How to use the deodorant cream correctly
Tips and tricks
Apply our 100% natural deodorant cream directly to your armpits with your fingers and rub it in briefly. It's best to do this after a refreshing shower or bath.
The deodorant creams are very effective. A small fingertip per armpit is enough to protect you from unpleasant sweat odor all day long

This is how our deodorant cream works
No more stinking
We all know it: you come home from exercise or sit in the office all day and suddenly an unpleasant smell hits your nose. But did you know that fresh sweat is actually odorless? It only starts to smell unpleasant when the bacteria on our skin break down the sweat.
And that's exactly where our deodorant cream comes in. With the bacteria. Our deodorant cream makes life difficult for the bacteria . It contains zinc oxide, baking soda, healing clay and corn starch, among other things.
Zinc oxide is a natural powder made of zinc and oxygen. It has an antibacterial and odor-neutralizing effect. It inhibits bacterial growth and also relieves razor burn.
Sodium bicarbonate, also known as sodium bicarbonate, has an alkaline effect and neutralizes odors. By changing the pH value, it inhibits the activity of odor-producing bacteria. It absorbs moisture and binds sweat. These properties are supported by healing clay and corn starch .
Our deodorant cream combats unpleasant body odor without suppressing natural sweating. The pores are not closed and the natural regulating skin function is maintained.
Find your favorite fragrance
Bergamot, lavender, mint or natural
Our cream deodorants are available in four different varieties. Whether you're longing for a touch of Italy, would rather feel the breath of Provence on your skin or are looking for something sparkling and fresh, we have the perfect fragrance for you. And if you prefer something fragrance-neutral, choose Nature.
The advantages of our deodorant cream
A deodorant cream offers many advantages over other forms of deodorant. Deodorant creams allow for precise application, as you can apply the desired amount directly and control exactly where the deodorant is applied. This means the creams are very economical. If used daily, a 50ml can lasts up to 5 months.
Another advantage is the long-lasting protection they offer without clogging your pores. The creamy texture allows the active ingredients to stay on the skin longer and continue their effects.
You sweat, but you don't stink. The deodorant cream protects you from sweat odor for up to 24 hours.
Deodorant creams are well tolerated, especially by people with sensitive or dry skin. The moisturizing ingredients such as marigold oil protect your skin from drying out. Our deodorant creams leave your skin feeling well cared for and comfortable.
When making deodorant creams, we only use natural, sustainable and harmless raw materials. You won't find any artificial preservatives, fragrances or dyes in our deodorants. We also avoid aluminum, alcohol, palm oil, microplastics and paraffins. Instead, we prefer to use local raw materials such as beeswax, marigold and sunflower oil, instead of shea butter, coconut oil or aloe vera.
Another plus point is the packaging. We fill them in recyclable or reusable aluminum cans, which helps reduce plastic waste. We don't need any propellants in our packaging.
Whether you ultimately decide on a spray deodorant, a roll-on, a stick or a cream is a matter of taste.
Reliable protection
Our deodorant cream is a deodorant and not an antiperspirant. We are not trying to stop you from sweating, but rather to prevent the formation of bad and unpleasant sweat odors with the deodorant. Our deodorant creams work reliably and are effective for up to 24 hours.

The real reason for sweating
Without sweating, our body would overheat. When we exercise, our body produces heat and sweat helps us to dissipate this heat and thus regulate our body temperature. This way, we can exercise for longer periods of time without overheating to an unhealthy level.
But we don't just sweat when we're doing sports. We also produce sweat when it's hot, when we have a fever or when we're in the sauna to regulate our body temperature. We don't just sweat in the typical places like under our arms or on our palms, but all over our body.
Another reason for sweating is hormonal changes in our body. In stressful situations or when we are afraid, our body produces more of the hormone adrenaline, which causes us to breathe faster and deeper and our heart to beat faster. Sweating is also increased by this hormone. The body is on alert and prepares for a possible flight or fight.
Everyone sweats differently. Some people sweat more than others, which is completely normal.
So, the next time we sweat, we should remember that our body is just trying to keep us healthy. 😊
Sustainability
Recyclable aluminum cans
We package our deodorant cream in a recyclable aluminum can. Aluminum cans protect our handmade natural products better than glass jars. We do not use synthetic preservatives in our natural products, so protection through packaging is essential.
Aluminium cans have a much higher light protection than glass, which helps our products to last longer . Our aluminium cans are food-safe and made in the EU. They can be used in cosmetics without any concerns.
Of course, we are aware that the production of glass and aluminum packaging requires large amounts of energy. However, aluminum performs better in terms of sustainability when it comes to recycling performs better than glass and has a lower environmental impact.
Aluminum cans also have advantages when it comes to transportation and storage. Compared to glass jars, aluminum cans are significantly lighter, which means less energy is needed for transportation and fuel consumption is reduced . Another important aspect is that aluminum cans are less fragile than glass jars.
For these reasons we chose aluminum cans.

