Our deodorants contain no harsh chemicals to block perspiration and irritate skin. Instead we use baking soda to absorb moisture and neutralize odor, and essential oils to battle bacteria. The hotter you get, the better you smell. Keep your LUSH deodorants in a dry room, not the bathroom. They contain very absorbent powder and can pick up water vapor from your shower or bath. To get the best out of them, apply to bone dry armpits.
