FAQs

When making the switch from commercial deodorants to 100% natural deodorants, a rash or irritation under the arm can occur. Your body is adjusting to the alkaline pH of the bicarbonate of soda in our deodorant, which is an active ingredient. Bicarb of soda is a natural antibacterial that neutralises the odour under your arm. However, your body may need to adjust to it, which may take a week or two for most people.

If this is the case for you, we recommend you wean ONTO The Natural Deodorant by using it twice spread out through the first week, then three times spread out through the second week. If you are experiencing an extreme reaction or intolerable discomfort, discontinue the use of your Natural Deodorant, as you may have a severe sensitivity to the bicarb. This is rare but it can occur.

There can be. Occasionally some people find after using an anti-perspirant for a long time their body needs to re-adjust to sweating naturally again. So give your body the chance to adjust.

To maintain the 100% Natural integrity of our products, we do not add any additives or stabilisers to our deodorants or body products. Coconut oil is a main ingredient in our deodorant jar, which naturally softens in the heat. When this happens we advise you give it a good stir with the back of a spoon, and if the temperature reaches over 30 degrees, it is best to put it in the fridge for a little while. We recommend you keep The Natural Deodorant in a cool place over summer.

To maintain the 100% Natural integrity of our products, we do not add any additives or stabilisers to our deodorants or body products. Coconut oil is a main ingredient in our deodorant jar, which naturally hardens in the colder temperatures. When this occurs, scrape a small amount of deodorant with the spatula provided and put it onto your palm, then rub it with your finger. It will soften quickly. When soft, apply it to your underarm. You can also add a small drop of warm water to your palm and rub into the deodorant to make an easy-to-apply paste before rubbing it in under your arm.

If the Deodorant STICK gets a little dry in the cooler weather, you can run the end of the deodorant under a little warm water and it will be easy to apply.

NB: The softening and hardening of the deodorant is natural and does not hinder the natural integrity of the deodorant.

The deodorant can be kept in the bathroom. It is best kept away from direct sunlight in a cool place.

Yes. However, we recommend that you to keep the deodorant out of direct sunlight. It is preferable to keep it in a cool dark place and standing the right way up when in the car.

Scoop a pea-size amount out of the jar with the spatula provided. If it is firm, rub it into your palm to soften before applying it under your arm. Repeat for the other side.

Absolutely. If you are very sweaty or stinky, or if you have had a long day or an extremely stressful day, re-applying the Natural Deodorant will immediately neutralise any odour and you will feel fresh again. Most people don’t need to do this, but we are all different.

As a general guide, The Natural Deodorant JAR and STICK should last you between 3 and 4 months.

Our feet and hands have different functions and are exposed to different environments throughout the day. Therefore, they need different products to nurture and rejuvenate them.

The ingredients in The Natural Foot Balm specifically target the feet; it is fantastic for rejuvenating and moisturising dry, peeling and cracked feet and it even helps with odour.

The Natural Hand Butter is rich and nutritious for your hands. It has more ingredients, which are specifically blended to revitalise all types of skin on the hands.

Yes, you can! However, for both products a little amount goes a very long way, so we suggest only massaging a small amount into your hands or feet. If you wash your hands regularly, we do suggest using The Natural Hand Butter in the day.

For best results, massage a generous amount through your hands and fingers and around your cuticles when you go to bed at night.

A main ingredient of our butters is unrefined certified organic Shea Butter. Shea Butter has a natural tendency to change consistency with the change of temperature, change of weather and the humidity or dryness in the air. Sometimes, it feels smooth; sometimes, it feels grainy or bally.

It is extremely difficult to control and we make the best effort in minimising this effect when we work with the butter in making our products. This effect is sometimes reduced when using more refined Shea Butter. However, we prefer to use our products in its most natural unhampered state.

The change of consistency of Shea Butter does NOT affect the efficacy and rich moisturising effects it has on your skin and in feeding your skin. We recommend taking the usual amount and rubbing it between your palms with flat hands. In this way, the graininess melts away. Then rub it into your hands, body or feet. Enjoy:)
