Use
Smear a dab of deodorant into the armpit and let it absorb into the skin. A small amount is enough for both armpits, as the product is very thick. Wait until it is absorbed into the skin before getting dressed.
After shaving, it is recommended that you wait an hour before use. If you previously used an antiperspirant and switch to a natural deo, you may initially feel that you sweat more, because the pores are not clogged with Natural Deo.
Natural Deo is easy to use and keeps you fresh all day. It does not contain alcohol, aluminium, dyes or animal ingredients. A natural choice for your body!
All our Natural Deon are vegan friendly.

FAQ
1. How to use and apply Natural deo and Shea deo?
Take a dab with clean fingers or a spatula and rub into the armpits by massaging or stroking. Wait a while for it to be absorbed into the skin before getting dressed. When you have shaved, it is recommended that you wait an hour before use to avoid possible burning because the skin is damaged when shaving.
2. I get eczema from regular deodorants, can I tolerate Natural/Shea Deo?
Since Natural/Shea Deo is an aluminum and non-toxic deodorant that does not contain chemicals like many of the commercial deodorants in stores, we definitely think it is worth trying our Natural deos. We usually recommend those with sensitive skin to first try the deodorant without added essential oil, Natural Deo-Pure or Shea Deo-Pure
3. Are there stains on the clothes?
The classic yellow discolorations of aluminum compounds that you can usually see on white clothes are completely avoided with our natural deo.
It is important to let the deodorant soak into the skin for a little while before you get dressed, also to only take as small an amount as you need to avoid possible grease stains on your clothes. Should you get white marks on the shirt, they are easily removed by rubbing a little with a damp towel or brushing with a clothes brush.
4. My Natural/Shea Deo has become loose in consistency? What do I do?
Natural deodorants largely consist 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.
The same applies to Shea deo, although it has a much higher melting point because it contains beeswax that can withstand higher temperatures.
5. Why do I sweat more at first?
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 Natural/Shea Deo starts to "hold". 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.
6. Do you smell more sweat in certain periods?
Yes, some may experience that they smell more sweat during certain periods, especially women with an active menstrual cycle.
7. How long does a 60 ml jar of deo last?
With daily use, the jar lasts for approx. 3 months.
8. Why do I get dots and blisters / or rashes in the 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.
You can also get a rash because you can react to bicarbonate, which is basic, bicarbonate is in the product for its fantastic ability to neutralize the smell of sweat.
The skin in the armpit has an acidic PH and when you apply the basic bicarbonate you can get a rash. If you experience problems with this, we recommend you try this
-Always wash the armpits at night and apply a soothing cream, e.g. our body butter
-You can try neutralizing your armpits with apple cider vinegar after the evening cleansing, mix about 1 part ecv with 10 parts water and bathe the armpit. Then apply something soothing.
A very irritated skin needs to heal and if you experience major problems, it may be good to take a break from deo. If you have questions or would like advice, you can always contact us via e-mail.
