Mr. Bassett's natural deodorant combines a variety of beneficial ingredients, including probiotic bacteria, coconut oil, magnesium, and vitamin E. This unique formulation works to soothe the skin while effectively neutralizing odour. Probiotic bacteria help maintain a balanced skin microbiome, preventing the growth of odour-causing bacteria. Coconut oil and vitamin E nourish and moisturize the skin, while magnesium plays a crucial role in eliminating odours without relying on harmful chemicals commonly found in traditional deodorants.
To use Mr. Bassett's natural deodorant, you should scrape a small amount with the back of your thumb nail and massage it into clean armpits for a few seconds. This method aids absorption, allowing the natural ingredients to work effectively.
Natural deodorants differ from traditional deodorants in that they do not contain aluminium or synthetic chemicals. Instead of blocking sweat glands, they allow for natural perspiration while focusing on controlling odour. When transitioning to natural deodorants, many individuals experience a detox period, which can last from a few days to a couple of weeks. During this time, users might notice increased sweating and odour as their bodies adjust to the absence of aluminium-based products.
Magnesium in natural deodorants is not only effective for odour control but also has calming properties that can contribute to better sleep. Although the amount absorbed through the skin is minimal, its inclusion is an added benefit for those looking for rest, recovery and relaxation.
FAQ's:
How does natural deodorant work?
How Natural Deodorants Work:
-
Odour Control: Natural deodorants aim to neutralise body odour rather than prevent sweat. They typically contain ingredients like baking soda, magnesium, coconut oil, and essential oils that help kill or inhibit the growth of odour-causing bacteria. Sweat itself doesn’t smell, but when bacteria break down proteins in sweat, it causes odour. Natural deodorants combat this bacteria without using synthetic chemicals.
-
Allowing Natural Sweating: Unlike antiperspirants, natural deodorants do not block sweat. Sweating is a natural function that helps regulate body temperature and eliminate toxins. Natural deodorants allow this process to happen while focusing on reducing odour by controlling bacterial growth.
Skin-Friendly Ingredients: Many natural deodorants contain moisturising and soothing ingredients like coconut oil. They often avoid synthetic chemicals, parabens, SLS, SLES and other nasties.
How Traditional Antiperspirants/Deodorants Work:
-
Sweat Blockage: Traditional antiperspirants usually contain aluminium compounds that block sweat glands. Aluminium salts react with sweat to form a gel-like plug that temporarily blocks the glands, preventing sweat from reaching the skin's surface. This is why antiperspirants reduce wetness and can stop sweating in the treated area.
-
Synthetic Fragrances and Preservatives: Traditional deodorants often include synthetic fragrances to mask odours and preservatives like parabens to extend shelf life. There are ongoing debates about the safety of these chemicals, with concerns that they might be linked to health issues like hormone disruption and cancer.
Is there a transition Period, and if so will I smell better or worse?
When switching from a traditional antiperspirant to a natural deodorant, many people experience a detox phase. During this time, your body may produce more sweat and odour as it adjusts to no longer having aluminium blocking the sweat glands. After this period, You will find that natural deodorants are effective in managing odour without affecting the body's natural functions.
In summary, natural deodorants focus on odour control using natural ingredients, while traditional antiperspirants rely on synthetic compounds to block sweating and mask odour. You might notice some odd Body Odour from your pits for the first few days/week as your body expels the gunk but after this period You will not need artifical chemical gunk anymore!
