Deodorants

What is the difference between deodorant and antiperspirant?

Deodorant neutralises odour-causing bacteria, while antiperspirant blocks sweat by closing pores. Natural deodorants like those from Salt & Stone and Corpus target odour while allowing the body to perspire naturally and healthily.

How effective are natural deodorants?

Modern natural deodorants are equally effective as conventional ones. Salt & Stone uses probiotics and baking soda, while Corpus relies on enzymes that neutralise bacteria. Both offer protection for 12+ hours of reliable freshness.

How do I apply stick deodorant correctly?

Apply 2-3 swipes to clean, dry skin. Avoid applying immediately after shaving as it may cause irritation. For best results, apply in the morning after showering and allow to dry before dressing.

Which deodorant suits sensitive skin?

For sensitive skin, Corpus and Salt & Stone offer baking soda-free formulas. Taylor of Old Bond Street (from €22) uses a gentle British heritage formula. Avoid deodorants with alcohol and artificial fragrances for minimal irritation.

How long does a deodorant stick last?

A 75-90g deodorant stick typically lasts 2-3 months with daily use. Natural deodorants cost €19-€42, but the quality of ingredients and long lifespan make them economical in practice.

Why avoid aluminium in deodorants?

Aluminium closes sweat glands, preventing natural detoxification. Many prefer aluminium-free alternatives for wellness reasons. Brands like Salt & Stone and Corpus prove that effectiveness does not require compromises on ingredients.
