Increasing numbers of health-conscious people are seeking natural alternatives to current personal hygiene products, and are moving away from mainstream products.
Botanicals crystal deodorant is made with natural mineral salt (potassium alum). Our deodorant bars are 100% crystal mineral, which by its large molecular structure, is unable to penetrate the cell wall, and is therefore not absorbed by the body.
The alum (mineral salt) crystal actually neutralises the bacteria which causes body odour when sweat comes into contact with the skin.
When applied to wet skin, a thin layer of the crystal is left behind. Invisible and perfume-free, it will continue to work all day, or until it's washed away.
Our roll-on deodorants are made with finely ground crystal, with an infusion of Botanicals organic flower water, glycerine and essential oils.
They contain:
- No Preservatives
- No Synthetic Perfume
- No Emulsifiers
- No Aluminium Chlorohydrate
- Are Hypoallergenic
- Won't Stain clothes
- And give effective all-day deodorant protection
Frequently asked questions
Does it really work?
Applied in the morning the crystal bar will give you 24 hour deodorant protection, even in the summer. (The roll-on deo may need to be re-applied every six to eight hours.)
How does it work?
Botanicals crystal has a natural antibacterial action. Body odour is caused by bacteria. By applying the crystal deodorant a thin unnoticeable layer is left on the skin. Odour causing bacteria are not able to thrive on those areas.
How long do they last?
It can vary, depending on size, and your personal use of the crystals, However from feedback (and our own use), we have found that on average a 120g crystal can last for approximately 1 year before they become too small for easy use. (Roll-on will last for a few months.)
Tip: Putting the remaining deodorant crystal in the fridge will prevent any strong smells.
Is it an Antiperspirant?
No. An antiperspirant prevents the natural sweating process of your body, by blocking the sweat glands. Antiperspirants most often contain Aluminium which may be potentially damaging to the human body (recent links with breast cancer - unverified).
Will I still sweat?
Your body's natural sweating action will continue, but crystal deodorant has a slight astringent (drying) effect.
Does the crystal stain my clothes?
No. The crystal deodorant does not leave any stains on your clothes.
