Agent Nateur | Holi (Stick) Sensitive Deodorant (Baking Soda Free)

Coconut oil is a nourishing oil that contains a unique combination of fatty acids recognized for their health benefits. About 50% of these fatty acids are lauric acid, known to soothe dryness and restore the skin’s natural bacterial balance to reduce odor.

Avocado butter is produced from the flesh of the avocado fruit and offers nature’s purest vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids. This rich balm melts upon contact with the skin, leaving a hydrating layer with a velvety finish.

Non-nano zinc oxide is a mild astringent with natural cleansing properties. This alternative to aluminum calms irritation due to shaving and eradicates pathogens that cause odor.

Arrowroot powder is rich in essential minerals including potassium and calcium and is commonly used to absorb oils. When applied to the skin, this natural ingredient reduces odors and hydrates.

Sandalwood oil is commonly used in aromatherapy rituals. Its earthy aroma promotes calmness and harmony while supporting the third eye chakra and fostering deeper connection with the self.

Apply 2-3 swipes to clean underarms and re-apply throughout the day, if needed. This product is highly concentrated and should not stain clothing so long as the proper amount is used. If you do experience staining, use less product or blot underarms with a dry washcloth after application to remove excess.

If you have a history of sensitive skin, perform a spot test on the inside of your wrist for 2 to 3 days prior to using. Shave armpits in the evening to prevent irritation.

Founder's Notes: For sensitive skin, shave the underarms the night before applying. Plus, a little goes a long way. If your shirts are getting stained, it’s a sign you’re using too much. Use less product and blot the underarms with a dry towel before getting dressed.

HOW TO MAKE THE SWITCH:

When transitioning to an all-natural deodorant, your body may need a couple of weeks to adjust.

You may notice a detox period. This is your body ridding itself of your old antiperspirant and the chemicals in the antiperspirant. You may notice a rash, heavy perspiration and/or odour. Don't give up! Check out our Curated for | A Underarm Detox bundle for all the necessities.

Apply the deodorant a couple of times a day if needed in the beginning, until your body adjusts to the changes. Avoid using immediately after shaving. Shave in the evening if necessary, to avoid irritation. The longer you use it, the less you need, and you will be able to skip a day while still smelling fresh.

If you notice redness or irritation after a couple of weeks, take a day or two break from the deodorant, or alternate with a baking soda-free version (Check out the Curated for | A Underarm Detox *Sensitive Skin version), and then come back to it. It will be worth it, keeping the chemicals out of your body and/or breastmilk.
