From extra time in the garden to afternoon runs, summer months are a great time to increase activity. For areas of high friction such as heels, the extra fun in the sun can result in some discomfort. This Gentle Glide Sport Stick is created with additional Arrowroot Powder and Aloe Extract to leave the skin feeling comfortable and soothed.
Easy to apply, this product helps prevent blisters and chafing. This multi-purpose stick can also be used as a deodorant, and is great for sensitive underarm areas. Lightly scented with Baby Powder Fragrance Oil, this sport stick is a great project for beginners.

how much is .5 tsp of arrow root powder?
Hi Nicole!
I’m sorry, I’m a bit confused. Are you wanting to know how much 1/2 tsp. of arrowroot powder weighs, or the price of it? Let me know and I can help you out. 🙂

Hi,
please inform me if you have this push tubes in a bigger size e.g.1.7 oz
thanks!
Hi Ageliki!
We actually only carry one size of Push Tubes. They hold 1 oz by volume.

This may seem obvious, but can this be made with no fragrance oil? Both my husband and son are super sensitive. Finding unscented deodorant has become nearly impossible!
Hi Kristin!
Absolutely! You can leave the fragrance oil out. 🙂

Does this product also act as an anti perspirant?
Hi Debbie!
Yes, this stick is a great anti-perspirant!

I noticed that you said that this product tends to fall out of the tube. Is that due to the product or the tube? So, if I used a different tube (i.e. one that looks like a deodorant tube), would it it still fall out?
Thank you for all your great ideas! 🙂
Hi Christian!
Because this product has added powder to absorb moisture, it can fall out of our Push Tubes sometimes. While we only used Push Tubes, a different tube may have different results. 🙂

Do you think DriFlo can be substituted for Arrowroot powder? I’ve never used arrowroot so I wasn’t sure.
Hi Vicki!
You can absolutely substitute Tapioca Powder. 🙂
I would recommend using the same amount as the Arrowroot Powder. If you find it’s a little too dry, you can add more Cyclomethicone.
