How do deodorants work?
Perspiring or sweating plays a vital role in maintaining the normal health of our
bodies. Amongst the essential functions of perspiring are the elimination of toxins,
maintaining the balance of salt levels, and the regulation of body temperature.
Research has shown that perspiration is almost odourless when fresh, but when allowed
to remain on the skin it develops the well-known sweaty odour commonly referred
to as BO. Much of this is due to the presence of bacteria that breed in the warm,
moist, nutrient-rich conditions created by perspiration.
Unfortunately in the quest for ever stronger and more effective deodorants, stronger
and more powerful chemicals have started to be used. Some of these chemicals have
now been linked to health problems ranging from skin irritation and contact dermatitis
from alcohol and triclosan, to more serious problems such as reported lung damage
from zirconium salts in some deodorant sprays.
Why should I avoid antiperspirants and pore-clogging aluminium?
The most recent developments in the fight against BO are antiperspirants. Unlike
our natural deodorants, these work by physically
stopping us from sweating. Most antiperspirants contain ingredients which react
with protein molecules present in perspiration and swell to form a gel-like substance.
For these to be effective, it is important that their molecular size is small enough
to allow them to enter skin pores so that when they swell and turn to a gel, they
effectively block the pores and prevent sweat from being secreted, the most commonly
used ingredients in antiperspirants are Aluminium chlorohydrate and Aluminium zirconium
chlorohydrate which have been known to cause skin irritation.

Testimonials
"I rolled this on liberally then danced for 4 hours at a friend's 40th birthday
party. Astonishingly, I came out smelling of roses (or more accurately, of a faint
blend of rosemary, lavender and peppermint)."
Lucy Atkins, The Daily Telegraph
"I am absolutely thrilled and delighted with your
No Scent Gentle Control Deodorant. For a while I had been having trouble
with anti-perspirants/deodorants - getting painful spots under my arms - and was
advised to get an aluminium-free deodorant. I came across your wonderful product
and all my problems disappeared."
A. B. - Gloucester
"My sister and I went on the holiday of a life-time to Botswana. It was in the middle
of the dry season and temperatures reached 40 degrees in the shade even in the Okovango
Delta. The Kalahari was even hotter. Your marvellous deodorant kept us both sweet
smelling in extreme conditions. Well done for devising such a wonderful product."
