At Banbu, we believe in natural beauty and the power of the ingredients Mother Nature provides us. That's why, if you're looking for an aluminum-free and toxin-free deodorant, you've come to the right place. Our deodorants are carefully formulated with organic ingredients and free from harsh chemicals.
Baking soda, cornstarch, or essential oils are just some of the components we use to offer you effective and gentle protection all day long.
How do our natural deodorants work?
- Baking soda neutralizes odors
-
Cornstarch and other absorbent powders keep your skin fresh and dry.
The result? Long-lasting protection without compromising the health of your skin or the environment.
I know it can be intimidating to take the plunge and buy an eco-friendly deodorant, especially when it's something so personal. But let me tell you that thousands of people have already experienced the Banbu difference. Our deodorants are not only effective, but they are also a conscious and responsible choice for your health and the planet.
It's true that choosing the right deodorant can be complicated, as each skin is unique and has different needs. That's why I want to share a small guide with you to help you choose the perfect deodorant for you.
At Banbu, we offer two main lines of deodorants: one for sensitive skin and one for normal skin.
Normal Skin: The power of baking soda
Our line of deodorants with baking soda is created for normal skin. Baking soda acts as a deodorizing and antibacterial agent. This natural ingredient helps neutralize odors and maintain freshness throughout the day.
Within this range, you will find three options with the same effective formula, but with unique scents:
-
So Pure: Ylang-ylang flower and cotton flower.
-
So Fresh: Lime, citral, and rosemary.
-
Soft Breeze: Fragrance-free (perfect if you're looking for something neutral).
How does baking soda work on our skin?
Baking soda creates a layer in the armpits that acts as a kind of buffer due to its crystalline structure, thus blocking the bacteria that develop in the area. This is because it reacts with the fats produced there, creating crystals, preventing odor thanks to its acidic pH of 8.5. That is, one of the powerful properties of baking soda is that it neutralizes odor, which is why it becomes a potent abrasive. Therefore, this range of deodorants is ideal for normal or oily skin, but not for sensitive skin.
Another of its effective properties is the absorption of moisture produced in the area, making the skin dry. Its function goes far beyond the aesthetic of not sweating, because due to humidity it is easy for bacteria to develop, and with it, bad odor. That's why baking soda is the best alternative to the toxins found in almost all deodorants' formulas, which only have artificial fragrances that mask bad odor.
Sensitive Skin: The power of Magnesium
On the other hand, our line of deodorants for sensitive skin includes a key active ingredient: Dead Sea magnesium salts. Magnesium salts help absorb moisture and keep skin fresh and dry.
In this category, you will find Silver Sea, Silver Touch, Silver Breeze deodorants which provide long-lasting protection and a feeling of freshness all day.
Benefits of Dead Sea salts
- Natural moisture absorption naturally keeping the skin dry.
- Neutralizing the bacteria that cause bad odors in the armpits.
- Antibacterial and soothing: Along with magnesium, also with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, it reduces the multiplicity of bacteria that cause it while soothing irritation in the area.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
At Banbu, we always apply the precautionary principle, especially when it comes to the health of expectant and breastfeeding mothers. Therefore, our deodorants are suitable for pregnant and breastfeeding women. They do not contain essential oils, as these can be too potent during this delicate period.
Essential oils are highly concentrated compounds extracted from plants that contain various medicinal and aromatic properties. Although they can be beneficial in many circumstances, during pregnancy and breastfeeding, caution is recommended when using them, and their use is even discouraged in some cases.
Within this category of essential oil-free deodorants suitable for pregnancy and breastfeeding, you will find:
Normal skin range: So Pure Deodorant and Soft Breeze, So Fresh
Sensitive skin range: Silver Touch, Silver Sea, Silver Breeze
Deodorant for children
It is important that the deodorant is gentle and safe for their skin, avoiding potentially harmful or irritating ingredients. In this case, we opt for the most hypoallergenic deodorants, free of allergens in their formulation, and with a silky texture indicated for the most sensitive skin.
If I had to choose the first natural deodorant for children, I would opt for:
Silver Touch and Silver Sea: Dead Sea salts neutralize odor, leaving the armpit fresh and cared for. With a natural allergen-free fragrance.
Deodorants for People with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS)
For those who suffer from Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS), a condition that makes people extremely sensitive to certain chemicals and fragrances, finding a safe and effective deodorant can be even more challenging. Our deodorants for people with MCS are designed with hypoallergenic and gentle ingredients that minimize the risk of irritation or sensitivity.
- Normal skin range: Deodorant Soft Breeze, formulated with gentle and natural fragrance-free ingredients that provide effective protection without compromising the delicate skin of people with MCS.
- Sensitive skin range: our deodorants Silver Touch and Silver Sea offer gentle and long-lasting protection without irritating ingredients.
Deodorant for athletes
If you engage in intense exercise and are looking for a natural deodorant for athletes that is an effective natural deodorant for heavy sweating, we have two options that work differently depending on your body:
- So Fresh offers revitalizing freshness with its formulation of baking soda and essential oils, which neutralize odors and keep skin fresh even during the most active moments.
- Silver Touch/Sea/Breeze provides long-lasting protection against odor and moisture, perfect for facing the challenges of intense training and sports competitions. These deodorants are completely distinct; depending on the person, one or the other will be more effective.
Natural deodorant for the undecided
We know that choosing blindly is complicated, which is why we have created a kit with our deodorants so you can try them all and choose the one you like best. What is clear is that you will fall in love with them, so you will know that not only one suits you, but that you can change deodorants and fragrances without sacrificing 24 hours of protection and the softness of your armpit without humidity. In the Basic Essentials Kit you have 5 mini sizes of deodorants:
