Biork Ecological Crystal Deodorant Stick

ownerEnergyBalance SA (Switzerland)

manufacturedPrimarily in Central America, but also produced in other locations

Biork is recognized as a pioneer in the natural hygiene market, marketed as the world's first ecological crystal stick deodorant. The brand is centered around a philosophy of zero waste and plastic-free living, which is most notably reflected in its signature packaging made from Portuguese cork. The potassium alum crystal used in the product is specifically sourced and milled from a single piece of high-quality mineral heart, ensuring it is pure and long-lasting compared to cheaper, fragmented alternatives.

The brand was founded by EnergyBalance SA, a Swiss company dedicated to providing high-quality nutritional supplements and natural care products. While the brand is Swiss-owned and the cork components are linked to Portugal’s cork forests, the raw mineral stone itself is primarily extracted and processed in Central America. This combination of global sourcing and European design allows the brand to offer a hypoallergenic and vegan-friendly alternative to synthetic antiperspirants.

Today, Biork remains under the ownership of EnergyBalance SA, maintaining its status as an independent Swiss health and wellness brand. The product is certified under the Cosmos Natural standard, which ensures that and the production processes are environmentally friendly from extraction through to the final packaging, supporting a circular economy through the use of renewable and recyclable materials.
