Agent Nateur | Holi(stick) N3 Deodorant

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.

Castor oil is produced by cold-pressing seeds from the Ricinus communis plant. This thick, natural oil is known to hydrate the skin and reduce odor-causing bacteria.

Lavandin is a natural hybrid of English lavender and spike lavender grown exclusively in southern France. Cherished for its high production of essential oil and camphorous scent, this fragrant herb radiates a clean, gentle aroma that balances the root chakra.

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. To prevent sensitivity to baking soda, do an apple cider vinegar wash before applying. Shave armpits in the evening to prevent irritation.

Founder’s Notes: If your skin is sensitive, shave the night before. Also, a little goes a long way. If N3 is staining your shirt, you’re using too much product. Blot underarms with a dry washcloth or apply less.

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.
