Its 100% natural formula is very minimalist, with just the necessary ingredients. It's a deodorant, not an antiperspirant: it doesn't block perspiration but it is odor-fighting, preventing the growth of bacteria (because these are what cause bad odors!).
Contrary to popular belief, sweat is practically odorless. It's not perspiration itself that's responsible for bad smells! It's the bacteria that, when they consume the sweat, produce odorous chemical compounds.
The combination of coconut oil, sodium bicarbonate, and palmarosa and geranium essential oils in the formula inhibits bacterial growth and therefore prevents unpleasant odors. Proof that you don't need controversial ingredients to get a product that works! A simple, effective, and natural product.
Its balm texture is easy to apply with your finger and quickly penetrates the skin, so you can get dressed right away without staining your clothes.
Bonus: coconut oil and corn starch take care of irritated skin, and we know that this is the case for many armpits because of hair removal!
It is handcrafted in Brittany and the glass jar is returnable: you can bring it back to the store to be cleaned and refilled, or reuse it as you wish!
Its average lifespan is 3 months.
Does this deodorant balm contain aluminum salts?
No! Aluminum salts (including alum stone, since it's an alum salt) stimulate cell multiplication to clog skin pores and thus block perspiration. Besides, most are chemical and controversial! But perspiration is a natural phenomenon that regulates body temperature and detoxifies our system. It's therefore essential! We, on the other hand, prefer deodorants, odor neutralizers, and moisture regulators.
