If you're thinking about switching from artificial antiperspirants to a more natural alternative, you're not alone.
Deodorants made with naturally active ingredients, like the MÜHLE ESSENTIALS Herbal Lemon Deo Cream, have been gaining popularity—and for good reason. Formulated without heavy metals or alcohol, these products offer effective sweat and odour control without the nasties. But what are the real benefits of going natural?
In this guide, we delve into the world of natural deodorants, exploring how they differ from antiperspirants, the key benefits of aluminium-free formulas, and how to use them.
What Are the Differences Between Antiperspirant and Deodorant?
Deodorants are designed to neutralize body odour caused by bacteria on the skin, often using naturally active ingredients and pleasant fragrances, but they don’t prevent sweating itself. In contrast, antiperspirants are formulated to reduce or stop sweating by blocking the sweat glands with ingredients like aluminium compounds. While antiperspirants provide a dry feeling by minimizing moisture, deodorants allow the body to sweat naturally, focusing on preventing odour without interfering with the body's natural cooling process.
Why Choose Natural Deodorant?
Traditional antiperspirants can contain synthetic chemicals and aluminium, which some studies have raised concerns about regarding long-term health. Natural deodorants are free from aluminium and harsh chemicals, making them a gentler option for your skin. They work by neutralizing odour naturally while allowing your body to sweat as it should, supporting your skin's natural functions without clogging pores.
Introducing the ESSENTIALS Herbal Lemon Deo Cream
With its refreshing citrus scent, the ESSENTIALS Herbal Lemon Deo Cream is designed to keep you feeling fresh, even on your longest days. Formulated with Sodium Bicarbonate, this deodorant effectively neutralizes sweat acids, making it harder for odour-causing bacteria to thrive. Sustainably packaged, it features a unique blend of natural fragrances, combining the invigorating notes of cypress, vetiver, and hints of cardamom for a delightful, long-lasting aroma.
How Do I Use It?
Take a small amount of the cream—about the size of a pea—and warm it between your fingers. Gently apply it to your underarms in a thin, even layer. The cream absorbs quickly, leaving a smooth, non-greasy finish without leaving any marks on your clothing.
