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.

    Unexpectedly Good Find

    As someone with sensitive skin who stopped using traditional deodorant because they always made my underarms super itchy, irritated, or dark this is such a great find! This scent is so fresh and clean - not overpowering! No weird white cast on your underarms and it doesn’t feel heavy on the skin.

    Cypres-Citronne Deodorant

    I really like the Cypres-Citronne products they released such as the body wash and lotion, so I’m really with how their deodorant turned out in terms of its smell and effectiveness. It lasts throughout my day and is very easy to pack for travel purposes. Highly recommend this deodorant.

    Excellent product.

    I purchased this for my boyfriend after reading about Mandelic acid benefits. He had been using men’s deodorant trying several different brands to help combat body odor and irritation in his armpits. Additionally, the armpit area of his shirts would have stains and residual odor as well.

    Necessaire The Deodorant (Santal) has solved all of these issues! I thought the deodorant was a bit pricey but one container lasts as long as two to three of his containers. Well worth the money!
