Yes our deodorant is vegan and cruelty-free.

A.

Our deodorant is handmade from natural ingredients that are 100% organic - it’s free from Parabens, Aluminium, BPAs, Petrochemicals and Palm Oil. It’s also not packaged in plastic, making it better for the environment.

Unlike many regular deodorants it doesn’t just mask bad smell, it actually prevents it. And unlike antiperspirants it doesn’t block your sweat glands, meaning that your body can still remove toxins.

A.

It means that none of the ingredients have been sprayed with pesticides or include any additives. All of the ingredients that can be organic are, and ingredients like minerals, salts and clays are in their pure form.

A.

When sweat interacts with bacteria on the underarm it causes body odour. The Bicarbonate of Soda ingredient slightly alters your skins natural pH level, which prevents bacteria (causing smell) from thriving. The Coconut Oil and Shea Butter provide moisturising benefits and the Aloe Vera soothes the skin.

A.

Apply a pea sized amount using your fingertips to underarms, massaging into skin. Rub between fingertips to soften if needed.

A.

Our deodorant should be stored in a cool dark place to keep it at its best. In periods of very hot weather or if you're on holiday, it can be stored in the fridge - allow it to soften a little at room temperature before using.

A.

Yes, the deodorant will change slightly depending on the temperature of where its being stored. Don’t worry if it’s melted slightly, this won’t change its effectiveness – just use a little less than usual. Be sure to store in a cool dark place to keep it at its best. In periods of hot weather or if you’re on holiday, it can be stored in the fridge.

Aluminium is not something that occurs naturally in our bodies and there are some studies which link aluminium to health problems, including the possibility of increased risk of breast cancer and neurological diseases.

Some early studies suggest that parabens often found in beauty and personal care products could increase the risk of cancerous skin damage. The Breast Cancer UK website lists parabens such as butyl, methyl, ethyl, propy, as some of the chemicals to avoid.
