What is the difference between a Deodorant and an Antiperspirant?

A deodorant should contain ingredients that actually prevent, block and neutralize the bacteria that cause the odor in the first place and the odor itself. Our whole body, with the exception of our lips, produces sweat in some form or another. It's a natural and necessary function. The underarms, however, and a couple of other areas of the body, (ear canals and groin area) produce a unique type of sweat from glands called the Apocrine Glands, which are only found in these areas.

This type of  sweat only attains its characteristic odor upon being degraded by bacteria, which releases volatile odor molecules. More bacteria leads to stronger odor.

Sweating is a natural body function, but most people would prefer not to. In order to reduce or stop sweating underarms, Antiperspirants are created with specific ingredients to stop sweating. No sweat, no odor, no worries… except… that they contain ingredients that actually form a plug in the sweat glands to stop you from sweating. These ingredients are Aluminum Compounds (salts) and all Antiperspirants contain them. Our deodorant is free of aluminum compounds and addresses odor. It contains several highly effective, natural ingredients that effectively block, neutralize and eliminate (not mask) the odor. There are also other carefully chosen ingredients included in this formula that are very effective at absorbing sweat, oil and moisture without drying out the skin. Will you still sweat? Yes. But the synergistic combination of ingredients that we've chosen, works very well to keep you smelling sweet while also helping to keep you a little drier.

This Deodorant is a semi-solid water-less Balm. It has a lovely creamy feel, but yet solid enough to use in a tube. Gently massage into each underarm, rubbing too hard onto your underarm may result in too much product being applied.  Reapply as needed .
