  Almost all proposals to construct de Sitter vacua with a small cosmological
constant involve flux compactifications with stabilized moduli. These give AdS
vacua, which are uplifted to de Sitter by adding antibranes in certain regions
of the compactification manifold. However, antibranes are charged, singular and
interact nontrivially with other ingredients of the compactification; this can
invalidate the de Sitter construction. In this Letter, we construct a new
ingredient for uplifting AdS solutions to de Sitter, which is neutral, smooth
and horizonless, and therefore bypasses some of the problems of antibrane
uplift.
