10 Important Facts About Natural Deodorants
1. Your Smell Changes
Admittedly, what doesn’t sound great but does happen is that your body odor changes when you use natural deodorant. This is because your body is no longer absorbing the toxins and chemicals found in other traditional deodorants. Your body odor will eventually change slightly, which is your natural smell and completely normal.
2. It Smells Different
No doubt you’re used to the powdery, floral scents of deodorants and antiperspirants. Natural deodorants have different scents because of the ingredients. Plant oils and essential oils create a more natural scent, similar to what you’d experience at a spa, etc.
3. No Bad Stuff
Unlike other traditional deodorants, which contain a variety of toxins and chemicals that have been linked to the cause of diseases like breast cancer, this is because they are absorbed into the skin and lymph nodes. Luckily, the ingredients in natural deodorants are plant-based and rich in essential oils that nourish and care for the skin in a gentler, more natural way. No additional toxins are absorbed into your armpits.
4. It Still Works
There is a common perception that natural deodorant doesn’t work as well as other products. People either use too much of the product or even mix it with other deodorants and antiperspirants. Honestly, the results you get with natural deodorant are pretty impressive and you don’t have to worry about it not working. It works great without all the added chemicals and toxins!
5. It works better over time
After completing your armpit detox and using natural deodorant for a few weeks, you’ll notice that you’re using less product. This is because it starts to work more effectively with more use and time. Some users even say that they can go a day without using it. You can even go a day without using deodorant because your skin can breathe and enjoy the benefits of using natural products to balance your body and skin!
6. Post-shaving sensitivity
Similar to other deodorants, you may experience some skin sensitivity after shaving or waxing your underarms, and if you use deodorant right after shaving, you may develop a slight rash. This is because the baking soda reacts with the post-shaving sensitivity. It’s best to wait until about 10 minutes after using the product. This gives your skin a chance to calm down after shaving and absorb the deodorant without stinging!
7. Follow the Instructions
Natural deodorants are very different from traditional deodorants and also vary depending on the brand used. With this in mind, it’s always a good idea to read the instructions carefully, even if you’re used to using natural deodorants. This will also ensure that the product works and gives you the best results! We’ve published a step-by-step post on our blog.

8. No More Stains
We’ve all been there: a black outfit is completely ruined by streaks of white deodorant! The downside of antiperspirants is that removing it is usually a nightmare! Luckily, with natural deodorants, these wardrobe issues are a thing of the past because natural deodorants won’t stain your clothes, no matter what color they are!
9. You Have to Shave Less Often
Because of the care your skin receives when using natural deodorants, your skin becomes smoother and you experience fewer bumps due to razor burn. You can shave close to your skin so you don’t have to shave as often as before.
10. Moisturizing
Not only do natural deodorants protect against body odor and sweat, the essential oil-rich formula also nourishes the underarm skin very well. This skin is often neglected, so it really benefits from the moisture you get from using natural deodorant.
So there you have it, 10 facts you should know about natural deodorants. There are so many different brands and styles, so you just have to find the one that works best for you! You have to remember one thing: natural is best for your body and can deliver incredible results!
