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 clean odor control. The Deodorant is a soft solid stick ideal for normal-to-heavy odor control. The Deodorant Gel is a clear, quick-dry and no residue liquid gel ideal for light-to-normal odor control.

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?

    The Best!

    This is the only deodorant I use and I stock up so I am never out of it. The scent is perfect - not too strong or overwhelming but does the trick. I don't think it is an antiperspirant, which I prefer anyway (more natural), so it still let's me perspire naturally which is also a bonus because it doesn't clog or block pores or irritate skin.

    Great!

    Have been using this product for several years and couldn’t be happier. Amazing odor protection for an unscented deodorant. Great consistency. Leaves very little residue — though not none.

    THE BEST deodorant i have ever tried

    Just buy it. Seriously. I am a sweaty guy, and this is the only deodorant that works. Whatever formula they use simply works. I have tried many natural deodorants and this is the only one where I smell great even late into the evening. THE BEST
