What is the difference between a natural Deodorant and an Antiperspirant?
Natural Deodorant: Formulated to neutralise odours without blocking sweat glands, allowing your body to sweat naturally while keeping you fresh.
Antiperspirant: Contains aluminium compounds that physically block sweat glands, reducing perspiration.
We chose to make a deodorant as opposed to an antiperspirant because, from our research, most people prefer deodorants to avoid aluminium, due to concerns about potential health risks (although not scientifically proven). Deodorants are more gentle on the skin and, as a result, cause less irritation over time.
2. How do you apply the Deodorant?
Apply a small amount to clean, dry underarms, using gentle circular motions for even coverage. Let it absorb for a moment before getting dressed.
3. Is the Deodorant suitable for those who experience excess sweating?
While it helps neutralise odours, it may not prevent excessive sweating like an antiperspirant. However, its moisture-absorbing ingredients can provide comfort.
4. Does my body require time to get used to a natural Deodorant?
Yes, an adjustment period is common as your body detoxifies from previous antiperspirants. This can last a few days to a couple of weeks, with some users reporting initial increased sweating or odour.
5. What is upcycled prickly pear extract and why is it good for your skin?
Upcycled prickly pear extract is derived from the fruit that would otherwise go to waste. It is packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and hydration properties, helping to soothe and nourish the skin.
6. What do you mean when you describe the deodorant as baking soda free?
Baking soda free means that sodium bicarbonate, which can cause irritation for some, is not included in the formula, making it suitable for sensitive skin types.
7. Can a deodorant be aluminium-free if it's in an aluminium case?
Yes, "aluminium-free" refers to the absence of aluminium compounds in the formulation itself, not the packaging. The product can still be packaged in aluminium without containing harmful aluminium ingredients.
8. What does it smell like?
We've called the scent "Fresh Citrus" it has refreshing notes of bergamot and lime.
