Deo Detox Guide: 3 Tips for Switching to Aluminum-Free Deodorant

New to aluminum-free deodorant? You may notice you're a little smellier and sweatier than usual. That's normal! Here's what to expect when transitioning from traditional antiperspirant to aluminum-free deodorant.

Deodorant Does Not Stop Sweat

This deodorant doesn't contain aluminum, the ingredient in traditional antiperspirants that blocks sweat ducts to prevent sweating.

This means that you'll still sweat while wearing deodorant! It's a normal, healthy process for our bodies.

Sweat on its own doesn't have an odor. It's the bacteria that grows in sweaty environments that produces a smell. Our deodorant is enriched with probiotics to neutralize odors, so you can sweat and smell good while doing it!

Two Week Transition

When you switch over to deodorant, your body begins to flush out what mainstream antiperspirants were locking in, allowing your body to reset to its own rhythm.

This "deo detox" typically lasts between two and four weeks. After this time period, you'll start to experience the best results from your deodorant.

Stick With It

When you're in the thick of transitioning, you may be tempted to switch back to your tried and true antiperspirant, but don't give up! Give your body time to detox and it will sweat less (and smell less) as it gets used to its new environment.
