Why have Sodium Bicarbonate Free Deodorant – 

Sodium Bicarbonate can cause pH Imbalance as it has a high pH level (around 9 to 10), while healthy skin is slightly acidic (around 5). 

The strong alkaline formula can disrupt the skin barrier, leading to dryness, burning, itching, or painful rashes, especially after shaving. 

Many people tolerate baking soda at first but develop contact dermatitis or sensitivity after weeks or months of continuous use.

Ingredients –

Arrowroot (lightweight, natural starch that absorbs excess oil, calms skin irritation, and provides a silky, matte finish. It serves as a safe, talc-free alternative).

White Kaolin Clay (Soothes irritation and provides a mild, creamy richness and gentle detoxifying action).

Shea Butter (deeply moisturizes dry skin, strengthens the skin barrier with essential fatty acids, calms redness and irritation through anti-inflammatory properties, and fights premature aging using antioxidant vitamins A and E).

Mango Butter (delivers deep moisture, supports skin healing, and fights aging signs without feeling greasy or heavily clogging pores).

Coconut Oil (deeply moisturizes dry skin, locks in hydration, strengthens the skin barrier and calms irritation). 

Sweet Almond Oil (breaks down dirt and makeup without harsh chemicals, hydrates the skin and locks in moisture.  Eases puffiness and dark circles under the eyes and calms irritation.  Helps improve overall tone and texture fading scars and marks while remaining gentle enough for sensitive skin types).

Candelilla Wax (is a plant-based ingredient derived entirely from the leaves of the wild candelilla shrub, making it a cruelty-free substitute for beeswax.  It acts as a lightweight film, forming a breathable barrier on the skin that prevents water loss and dehydration. It shields your skin from harsh wind, cold weather, and everyday pollution.  It adds a natural, subtle sheen and smooth glide to the deodorant/antiperspirant without feeling heavy or sticky.  It has a high melting point, which helps the deodorant/antiperspirant keep their solid shape and firmness even during hot summer weather.  It is naturally odourless, tasteless, hypoallergenic and well-tolerated by sensitive skin types). 

Zinc Oxide (it reflects and scatters harmful UVA and UVB rays away from your face and body. It acts like a physical shield for sun protection.  It is soothing and healing by calming inflammation and helps heal minor cuts, burns, and rashes. It is very gentle on sensitive skin such as underarms.  It forms a protective layer that stops moisture from leaving the skin and keeps dirt and irritants out.  It helps balance skin oil production.  This makes it useful for people with acne-prone skin).

Vitamin E (a powerful antioxidant that protects skin cells from damage, helps lock in moisture, and supports the skin's natural barrier).

Essential Oils

Lemongrass essential oil (lemongrass essential oil contains citral, which actively inhibits the growth of bacteria on the skin that cause bad underarm odours.  It leaves a clean, fresh citrus scent, and energizing fragrance that naturally neutralizes odours without synthetic perfumes. Components in lemongrass give anti-inflammatory properties that can calm irritated underarm skin reducing skin inflammation.  Its natural astringent action helps minimize excess oil and moisture on the skin's surface.  Lemongrass naturally deters mosquitoes and bugs, offering a helpful extra layer of protection for outdoor activities).

Lavender essential oil (lavender oil contains active compounds that stop odour-causing bacteria from growing on your skin.  Lavender helps calm, soften, and repair sensitive skin such as underarms which get easily irritated from shaving and friction.  The floral aroma promotes relaxation because stress triggers extra sweating, calming your mind helps lower stress-induced odour.  It leaves a clean, pleasant, and natural floral fragrance instead of harsh synthetic perfumes).
