Lets talk Deodorant!

What causes odour? It is not the sweat itself, but bacteria which causes the smell. Your body is designed to sweat, that is how the body regulates temperature, so it should sweat!

At Intrinsic, we have 2 natural Deodorants which contain NO aluminium, parabens or harmful chemicals - and they are both unisex (Scent free).

Our Probiotic Deodorant has, as the name denotes, Probiotics which fight the bacteria on the surface of the skin. Our Natural Unisex Deodorant is a little bit milder, aimed more at those who don't necessarily have a strenuous/active lifestyle or an odour issue. Both of these products contain Arrowroot powder which is great for absorbing moisture, and Tea Tree oil, which is antibacterial. With much publicity on the possible harms of Deodorants and Antiperspirants, you do have choices.

I'm sure my child will be mortified to know I wrote this, but he was graced with the smelliest feet I have ever encountered - I can't walk past his shoe rack without wanting to gag ... he had a job interview last week, so I suggested he use the Probiotic Deodorant under his feet and see if it worked. At 5pm on said day, he whipped his socks off and stuck them under my nose and said 'Smell these' with a huge grin. It's the first time since puberty that his socks haven't been worthy of the bin!
