Summary
As a busy working mom and wife, Chantel Powell found herself shuttling her son Kameron between summer basketball camp and football practice. She quickly noticed that he was starting to smell like a grown man because he was sweating buckets under his armpits, and that’s when her innovative mindset kicked in.
Chantel decided to develop an all-natural deodorant for her son. And so Play Pits the brand was born.
Play Pits is a 100% all-natural deodorant for active kids. It’s free of aluminum, parabens, synthetic fragrances and other harsh chemicals. While it can be used on the most gentle skin types, it also packs a strong punch against odors.
- In today’s episode, Chantel breaks down:
-
- How she tested out Play Pits on family to get feedback
- How customer demand led her to evolve from children’s deodorant to an adult deodorant component as well
- How she did it all while side hustling
