WHY WE RECOMMEND USING NATURAL DEODORANTS

Deodorant creams formulated with natural ingredients do NOT contain toxic chemicals that can be harmful to our health, but instead take advantage of the natural properties of the oils they contain to care for your skin in a healthy way without harming the planet.

OUR TIPS AND ADVICE FOR USE

• Apply a small amount onto clean skin, spread out and massage gently into the skin until all the underarm area is covered. It is just as important to keep the underarm area clean as it is to apply deodorant, this will help to eliminate bacteria that can cause unwanted body odour.

• A good underarm cleaning routine can be achieved with Matarrania’s neutral fragrance-free soap and a loofah shower mitt.
• Step 1, clean: wet a shower mitt or sponge, rub with a neutral bar of soap and then wash the whole armpit area well, rinse with water and dry well straight away.
• Step 2, moisturise and protect: apply a small amount of the cream deodorant onto the clean armpit and massage in gently until absorbed by the skin.
• This cream does NOT contain artificial preservatives, and therefore it should be kept closed in a cool, dry place once open.
• Once the temperature reaches 45ºC shea butter turns into a liquid. To avoid this, keep your deodorant cream in the fridge on hot days.
• Once open, the deodorant is active and effective for up to 8 months.
• All the ingredients are harmless for your baby. The very small amount of essential oil contained in the product poses no risk.
• Products made with shea butter can cause reactions in people with latex allergies. In addition, essential oils are natural aromatic substances that have been extracted from plants and therefore contain a number of components. Some of these components are allergens, hence they can provoke allergies in some people, components such as geraniol and citral.
