Please follow our usage guidelines to help you get the best results from your natural deodorant
Gently exfoliate your underarms during each shower or bath with exfoliating gloves or loofah sponge, this cleanses your pores and removes any additional beeswax.
Use only a small amount, using a lot does not always mean better coverage. If the deodorant is cakey - you have applied too much and will increase sensitivity. A small amount will go a long way
If you have been using regular, chemical deodorant with aluminium, you may initially go through an armpit detox. Aluminium in store bought deodorant causes the pores on your armpit to swell up which blocks the sweat from coming out. Our deodorant is aluminium free and your pores will re-open and you may experience a detox. This means that the toxic waste that has been unable to escape will start to come out. This can mean extra sweating and odour for a period of 1-3 weeks
Factors such as diet, exercise, water consumption, coffee & alcohol will affect the detox process. Please continue to use our deodorant throughout the detox period
Freshly shaven underarms may experience sensitivity
Wash your underarms with warm water before bed
Please use our stick deodorant like a lotion bar. Apply a small, thin amount. Rub in excess with your fingers for better absorption.
You may need to reapply more than once during the day. That’s ok! Everything in our deodorant is GOOD for your skin and your body
Be aware that there may be an adjustment period where you experience slight itching, mild tingling, etc. In the majority of people, this goes away after a short period of time (click here for more information)
If you experience continued sensitivity to our deodorant (itching, rash or burning), you may need to use our Sensitive Skin Formula which is formulated for people who react to regular natural deodorant that contains baking soda. This is an occurrence in 25% of the general population (click here to buy our Sensitive Formula)
Discontinue use if continued irritation occurs
Be aware of possible discoloration onto clothing. If this occurs, wash your clothes same day. If the stain is stubborn, use a stain remover
If you have been using store bought deodorant, do not expect the same results immediately. Store bought deodorant plugs your pores with aluminium, which inhibits sweat. We NEED to sweat, it’s our body’s way of removing toxins
Your body may need a ‘cleanse’ from store bought deodorant. In order for natural deodorant to work well for you, you may need 1 month (max) of not using store bought deodorant and of using ours faithfully to see desired results
Our deodorant is NOT an antiperspirant and will not stop you from sweating
Please note: our deodorant is stiff and meant to be hard. That is what enables it to go on feeling dry. We recommend you ‘warm it up’ by holding it to your underarm for a few seconds before rolling
Storage
Store your deodorant out of direct sunlight and at room temperature (medicine cabinet for example)
Our roll up deodorants can withstand warmer temperatures but we suggest keeping them at room temperature as it will soften (but not melt) in heat
