Fresh Cream Deodorant - Lemon Myrtle

• An aluminium-free, roll-on, natural deodorant
• Free of aluminium due to our concerns about aluminium in antiperspirants
• Slightly alkaline formula prevents odour causing bacteria from growing
• Free from over-powering essential oils that mask odour and can cause irritation
• Made with Milk of Magnesia and a light, fresh Lemon Myrtle scent
• Naturally preserved with Hops Extract – free of Parabens and Phenoxyethanol

Most antiperspirants work by clogging pores with Aluminium salts. Aluminium in our armpits? No thanks. We feel that aluminium belongs in our roofs, not under our arms! Our formula works by allowing perspiration (which is odourless) and controlling odour causing bacteria. No bacteria, no smell.

We are proud of developing this unique formula in Australia. Bottled in a 60ml roll-on to make it easy to apply. We hope you enjoy the peace of mind doing something healthy for your body brings.

Do natural deodorants work?

The confusion here seems to be endless. The answer is, well it depends. In comparison to antiperspirant products, which just like the name implies are anti-perspiration, then no, ours doesn’t work. The reason for this is because it’s a deodorant, which means it deodorises. No natural deodorant is an antiperspirant because ingredients that stop you from sweating by clogging your sweat glands contain aluminum, and putting aluminum under your arms isn’t exactly the most natural thing in the world.

Whether a crystal, a paste, or a roll-on like ours, the effectiveness of a deodorant is how well it controls your smelliness. Specifically, we use an alkaline formula to control odour-causing bacteria from throwing a party (no bacteria = no smell), but others like to use essential oils. We’re just not that into smelling like a Tea Tree Forest, and essentials oils can sometimes sting the delicate, thin skin of the armpit. You will still sweat – a natural process, and one we prefer not to mess with.

What’s the deal with switching to natural deodorants?

We often hear from customers who start using our natural deodorant after a long history of antiperspirant use. After a few days, some of them get in touch concerned that our deodorant doesn’t work for them, but mostly they’re just not used to sweating at all and think it’s not working. Some of them even let us know that they became really smelly. While this sounds bad, it’s actually a good thing! It means that your sweat glands are starting to detoxify themselves after being clogged up for so many years. Hallelujah! We found that there is a transition period of about 2 weeks as the body adjusts to the glorious new freedom of natural deodorant. We found that using our Gentle Exfoliating Micro Powder as an ‘armpit mask’ a couple of times a week helps with this detoxification. Simply mix water with the powder to form a paste, apply to underarms and wait 5 mins before hopping in the shower.

What happened to your original Fresh Cream Deodorant?

When adding more scent options to our Fresh Cream Deodorant range, we added a notation of the scent ‘flavour’ to the front of the bottles. For our original Fresh Cream Deodorant, we added the scent name to the label to make sure everyone would know what it is since it’s not the only choice anymore. The scent of our original Fresh Cream Deodorant is Lemon Myrtle! Nothing has changed about the formula, so no worries there. It’s still the original, effective formula you know and love, and still in the pretty blue-green colour. Who doesn’t love a makeover!?

Is this product made of milk?

We aren’t called MooGoo because our products are made with milk. If you think about it, putting any meaningful amount of fresh milk into a cream and then putting it on a shelf in a store for a while would not end well – yuck! We do use ethically and sustainably sourced Milk Protein from a credible Australian supplier in a some of our skincare products because research has found that it helps to increase skin elasticity by up to 20%.

If you want to know more about the Milk Protein we use, check out the General section on our FAQ page for more detailed information.

My new roller-ball is stuck and won't spin - is this normal?

When you first receive a roll-on product, sometimes you may notice the roller boll is a little stiff or won't move at all. This often happens because of the very cold temperatures our products are either stored in or transported in. Air freight containers can get below 0 degrees sometimes! Getting your roller ball working is easy: simply run the top of your product (with the roller ball) under very warm water. This will loosen the ball and get things 'rolling' again.

If you live in a place with fluctuating temperatures or just very cold winters, you may have to do this every so often!
