FAQs
Is this deodorant suitable for sensitive skin?
While made with natural ingredients, the baking soda content may cause irritation for some individuals with sensitive skin. It is recommended to perform a patch test on a small area of skin before regular use.
How long does the odor protection typically last?
The duration of odor protection can vary based on individual body chemistry and activity levels. Many users find it provides long-lasting protection throughout the day, but reapplication may be needed during strenuous activities or in very hot weather.
What does '100% plastic-free' mean for this product?
It means the packaging, including the tube and cap, is made without any plastic components. This aligns with environmental sustainability goals.
Can I use this deodorant on other parts of my body?
Yes, this product can be used on the entire body as an external agent for odor protection. Ensure the area is clean and dry before application.
What is the adjustment period for natural deodorants?
Some individuals may experience an adjustment period when switching from antiperspirants to natural deodorants, which can last from a few days to a couple of weeks. During this time, your body may detoxify from aluminum salts, and you might notice increased sweating or temporary odor changes.
How do I reset the deodorant after use?
After applying, tap the bottom of the tube on a hard surface. This action helps to push the product back down and keep it level for the next use.
What certifications does this product have?
This deodorant is a Certified B Corporation®, Leaping Bunny®; Cruelty-Free, Vegan, and Gluten Free.
Troubleshooting
Deodorant is difficult to push up
Ensure the tube is held upright and tap the bottom firmly on a flat surface. If the product has softened due to heat, place it in a cool environment for a short period to firm up before attempting to push it up.
Skin irritation occurs
Discontinue use immediately. Natural ingredients, particularly baking soda, can cause irritation for some individuals. Consider a patch test on a small area of skin before full application or try a product with a lower baking soda concentration if available.
Deodorant has softened or melted
This can happen in warm temperatures. Place the deodorant in the refrigerator for about 15-30 minutes to help it re-solidify. Store in a cooler location going forward.
Product is not effective at controlling odor
Ensure the underarm area is clean and completely dry before application. Allow a transition period of 1-2 weeks, as your body may be adjusting from conventional antiperspirants. Reapply as needed during the day.
