Finding the perfect natural deodorant can be a bit of a minefield. Like many of you, I made my way through a graveyard of natural deodorants that either didn't work, made me smell worse, or felt so horrible to apply. It can be really frustrating and leave you thinking you're destined for stinky pits forever!
But, after years of formulation, testing and trial and error we have a solution that truly works.
Which deodorant is best for me?
We have three full-strength deodorants (Fearless, Boho and Wanderer). Each of these use the same formula, but with a different scent. Our Sensitive Soul is a low-strength deodorant, perfect for those sensitive to baking soda.
- Fearless | Full-strength | Vanilla scented | Unisex
- Boho Babe | Full-strength | Rose geranium scented | Popular for women
- Wanderer | Full-strength | Citrus + cedarwood | Unisex, popular with men
- Sensitive Soul | Low-strength, barrier protection | Light vanilla | Unisex
How do I use it?
Take a small pea-sized amount on your fingertips, and rub under your arms until completely absorbed. A little goes a long way, so start off small and use more if you need it.
Only one application of our full-strength deodorants should last the day, even through a workout.
We target odour at the source
We've carefully selected ingredients to target the bacteria that causes body odour. That's why it's our deodorant is so effective! It doesn't mask body odour with fragrance or use harsh chemicals to nuke the bacteria, which is then absorbed by the body.
Natural deodorant vs anti-perspirant?
Our deodorant isn't an anti-perspirant. Anti-perspirants use aluminium to clog your pores and prevent you from sweating. Which may sound great, but aluminium is absorbed by your body and has been linked to many health problems. Our natural deodorant allows your body to sweat and breathe naturally - but it's completely odourless. Sweat is your body's way to process toxins and helps you cool down.
What if I get sensitivity?
Occassionally, some customers can get sensitivity to baking soda in natural deodorants. If this happens discontinue use and wait until the irritation disappears. You can try our 'Sensitive Soul' baking soda-free deodorant by itself or layer it under the full strength deodorant.
