" I'd like to switch to a natural deodorant, but... does it actually work? "
A question we often hear. Because honestly? Many people are skeptical. We're so used to classic deodorants that promise 72 hours of protection and instant dryness that it takes some getting used to a product that takes a different approach. But let us reassure you: natural deodorant really does work. And we're happy to explain why—and what you can expect during the menopause.
We all have our preferences when it comes to deodorant. But more and more people are consciously switching to a natural alternative . And that's good news for your skin and your health.
However, we sometimes hear from clients that they need a little adjustment period. And that's perfectly normal. Your skin has been used to harsh ingredients like aluminum salts or synthetic fragrances for years—so give it some time to get used to a gentler routine.
OurAll Day Freshness Deodorant Cream is made with 100% natural ingredients like coconut oil and shea butter. Coconut oil is naturally antibacterial and helps prevent odors without blocking your pores. Instead of suppressing sweat, at Self we tackle the root cause of odor: bacteria.
In addition, our deodorant is:
— Free from aluminum, alcohol, synthetic perfume and baking soda
— Gentle enough for even the most sensitive skin
— Completely vegan and made in Belgium
Detox phase | After years of conventional deodorant residue buildup (like aluminum), your armpits sometimes need some time to breathe freely. During those first few weeks, you might notice a little more sweat or a slightly faster odor buildup. Give it at least two weeks.
Less is more | Our deodorant is concentrated. You only need a small amount. Apply a small amount with dry fingers and massage in gently.
Listen to your skin | Natural deodorant isn't a quick fix—it's a different way to care for your body. Not a perfume mask, but a gentle, healthy solution for every day.
Yes! Once your skin has adjusted, you'll notice that the natural ingredients provide just as much protection against unwanted odors. Many customers even find they need less deodorant over time.
Thinking of making the switch? Start at a quiet time, like a weekend or a vacation, and give your skin time to adjust.
You will notice: your body knows exactly what to do, as long as you give it space.
