Sensitive Lavender Natural Deodorant

Cream deodorants are more effective at killing the bacteria that cause sweat and odour compared to natural stick deodorants. This is because cream deodorants can form a thicker layer on the skin, which helps to trap body odour without blocking the sweat glands, masking the smell without any of the nasties. This is not an antiperspirant because sweating is actually good for you and your body needs to do it so by blocking your sweat glands with nasties and anti-perspirants you’re actually doing more harm than good.

We understand that trying a product for the first time can be daunting, so read the unique characteristics below if you’d like to find out what makes this deodorant cream a must in your daily routine and why you should be switching to a natural deodorant:

Unique Characteristics

Arrowroot powder -Arrowroot powder is a natural sweat absorbent, clearly perfect for deodorants, and is gentle enough for even the most sensitive armpits. Arrowroot contains many beneficial minerals and vitamins such as zinc, iron, potassium, and Vitamin B6, and is known to provide relief to skin irritations including skin sores and rashes.

Coconut Oil – Coconut oil contains fatty acids, like lauric acid, which are known for their antibacterial characteristics and benefits. Coconut oil in a deodorant can therefore help reduce the bacteria in these moist areas, leaving you refreshed and smelling clean. It is highly moisturising and helps to hydrate skin and reinforce its natural defensive barrier to better retain moisture which means coconut oil for dry skin is fantastic. Another of the benefits is that it helps to increase the natural production of collagen, this helps to improve skin elasticity for firmer skin.

Magnesium Hydroxide - Magnesium hydroxide binds to odour causing bacteria to neutralise it thus using a less violent mechanism to eliminate odour.

Sodium Bicarbonate - Sodium Bicarbonate is an antibacterial and pH neutraliser. In our deodorants, it is used to neutralise the acid in sweat and eliminate underarm bacteria, therefore preventing body odour from forming. It is an amazing deodoriser!

Cocoa Butter - Cocoa butter has fantastic moisturising qualities as it is rich in essential fatty acids that nourish and protect the skin. The butter is able to deliver deep, lasting hydration that doesn't feel greasy or sticky, helping to keep your skin in its natural healthy balance.

Sweet Almond Oil - Sweet almond oil contains many nutrients that are good for the skin, including vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, and antioxidants. Using almond oil may help soothe and hydrate your skin and hair its also very effective at killing germs.

The antimicrobial properties that make Tea Tree Oil a natural eliminator of home-based bacteria, also removes bacteria (and a primary source of body odour) from your skin.
