Deodorant is an important part of our daily hygiene. However, do you know how it works and what is the difference between deodorant and antiperspirant? In this article you will learn how to choose the best deodorant, what to watch out when choosing it and what ingredients you find in the formulae of our deodorants and why.
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.
What is the difference between deodorant and antiperspirant?
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
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.
Lichen extract
Lichen extract is valued in cosmetics mainly for its strong anti-bacterial and antifungal properties, which were proved by tests against various strains of bacteria.
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.
Our range includes mineral deodorants with the scent of Meadow and Daisy or variants for men from the Men Original and Men & Bicycle ranges.
Antiperspirant
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.
Natural Deodorant: Trend that Makes Sense
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.
High-quality mineral deodorant allows the skin to breathe and to sweat naturally, which is very beneficial to our body.
What are the benefits of natural mineral deodorant?
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.

Suitable Formula also for Sensitive 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.
Absence of Undesired Substances
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.
Durability and Efficiency
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.
Scent and its Intensity
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.
Deodorant is an invaluable companion in daily care ensuring freshness and a pleasant feeling. Our range includes several natural deodorants suitable for all types of skin. Try a deodorant meeting your needs and discover the world of freshness offered by natural care.
