Unlike the chemical deodorants typically sold on the market, our natural deodorants eliminate odor-causing bacteria and allow the underarm to breathe, while also protecting the skin from health-harmful components.
By allowing the underarm to transpire naturally, natural deodorants do not clog pores and enable the body to eliminate toxins and regulate its temperature properly. This is different from chemical antiperspirants, which contain compounds like aluminum salts to block pores and reduce perspiration.
In addition to managing perspiration, natural deodorants also focus on protecting the skin from health-harmful components. They avoid the use of synthetic ingredients and harsh chemicals, such as parabens, phthalates, triclosan, and artificial fragrances, which can cause skin irritation and sensitivity.
Instead, they typically use gentle, nourishing natural ingredients, such as vegetable oils, butters, and plant extracts, which help keep the skin hydrated, soft, and protected. These natural ingredients can have soothing, antioxidant, and nourishing properties, contributing to overall skin care.
It is important to keep in mind that the effectiveness of natural deodorants can vary based on individual needs and each person's specific conditions. When choosing a deodorant, it is advisable to try different options to find the one that works best for you in terms of efficacy, tolerance, and personal preference.
For this reason, at Banbu, we offer a wide range of deodorants with different application methods (you can choose between solid deodorants and cream deodorants), natural scents, and specific care for each skin type.
If you don't know where to start, here is our recommendation based on your skin type.
Deodorant for normal skin
If your skin does not usually react to cosmetics, our range of deodorants for normal skin is the simplest choice. Its main active ingredient is sodium bicarbonate, which neutralizes odor and helps absorb underarm moisture. You can choose from three scents:
- SO FRESH: citrus scent with ultra-refreshing olfactory notes.
- SO PURE: minimalist, clean-smelling fragrance. Essential oil-free and suitable for pregnancy.
- SOFT BREEZE: perfume-free and essential oil-free, for those who prefer a neutral deodorant.
Deodorant for sensitive skin
If you notice itching in your underarms, redness, or stinging after applying deodorant or shaving, what you need is a deodorant for sensitive skin. Our SILVER range is 0 aluminum, 0 alcohol, and 0 bicarbonate; it combines magnesium salts, zinc ricinoleate, and white clay with a prebiotic that helps balance the underarm microbiota, protecting against odor for up to 48 hours. It is available in three versions, in solid and cream form:
- SILVER SEA: a perfect version for those looking for a natural deodorant that takes care of sensitive skin without giving up fragrances. Its formula includes Dead Sea magnesium salts and keeps your underarms healthy and free of bad odor for hours.
- SILVER TOUCH: this intelligent formula offers you many hours of effectiveness and protection. It softens irritated skin, helps restore skin balance, and protects against odor-causing bacteria.
- SILVER BREEZE: this is the evolution of natural protection for those seeking maximum efficacy without a drop of perfume. This new-generation biological deodorant offers up to 48 hours of effectiveness, acting before bad odor appears thanks to its prebiotic action that educates the skin's microbiota. It is the perfect ally for ultra-sensitive and reactive skin, as well as for pregnant or nursing women, as it is free of aluminum, alcohol, and hormonal disruptors.
Deodorant for oily skin
If your underarms tend to accumulate more moisture and oil, the normal skin range with bicarbonate usually works very well, because the bicarbonate neutralizes odor and helps absorb moisture. SO FRESH, with its citrus scent, is a good option if you also sweat a lot or play sports. If your skin is oily but also easily irritated, opt for the SILVER range, which is bicarbonate-free.
Deodorant for dry skin
If your underarms are dry, flaky, or feel tight, avoid bicarbonate, as its alkaline pH can accentuate dryness. We recommend the SILVER range, which, according to studies of its active ingredients, provides 10.4% more hydration and reinforces the skin barrier. The cream format, such as SILVER TOUCH in cream, spreads smoothly and provides more comfort to dry skin.
Bicarbonate or magnesium: which one is right for you
The big difference between our two ranges lies in their main active ingredient:
- Sodium Bicarbonate (SO PURE, SO FRESH, and SOFT BREEZE): neutralizes odor and absorbs moisture. It is very effective for normal and oily skin, but its alkaline pH can irritate sensitive or freshly shaved underarms.
- Magnesium (SILVER TOUCH, SILVER SEA, and SILVER BREEZE): stops odor without bicarbonate, using zinc ricinoleate and a prebiotic that cares for the microbiota. This is the option for sensitive, atopic, or dry skin, and is also suitable for pregnancy and breastfeeding.
If you are pregnant, exercise heavily, or have multiple chemical sensitivity, we explain which formula to choose in each case in our guide to choosing your deodorant during pregnancy, for sports, and other situations.
How to apply your cream or solid deodorant
The application procedure for our cream deodorants is very simple. Use your hands to apply the desired amount of product. Apply it to your underarm with circular motions and wait for it to be fully absorbed. Conversely, the application of solid deodorants is like that of any conventional deodorant, and you can use our reusable applicator to make your experience more comfortable and effective.
Any of our deodorants will make you feel protected for more than 24 hours, without sweating, irritation, or bad odor.
All our deodorants are free of aluminum, parabens, and other harmful chemicals, and are vegan and cruelty-free. You can be sure that you are using natural, environmentally friendly products without compromising on quality or effectiveness.
