Ingredient Guide for Deodorants

Detailed insights into the ingredients we track in this category.

Ingredients We Avoid

Aluminium Compounds

The active ingredient in antiperspirants that blocks sweat ducts, flagged for potential links to breast cancer and Alzheimer's disease due to absorption through the skin.

Parabens

Chemical preservatives used to extend shelf life that are flagged for their ability to mimic oestrogen and disrupt hormonal balance.

Triclosan

An antimicrobial agent that has been flagged for contributing to antibiotic resistance and disrupting thyroid hormone regulation.

Propylene Glycol

A penetration enhancer that helps other chemicals absorb deeper into the skin, flagged for causing allergic reactions and skin irritation.

Synthetic Fragrance

An undisclosed blend of chemicals that is one of the leading causes of contact dermatitis and allergic reactions in personal care products.

Phthalates

Hidden in synthetic fragrances to make scents last longer, flagged for links to reproductive and developmental disruption.

Alcohol Denat

A drying alcohol used as a quick-drying agent that strips the skin's natural barrier, causing irritation and dryness, particularly after shaving.

Talc

A mineral used to absorb moisture that may be contaminated with asbestos fibres and has been flagged for links to respiratory issues and cancer.

Baking Soda (High Concentration)

While natural, high concentrations of sodium bicarbonate disrupt the skin's pH balance, causing painful underarm rashes and irritation in many users.

Silica

Synthetic silica particles used as an abrasive or absorbent that can cause irritation and are flagged for inhalation risks during manufacturing.

Beneficial Ingredients

Magnesium Hydroxide

A naturally derived mineral that neutralises odour-causing bacteria without blocking sweat ducts, making it the gold standard in natural deodorant formulation.

Zinc Ricinoleate

A zinc salt derived from castor oil that traps and neutralises odour molecules rather than masking them, providing long-lasting natural odour control.

Sodium Bicarbonate (Low Concentration)

At low concentrations, baking soda effectively neutralises body odour by creating an alkaline environment where odour-causing bacteria cannot thrive.

Coconut Oil

A natural antimicrobial oil that inhibits the growth of odour-causing bacteria while deeply moisturising the delicate underarm skin.

Shea Butter

A rich, natural emollient that soothes and conditions the underarm skin, reducing irritation especially after shaving or waxing.

Aloe Vera

A calming botanical that soothes sensitive underarm skin, reduces redness, and provides lightweight hydration without leaving a greasy residue.

Arrowroot Powder

A plant-derived starch that absorbs excess moisture naturally, keeping underarms feeling dry without blocking the body's natural perspiration process.

Probiotics

Beneficial bacteria cultures that rebalance the underarm microbiome, addressing the root cause of body odour rather than simply masking it.

Essential Oils

Naturally derived aromatic compounds from plants that provide fragrance without the hidden chemical cocktail found in synthetic fragrance blends.

Candelilla Wax

A plant-derived wax from the candelilla shrub that provides a smooth, even application while being fully vegan and biodegradable.
