On each product you will find a "best before" date, the date that has been stamped tells you how long the product lasts. It can vary from 1-2 years from the production date. This date applies to an unopened product!

There is also an open-can symbol that indicates the number of months the product will stay fresh after you open it. For almost all of our products, 6 months apply.

What you can do to ensure shelf life in the best possible way is to store the product in a dark and cool place and to make sure to tighten the jar/lid tightly to avoid the product coming into contact with oxygen.

However, remember that common sense also applies here, the product does not expire and become bad on a set date, the best thing you can do is to smell and feel the product to rule out whether it can be used.

We scent our products with only natural 100% organically certified essential oils. We also have some products that only contain the oils/waxes' own natural scents.

It is absolutely fine to use all our products even if you are pregnant and/or breastfeeding.

Our products contain no hormone-disrupting substances and no synthetic fragrances. All raw materials used can thus be broken down by the body and nature in a natural way.

There is very weak evidence that e.g. arnica, lavender and tea tree could have alleged hormone-disrupting effects, but the choice is yours if you want to avoid them, we also offer fragrance-free products.

Unfortunately, a cream contains a lot other than moisture and fat, i.e. some form of preservative that we see has a negative impact on our skin's microflora. With our products, we want to support and balance the microflora and not risk destroying it, which is why we have opted out of creams.

Thanks for caring. We do not test any products on animals and since 2013 animal testing has been prohibited within the EU.

We have chosen not to use animal raw materials other than those that come from beekeeping in our products. That is, beeswax and honey are raw materials we accept in our skin care. We exclude all other forms of non-vegan ingredients.

The beeswax we use in our products comes from a local beekeeper and we know for sure that they take care of their bees and crops so no animals are harmed.

Some of our products contain beeswax, but you will also find completely vegan products from us. 

On all product pages, it is printed whether the product is vegan-friendly. 

I'M Nordic Eco Cosmetics products are not certified, but all raw materials are, according to various eco certifications. So even if we are not, the raw materials are.

1. How to use Natural/Shea aluminum-free deodorant

You take a dab with clean fingers or a spatula and rub into the armpits. Wait until it is absorbed into the skin before getting dressed. When you have shaved, it is recommended that you wait an hour before use. If you previously used an antiperspirant and switch to an aluminum-free deodorant, you may initially feel that you sweat more, because the pores are not clogged with Natural/Shea Deo.

2. I get eczema from regular deodorants, can I use Natural/Shea Deo?

Since Natural/Shea Deo is an aluminum free deodorant that does not contain other chemicals like many of the commercial deodorants in stores, we definitely think it is worth trying them. We usually recommend those with sensitive skin to first try the deodorant without added essential oil, Natural Deo-Pure.

3. Will there be stains on the clothes? 

Allow the deodorant to absorb into the skin for a little while before you get dressed, and you will avoid possible grease stains on your clothes. Should you get white marks on the shirt, they can be easily removed by rubbing a little with a damp towel.

4. My Natural/Shea Deo has become loose in texture?

The deodorants consist largely of coconut oil, which changes in consistency depending on the temperature. If it melts completely, stir the contents and leave to cool for a while and it can be used again.

5. How long does Natural/Shea Deo last?

With daily use, the jar lasts for approx. 3 months. One jar contains 60 ml.

6. Why do I sweat more in the beginning?

If you have been using aluminum-based deodorant for a long time, you may have a total blockage in your sweat glands. Normally, the aluminum leaves the body within three days, but the body's waste products still remain in the lymph nodes. This results in the smell of sweat and other malodorous substances that can be excreted for up to a week, while the body is cleansed of impurities. We are not supposed to clog the pores, they are toxins that come out of the body in the form of sweat and waste products, therefore it is very important that we release them. But after a short time you notice that the Natural/Shea Deo starts to last. Some customers say they were able to switch directly to a Natural/Shea Deo without any problems. It is very individual how the transition goes to a natural deodorant

7. Why do I get spots and blisters in my armpit after starting to use Natural/Shea Deo?

If you have been using aluminum-based deodorant for a long time, you may have a total blockage in your sweat glands. Normally, the aluminum leaves the body within three days, but the body's waste products still remain in the lymph nodes. If you then avoid using the deodorant for a while, these waste products will also leave the body. This results in the smell of sweat and other malodorous substances that can be excreted for up to a week, while the body is cleansed of impurities.

If you simultaneously use our deodorant Natural/Shea Deo, the combination can cause irritation of varying degrees in the armpit, as the bicarbonate reacts with different substances. Wait with our deodorant until the body has cleaned out the waste products and then start carefully with small doses that you gradually increase until you notice that it works.

Sometimes it happens that the products don't have the same color as before, or that the scent can feel different. We manufacture natural products and in different harvests all raw materials can have their own scent. The cultivation period could have been wet or dry, and this of course affects the final product. We strive to always get the compositions as similar as possible. Also remember that our products are made by hand.
