us D-O) earned its place.

It’s not your average drugstore stick. No aluminum, no synthetic fragrance, no nonsense. Just clean, effective odor control made from clean ingredients you can actually pronounce. Kaolin clay to absorb moisture. Arrowroot powder to keep things dry. Shea butter to soothe skin. Essential oils to keep you smelling like someone who has their life together.

What Makes It Different

Most natural deo fails one of two tests: it doesn’t last, or it irritates your skin. Brooklyn Grooming’s formula does neither. It’s been refined over a decade of clean formulation experience, and it shows. The texture is smooth. The scent is subtle but effective. And the jar is fully recyclable — no plastic twist-up, no waste.

Plus, it’s made by hand in small batches in Red Hook, Brooklyn. That kind of care matters — to us, and to your pits.

Why It Earned Its Place at Henkey’s

We could’ve picked from dozens of deos. But this one? It stood out. Not because it screams for attention, but because it earns respect. It’s clean without compromise. Natural without the trial-and-error. And it fits perfectly with what we stand for at Henkey’s: confidence, curation, and no guesswork.

Every product earns its place. Brooklyn Grooming’s deo? It claimed it — one smooth swipe at a time.
