All You Need to Know about Deodorant

The purpose of deodorant is clear. It helps us feel fresh and eliminates unpleasant odour caused by bacteria in the armpit.

Do you know that the main function of deodorant is to work against bad odour, while antiperspirant reduces sweat secretion? Both variants have their benefits and meet various needs and types of the skin.

Deodorant and antiperspirant are popular products for daily care and each of them has a specific purpose and a mode of action. Although they are often interchanged, their functions differ.

Deodorant is designed to neutralize body odour but it does not reduce sweating itself. It contains components that destroy bacteria causing bad odour, which ensures a fresh feeling all day long. 

In case of our deodorants, it is alum and lichen extract.

Deodorant is suitable for people who want to avoid ingredients reducing sweating and who appreciate a natural approach to body care. They often include ethereal essences providing pleasant scent and the feeling of cleanliness.

Vice versa, antiperspirant not only works against bad odour but mainly reduces sweating.

It contains active components, such as aluminium compounds that temporarily block sweat glands. This reduces moisture in the armpit, which can be beneficial mainly in hot weather or during sporting activities. Thus, antiperspirant is suitable for those who prefer stronger protection against sweating.

While deodorant only “modifies” odour, antiperspirant influences the process of sweating itself. The choice of deodorant or antiperspirant depends of personal preferences and life style.

Interest in natural deodorant, which does not contain any synthetic odoriferous substances or chemical components, such as aluminium compounds, has increased recently. Such a deodorant exploits natural ingredients that work against odour naturally. Due to that it is skin friendly and often suitable also for sensitive skin.

• Natural deodorants based on alum and lichen allow the skin to breathe and prevent bacteria causing bad odour from growth.
• Alum is a natural and safe substance, naturally occurring in nature and not causing irritation; it is authorised for use in natural certified cosmetics.

Use of deodorant has several benefits, mainly if you prefer products that do not prevent natural sweating. Due to that, mineral deodorant is ideal for daily use during both common or sporting activities.

• Effective for up to 24 hours
• Does not prevent natural sweating
• Allows the skin to breathe
• 0% alcohol and parabens

The choice of the right deodorant depends not only personal preferences but also on skin type and daily activities.

If you have sensitive skin, search for deodorant without any irritant components. Natural deodorant without alcohol and perfume is usually an environmentally sounder choice.

If you prefer to use deodorant regularly, natural or light composition can be ideal for gentle daily care.

For days full of movement or demanding workload we recommend deodorants with long-lasting effects. Our products offer freshness that lasts all day without disrupting the natural process of sweating, so you will feel comfortable even during increased activities.

In the choice of deodorant, it is important to take into account not only scent but also composition and specific needs of your skin.

If you have sensitive skin, avoid deodorant with alcohol or strong perfume, which can irritate your skin. You´d better choose natural deodorant or a hypoallergenic variant.

Some deodorants contain chemical substances, which can be irritant, such as parabens, phthalates or artificial preservatives. If you prefer gentle care, search for deodorants without these additives.

Not every deodorant guarantees the same level of freshness all day long. Try to choose a product corresponding to the level of your activity - some deodorants provide a prolonged effect, which is ideal for long days or sporting activities.

Some deodorants have strong scents, others are tender or entirely without perfume. Think about whether to prefer a deodorant that will just smell good, or a deodorant that can be easily combined with your perfume.