I shower every day, why should I still use deodorant?
Showering daily does help to eliminate the smell of sweat. But it does not protect you from new unpleasant body odor that can develop during the day. Our deodorant ensures that you feel fresh all day long, even in particularly stressful situations. Did you know that you sweat at night too? If you use your deodorant in the evening, you will start the day feeling fresher.
Guarantee - What do I do if I am dissatisfied with the product?
Get in touch with us. We stand behind our products. If you are not satisfied with our deodorant cream or our deodorant stick, you will receive the full purchase price back.
Do I have to store the deodorant in the refrigerator?
No, that is not necessary. You can store your deodorant at room temperature.
Are your deodorants vegan?
No, our deodorants are not vegan. They contain, among other things, beeswax and wool fat. We prefer to use regional raw materials instead of ingredients such as coconut oil, shea butter or aloe vera, which have to be transported over long distances. This keeps the distances shorter and allows us to consider local suppliers. This also helps the environment.
I sweat a lot, is your deodorant good for me?
If you sweat a lot, our deodorant is a good choice for you. Whether as a stick or cream, our deodorant helps you prevent the unpleasant smell without suppressing natural sweating.
We deliberately avoid aluminum because we don't want to prevent your body from sweating - an important function for regulating body temperature. Instead, we use natural ingredients such as baking soda, zinc oxide and healing clay, which neutralize acids and fight bacteria that are responsible for the unpleasant smell.
So you will continue to sweat, but the deodorant will ensure that it doesn't smell unpleasant. For optimal protection, it's best to apply the deodorant to dry skin immediately after showering or bathing.
Hinterlässt das Deo Flecken?
Eine eindeutige Antwort darauf zu geben, ist nicht so einfach. Denn jeder von uns schwitzt unterschiedlich stark, und auch die Zusammensetzung unseres Schweisses sowie die Beschaffenheit der Kleidung spielen eine Rolle dabei, ob sich Flecken bilden oder nicht.
Deodorant cream or deodorant stick, which product is better?
For both variants, we only use natural, sustainable and harmless raw materials. You will not find any artificial preservatives, fragrances or colorants in either the deodorant cream or the deodorant stick. There is also no alcohol, palm oil, microplastics or paraffins. Both products are aluminum-free.
Both work on the same principle: they inhibit bacterial growth and reliably protect against unpleasant body odor. Whether you choose the stick or the cream depends entirely on your preferences. While you apply the deodorant cream with your fingers like an ointment, you simply glide the stick over your skin.
Are the deodorants also suitable for teenagers?
Of course – our deodorant creams and deodorant sticks are also ideal for teenagers. They are very well tolerated, reliably protect against unpleasant body odor and are free of synthetic preservatives, fragrances and dyes. Especially during puberty, when hormonal changes affect sweat production, our deodorants offer reliable protection for up to 24 hours.
I have sensitive skin. Which deodorant is right for me?
Our deodorant creams and deodorant sticks are very well tolerated. They are 100% natural and contain no artificial fragrances, dyes, or preservatives. We use natural, organic essential oils for their subtle scent.
If you have very sensitive skin, we recommend our fragrance-free "Nature" version. For this reason, we omit the natural scent of essential oils. You can get Deodorant Nature as a stick or in two sizes as a cream.

Deodorant or antiperspirant?
In our everyday language, there is no distinction between them. But there is a significant difference between a deodorant and an antiperspirant.
An antiperspirant is intended to inhibit local sweat formation. By clogging the pores with aluminum salts, the sweat is prevented from emerging on the surface of the skin.
The deodorant, on the other hand, combats the bad smell of sweat as soon as it occurs. Deodorants often do not contain aluminum salts, but rather antibacterial substances and fragrances that inhibit the formation of sweat odor. Unpleasant smells only arise when bacteria break down the sweat on our skin. This is exactly where our deodorants come in. They contain zinc oxide, baking soda, healing clay and corn starch. These active ingredients make life difficult for the bacteria.
