In this post, I share a product recommendation for Piper Wai deodorant.

As someone with MCAS, I’m sensitive to most personal care products and essential oils, so this product won’t work for everyone with MCAS. But I like Piper Wai because they take care with sourcing quality ingredients, offer sustainable packaging, and the deodorant really works! Also, I’ve tried a lot of “natural” deodorants, and this one is relatively inexpensive for what you get. And you can take advantage of the 15% off coupon below for greater savings.
Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) is a chronic condition that affects all organ systems. MCAS is serious and disabling and people with MCAS experience often significant and debilitating symptoms daily, including anaphylaxis, which can be fatal.
MCAS is often found in combination with other chronic conditions such as Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS).
Frequently healthcare providers do not know about MCAS, and the tests for MCAS are problematic because they are not uniformly reliable. MCAS can be difficult to manage. Treatments include blocking mast cell mediators with anti-histamines and mast cell stabilizers, as well as avoiding triggers.
Check out this post on how to manage MCAS.
I like Piper Wai deodorant because it is made in the USA, Woman-Owned, Black-Owned, Cruelty-Free, and Vegan-Certified. They use sustainable packaging using recycled content and infinitely recyclable BPA-free aluminum containers.
Activated Charcoal Activated Charcoal is a porous substance that’s super absorbent for moisture and even the stinkiest odors.
Coconut Oil – Loaded with fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamin E, coconut oil is moisturizing, easy to absorb, and great for restoring the skin’s natural pH.
Piper Wai is gentle on sensitive skin, packed with anti-inflammatory and skin-conditioning ingredients, like shea butter, that soothe skin and won’t cause irritation.

The bucket theory offers a helpful analogy for understanding symptom reactions with MCAS.
Think of your body as an empty bucket that you want to keep from overflowing. Different foods and activities fill your histamine bucket at different speeds but they combine to form the total level of histamine in your body (how full your bucket is). A fuller bucket means you have more histamine symptoms. When you manage triggers, reduce exposure to known triggers, and take medications and supplements to reduce histamine, you can manage the level of your bucket.
Knowing your symptom progression in a symptom flare is the key to developing your own rescue plan. In this post, I discuss how to determine your own symptom progression. Once you know what typically happens in your symptom progression you can design a rescue plan to address those symptoms.
