What Is The Difference Between The Deodorant And The Deodorant Gel?

The Deodorant and The Deodorant Gel both contain Mandelic Acid as the active ingredient for odor protection. The Deodorant is a soft solid stick ideal for normal-to-heavy odor protection. The Deodorant Gel is a clear, quick-dry and no residue liquid gel ideal for light-to-normal odor protection.

Answer

Why Is pH Level Mentioned On The Package?

During the formulation process we optimize the pH of the formula. We believe it directly impacts the safety and efficacy of the formula. The pH objective will vary based on product purpose. On the secondary packaging (carton) we provide a pH range. The reason a pH range is indicated is that pH may vary during the manufacturing process and/or slightly change over time. Formula that does not contain enough water, will not have a pH listed.

Answer

Is This Product Certified Eczema-Safe?

No. This product does not hold The Seal of Approval by the National Eczema Association.

Answer

Can I Use The Product If I Am Pregnant?

We formulate without ingredients on the EU's prohibited substances list (Regulation No.1223/2009, Annex II). This formula is Dermatologist-Tested and Hypoallergenic. If you have any specific concerns, we recommend consulting your doctor prior to use.

Answer

Is This Product Certified Gluten-Free, Soy-Free And Nut-Free?

This product is not certified gluten-free, soy-free or nut-free. This product is manufactured in a facility where gluten, soy and nuts may be used. If you have an allergy to gluten, soy or nuts, we recommend that you do not use this product. If you still wish to try, please consider a patch test.

    I wasn't sure this was going to work, but I am pleasantly surprised. I have used doing anything rigorous but I worn all day doing tasks around the property and there has been no smell.

    THE BEST Deodorant on the market

    I’m now on auto repeat for the best deodorant ever made. Leaves zero stain marks and lasts. Can also be used on the body.

    Best deodorant EVER!

    I'm over the moon that Nécessaire brought the fragrance free version of this deodorant back! I've used virtually every natural deodorant under the sun & nothing has even come close to the effectiveness of this one! It's also gentle on my sensitive skin; it does not cause irritation or rashes. I'm extremely sensitive to scent so I was unable to use the eucalyptus version when the fragrance free version was discontinued. THANK YOU for bringing the fragrance free version back!
