What is Shabba?

Shabba is a silky, powdery deodorant made from a natural mineral (shabba), organic oils (coconut, jojoba...), and organically extracted aromatic oils (musk, oud, jasmine, pomegranate, berry...). This ancient antibacterial blend offers superior odor control and lasting freshness, paired with our organic musk crystals, oils, and fragrances.

FAQ

How do I use misky shabba? Or, how do I apply shabba onto my armpits?

Shabba is applied by taking a generous pinch between your thumb and index fingers, then wiping and massaging the captured amount onto your armpits generously.

It's natural for some of the powder to fall over your body or clothes. When that happens, simply massage the shabba on your hands, body, or clothes. It smells heavenly anywhere; no amount of powder should go to waste.

Is Shabba a deodorant or an antiperspirant?

There are two types of odor removers: antiperspirants and deodorants.

Antiperspirants: Control sweating and odor by forming an insulating layer over sweat glands with aluminum salts.

Deodorants: Control the smell of sweat with antimicrobial properties without stopping the sweating process.

MiskyShabba is a deodorant. It removes unpleasant odors without preventing sweating, allowing the body to naturally expel sweat. We do not recommend antiperspirants as they can trap sweat and potentially cause serious side effects.

Is potassium alum the same thing as aluminum?

Due to the similarity in their names, alum and aluminum are often confused.

The alum used as a deodorant is potassium aluminum sulfate. It contains a small percentage of aluminum that is not absorbed through the skin, posing no health threat.

Antiperspirants contain aluminum chloral hydrate, which blocks pores and traps sweat, potentially causing health concerns.

Shabba does not trap sweat and allows sweat to exit naturally through pores.

Alum has a long history of safe use as a deodorizer, preventing odor-causing bacteria without clogging pores.

Could Shabba cause rash or any type of a skin irritation issues?

For best results, miskyShabba should be applied to clean, dry skin. It’s safe to reapply throughout the day as long as the skin is dry. If you have a rash or minor cuts, do avoid using it until the skin has fully healed to prevent irritation.

Do misk and musk refer to the same thing?

In the context of our Shabba, yes! Misk, written in Arabic as مِسك, is musk in English; both refer to the musk crystals, the oil essences and the misky fragrances.

Are there any chemicals added in our shabba?

Absolutely not! Other than the potassium alum that works as an astringent by contracting the sweat ducts which only reduces the amount of sweat, we only add organic oils and essences, primarily musky in nature. These give the powder its silky, smooth texture.

Why isn’t my Shabba exactly the same as the last time I bought it?

While the Shabba crystals, misk ambrette, organic cooling oils I use and the process of making the misky shabba mix are highly consistent, the fragrance oil extracts can vary slightly from batch to batch. These extracts are seasonal and depend on when and where I source the oils. For example, jasmine extracted in Derna, Libya, may have a different scent profile than jasmine from Tunis or elsewhere in the Middle East. As a result, you might notice subtle variations in the fragrance from one purchase to another. However, rest assured that you’ll still experience the same captivating scents—whether it’s jasmine, pomegranate, or cactus—each time you enjoy our Shabba.

More importantly, the core formula remains the same, ensuring that each batch provides the same powerful repellant properties to keep your armpits dry and smelling fresh, no matter the scent variation.

What's inside a Shabba container?

MiskyShabba contains a blend of natural ingredients:

  • 70% Shabba (Potassium Alum): A finely ground crystal mineral with natural astringent properties due to its mild salt content.
  • Pure Musk Crystals: These add a delicate, lasting scent that keeps you captivated.
  • Musk Blocks: For a smooth, silky texture in every pinch of shabba.
  • Organic Oil Essences: High-quality, organic extracts like musk, oud, berry, jasmine, pomegranate, sweet rose, wild blossom, and cactus give the mixture its unique fragrance.
  • Cooling Oils: Organic stabilizing oils like coconut or jojoba for an incredibly smooth feel.
  • Talc Powder: A small amount of pure, unscented USP-certified talc for added softness.

Nothing else compares!

This is by far my favourite natural deodorant for a guaranteed all day freshness and non existent body odour.
The smells are out of this world beautiful. I have tried the Jasmine, Body Misk, Pomegranate and Berries, Cactus and Figs, Night Misk and the Black and Red Misk and they are all amazing.
Thank you for such great customer service, going above and beyond for speedy delivery even during a postal service strike.
Not only their product is exceptional but I had the pleasure of meeting in a bazaar the nice family behind this beautiful product and they are very helpful and extremely passionate about their product.
I will definitely be ordering more in the future.

Amazing Deodorant and NATURAL!

I learned about Misky Shabba at my hot yoga studio. They were selling their products, and I decided to give them a try since my beloved yoga teacher recommended them. It was difficult to choose one scent because all are wonderful. I ended up picking the Night Misk. I have been using it for three weeks now, and I am in love. I use it every day, including on days that I do hot yoga, where I sweat a lot, and still the deodorant works like a charm. I will buy more for Christmas gifts :)

New Daily Deodorant

Misky Shabba is the real deal - a natural and traditional approach to deodorant, it has quickly become my daily deodorant. The short list of natural ingredients, amazing and long-lasting smell (literally 24 hours+) truly sets the Shabba apart from traditional deodorant that is usually loaded with unhealthy chemicals. I also love the experience of applying the Shabba - I look forward to it every morning.

I love Misky Shabba so much, and I get so many compliments on this scent when I wear it! I apply it to my wrists or a few drops on my hair. A little goes a long way! It feels so silky and luxurious. The beautiful scent lasts all day. The Misky Shabba is now part of my daily self care. The ingredients are all safe and natural. Easy to use and they last a long time. Truly an incredible product, I recommend the Misky Shabba for anyone looking for a truly incredible experience.

Finally, a product that passed the test!!

I was introduced to Misky Shabba back in August while at Ribfest. I've been trying numerous other options of natural deodorant that have always failed me. From seeing the ingredients alone, I thought I must give this a try. Since starting in August, I have not touched/used any other deodorant whatsoever. Biggest test was during a party where there was dancing....and it stood strong! Now I've gotten my friends onto this, my sister and mom. We are all so happy with this product and will be life long customers! Amazing product, you won't be disappointed.

Natural Deodorant That Really Works!

I have been using natural deodorant for over 20 years and tried many different men and women's brands spending hundreds of dollars along the way. Nothing ever worked perfectly myself or my clothing. A trust-worthy friend recommended Misky Shabba so I agreed to try it as one last and final natural deodorant try. It's been over a month now and I am beyond excited to finally find a natural product that works perfectly! It smells great and feels wonderful. I couldn't be happier and highly recommend. My next purchase will be the 100 grams as I'm a life-long customer now!

Thank you for this miskyshabba; I have always had issues below actually, tried all skin treatment creams and doctor prescribed ointments, nothing worked perfectly I've always had rash and issues. After applying this heavenly shabba powder on my armpits and upper body and falling in love with it, I applied it below and amazingly, it's like treatment from heaven, no odor, no rash, perfectly conditioned! I'm indebted to this organic product sir, thank you so much may God bless you. Please continue to produce and grow.

PS: I love oud, but have also asked for and obtained unscented grams for other areas.
