About Us

The Origin Story

The story goes: on a starry, moonless night, a giant ball of fire raced across the sky of the Desert. Three women from a local village followed the shooting star's path across the night sky. After hours of walking, they stumbled upon the impact crater. In the center stood a figure never seen before. The legs of a horse with the torso and head of a human man. The figure held a bow in its hands, and as the women approached the crater, it fired five arrows across the region. It turned to gaze at the women. "The land has been blessed with everything needed to absorb moisture and fight odor, the rest is up to you," he said before galloping off into the night. With that, humanity was given the ability to make its own deodorant. 

 

How It's Going

Businesses have the largest environmental impact in today's world. We created Archer with this as one of our guiding principles. Every decision we make is thought through a life-cycle perspective, from ordering supplies all the way to disposal by our customers. This is why we aim to achieve 100% curbside recyclability by the end of 2025, not just in our end product but also in the materials we receive to make our deodorant. If a small business with no investment can do it, then there shouldn't be any exceptions.

 

Our Promise

Our promise is complete transparency, from our products to our business practices. We aren't perfect, and we still have some work to do to be the company we envision, but we have to start somewhere. We promise to operate with character and integrity. This means we will never sacrifice the quality of our products to save money. Updates will be shared as we make progress towards our sustainability goals. More on our commitment to sustainability can be found here.
