FAQ
How do you apply?
Take a small pea-sized amount and rub it under your arms until completely absorbed and dry to the touch. A little goes a long way, so start small and see what works for you. You should only need 1 application per day.
Will this last through a gym workout?
Our full-strength natural deodorant is formulated to be a high-strength deodorant. Just 1 application should last the day - even through a workout. We've even had customers run marathons and bush hikes and come out odourless.
We really stick by our deodorant, so get in touch if you're not happy and we'll do our best to put it right. Please note our sensitive version is a low-strength deodorant and may not last throughout the day.
How long should a jar last?
A 60g jar should last around 2 - 4 months with regular use. However, it can last a lot longer than this - we've even had customers make a jar last for 1 year - it all depends how much and how often you use it.
Is this an antiperspirant?
No our deodorant isn’t an antiperspirant. It doesn’t clog your pores with aluminium to stop you sweating. Instead, it targets the bacteria on your skin that causes odour, allowing your skin to breathe naturally while staying completely odourless.
Which will suit me best?
All of our deodorants are only lightly fragranced and suitably unisex. However, Wanderer is most popular with men, while Boho Babe is most popular with women. All of our fragrances are safe for teens and all skin types. We advise it is best to patch test before use, and consult your doctor on the use of essential oils if you are unsure or if you are pregnant.
I am sensitive to baking soda?
Occasionally, 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. Please feel free to contact us if you're still having issues on info@littlemango.co.nz.
Is the packaging waste free?
Our deodorant is packaged in a glass jar with a plastic lid, as we slowly switch to metal lids which are indefinitely recyclable. Our labels are recyclable and compostable and all orders are sent in compostable packaging.
Is this NZ made?
Yes all of our products are proudly NZ made.
How ethical are the ingredients?
All of our ingredients are 100% natural and vegan. We are cruelty-free and don't test on animals.
