DO YOU SOMETIMES NEED SOME EXTRA HYDRATION?
Sensitive skin requires extra care, mild but effective hydration that penetrates deeply and lasts long. Many serums contain aggressive ingredients that can irritate or dry out your skin, while your skin needs protection and repair.
This serum provides up to 72 hours of deep hydration, strengthens your skin barrier and reduces the first signs of aging. Thanks to powerful antioxidants, it protects against external damage, while evening out your skin tone and helping to fade pigment spots. 100% natural, vegan and formulated for the most sensitive skin, so you can shine without worries.

IS IT TRUE THAT CERTAIN DEODORANTS INCREASE THE RISK OF CANCER?
For years, there have been reports circulating that the use of deodorant could cause breast cancer. These reports originate from studies by Philippa Darbre from 2004 and a recent Swiss study on mice in 2016 ( source ). In both studies, a relationship was established between breast cancer and aluminium salts, an ingredient that is often found in deodorants. In addition to these studies, there are also many international studies that prove the opposite. When we summarize the current evidence and results, we can say that aluminium does not directly cause the formation of tumours. However, the Cancer Foundation does advise not to use aluminium-containing deodorants on damaged skin (after shaving or epilation) and during pregnancy. In addition, it is advised to choose products that contain few aluminium salts.
At Self, we always choose the most gentle and safe option for our body. The All-Day Freshness Deodorant Cream is 100% natural, vegan and contains no hormone disrupting substances. With Self, you are safe, whatever the results of future studies may be.

WHY SWITCH TO A NATURAL DEO?
The deodorant in your closet is most likely full of alcohol, perfume, sulfates, and other synthetic substances. Chemicals that dry out and irritate sensitive skin, causing your body to naturally produce more sebum and sweat. In addition, regular deodorant often contains an antiperspirant based on aluminum. This substance blocks your sweat glands and narrows pores, causing you to sweat less. It dries out your armpits, so to speak, making them dry and chapped.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SELF AND OTHER DEOS?
Self products are developed from A to Z based on our own formula. We do not participate in private labelling, and we research which ingredients from Mother Nature are suitable for our product. For example, All-Day Freshness contains a mix of 100% natural ingredients that strengthen each other and we only chose scientifically proven substances with an antibacterial and nourishing effect.
To ensure that the product does what it promises, we set the number of active ingredients in the formula very high. Active ingredients, such as coconut oil, aloe vera, jojoba oil and lavender, determine the effect of the product. Many skin care brands develop products with the minimum of active ingredients, in this way you can say that coconut oil is used but will not match the effect.
HOW DOES ALL-DAY FRESHNESS KEEP YOU FROM SMELLING OF SWEAT?
Our deodorant does not contain ingredients such as parabens, alcohol and aluminium that prevent sweat production, but substances that kill odorous bacteria (antimicrobial) and mask odors.
Coconut oil contains lauric acid which has antibacterial and antifungal properties.
Eucalyptus has an anti-inflammatory effect, soothes the skin and gives a soft spicy scent.
The most frequently asked questions about serums
What exactly does a serum do?
A serum is a concentrated formula packed with active ingredients that penetrate the skin deeper than a regular cream. Depending on the ingredients, a serum can hydrate, soothe, firm or give the skin a radiance boost.
How do I apply a serum?
Use a few drops on cleansed skin and massage gently. Let it absorb for a while and then apply your day or night cream to enhance the effect.
Should I use a serum daily?
Yes, for best results use a serum every morning and/or evening.
Can I have an allergic reaction to the serum?
Yes, you can be allergic to anything, including natural ingredients. Just because an ingredient comes from nature does not mean it is necessarily good for the skin. Certain substances can irritate and damage the skin. That's why I recommend always testing new products on the inside of your elbow, so you know whether you are allergic to the product. The ingredients of SELF are macadamia, argan, shea butter, coconut oil, aloe vera and mandarin and geranium oils. All ingredients have a safe effect, but if you are allergic to one of these substances, a reaction may occur. So always test the products on your arm first.
Can I use a serum under my makeup?
Definitely! A serum is quickly absorbed and ensures that your skin stays hydrated, which is the perfect base for make-up.
