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?

    If you discontinue i’ll sue for emotional distress

    It’s amazing how light yet effective this is. it feels like i’m wearing nothing and it OBJECTIVELY leaves me smelling like nothing. I haven’t had this in the summer time yet. It is water based so I can assume it might sweat of with profuse sweating. Necessaire’s The Deodorant Fragrance-Free and Olibaum are amazing. I use the fragrance/free version more only to accurately judge its effectiveness. you can use the gel and solid versions anywhere on your body. There’s an intimate deodorant with the same active ingredients in the solid but more diluted. It really does prevent odor no matter where you put on (externally) on your body.

    10 out of 5 stars. Smart formula, thin yet effective. The only thing i dont like much is the roller when you have long armpit hair. It’s rarely pinches the hair in between the roller. i can’t choose between the gel and the solid. i can use the gel by itself and have other noses in my armpits for confirmation and they’ll smell nothing! Love it! Shower properly though so you’re not hating on this amazing product.

    Best deodorant gel i have ever tried. Glad they brought it back and i hope it is permanent. My only gripe is the bottle could have remained transparent instead of this new opaque design - i would like to see how much i have used up.

    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.
