Active Deodorant

SKU: PER-008
  • Our best-selling deodorant
  • Fresh, clean all-natural Signature scent
  • Actually works, unlike most natural deodorants

Now one of our top-five selling products, this natural deodorant took off like a rocket and continues to grow faster than we can keep up. The reason is that it's hard to find a natural deodorant that works. This one does. More than that, it smells subtly fresh, clean and sexy because it contains our custom Signature blend of lavender, peppermint and rosemary essential oils. These oils are tailor-made to neutralize odor naturally, and are assisted by the witch hazel hydrosol, hops and natural grain alcohol in the formula. That's it--four all-natural ingredients do the job.

In case you're wondering about the difference between a deodorant and an anti-perspirant, they do different things. Deodorants like ours use natural ingredients to kill bacteria that cause odor, while anti-perspirants use chemicals, always including some form of aluminum, to plug up your pores so you can't sweat. The American medical establishment, including the FDA, does not consider anti-perspirants to be a danger although they are regulated and labeled as drugs and the manufacturers warn anyone with kidney disease against using them.

The problem with most natural deodorants, and you'll know it if you've tried a few, is they aren't effective. Either they smell horrible right out of the bottle, or you do after wearing them a few hours. They also tend to be very wet going on, so our favorite thing about this one, aside from the subtle signature scent, is that after applying 2 sprays under each arm we're dry within ten to fifteen seconds.

A deodorant's job is to neutralize the bacteria that cause odor. Nancy Boy Active Deodorant addresses the problem with a multi-pronged approach. First, the essential oils in our signature blend are purpose-grown for natural odor prevention. Lavender is antiseptic, peppermint is anti-microbial and rosemary is anti-fungal and anti-microbial. Next, nothing is better than alcohol at keeping skin clean and sanitized -- that's why it's swabbed on just prior to surgery -- but the natural grain alcohol we use is much gentler on the skin than common isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol. And the very reason we avoid it in other skincare products -- that it dries the skin -- makes it ideal in a deodorant. Steam-distilled witch hazel extracts tighten pores, kill odor and soothe inflammation. The formulation is finished off with hops, another of nature's potent odor neutralizers.

2.7oz/80 ml

Usage Instructions

Apply 2-3 sprays under dry arms as needed. A word of caution: As described above, this formula works through the combination of several key active ingredients. After first applying it, you will feel a tingle which will intensify for several minutes, then dissipate. Don't apply to just-shaved skin because it will sting like a mother. I

Ingredients

Natural grain alcohol, essential oil, witch hazel hydrosol, hops.
