A feeling of freshness is priceless, and doubly so on hot summer days. Sweating is completely natural, though it can feel less than pleasant when an unwelcome odour comes with it. Is there something truly natural that can help us with this? On the market you will find a great many kinds of deodorant, from roll-ons to creams, in all sorts of textures and scents. Are you still looking for the right one? Let us look together today at the benefits and the main reasons for using natural deodorants. Once you try them, you may well not want anything else.
1. Natural composition
The main reason for using natural deodorants is their composition. A deodorant labelled as natural should truly have a purely natural composition. That means it should not harm the body in any way, nor suppress its natural ability to release what it does not need. Its composition certainly should not include aluminium, which is a frequent part of many deodorants to strengthen their effect, but aluminium salts block perspiration by closing the pores. That is very unnatural for the body, as it does not let it release what it wants to and over the long term many women prefer to avoid it. Aluminium is just one of the ingredients that really should not appear in products described as natural. Then there are parabens, preservatives and synthetic fragrances, which can even bring on allergic reactions on the skin.
Natural deodorants, on the other hand, let the body release what it does not need, soften body odour and above all help keep bacteria from multiplying in perspiration. Our natural deodorants, with the fitting name Dejko, contain zinc without nano particles, which helps keep bacteria from multiplying, as well as corn starch, which keeps odour at bay beautifully. And that is what it is all about, is it not?
2. Natural scents
Besides a composition that is kind to you, quality natural deodorants contain extracts of herbs, flowers, aloe vera and essential oils, which together create original scents. Essential oils are made by distillation in water or steam and are wonderfully rich in fragrance, and they are treasured in aromatherapy for the comfort they bring. Some are also traditionally valued for their soothing and cleansing qualities, which is why we have used them in our deodorants. Dejko fresh is truly special for its fresh scent, which suits all age groups. The essential oil Litsea cubeba brings to mind a blend of lemon and orange and is traditionally valued for its cleansing and deodorising qualities, so it is made for this very purpose.
Lavender with sage is another scent you can choose among our natural deodorants, the Dejkos. Lavender oil is one of the best known of all oils for its calming qualities and together with sage, which is traditionally valued for keeping perspiration and odour gently in check, they create a deodorant that is exceptional not only in scent.
We have not forgotten the gentlemen either, and for them there is Dejko for men, with its characteristic scent of cedarwood and bergamot. Bergamot is a king among essential oils, traditionally valued for skin that feels irritated. Together with the scent of cedarwood and the other ingredients, regular use will certainly bring a result they will be happy with.
3. Application
As with everything, when it comes to natural deodorants everyone has a choice. Which suits you better - a cream or a solid natural deodorant? Both have their charms.
A cream deodorant is applied with your fingers under the arm and has a creamier texture, it keeps odour gently in check and suits sensitive skin too. The scents of cream deodorants are lovely and their composition lets the body release naturally what it does not need, while also moisturising the skin.
A solid deodorant works with a twist-up mechanism, which some may find more practical. It keeps the odour-causing bacteria in check and softens the skin, while still not standing in the way of the body's natural release. And importantly, it contains no bicarbonate of soda (an ingredient many people find irritating).
This recipe is completely different from classic solid deodorants when it comes to composition. The deodorant contains an ingredient valued for its antimicrobial qualities and 24-hour effectiveness, and it does not feel greasy. Oat silk meets the highest quality criteria, which is why it suits even the most sensitive skin. It takes away excess sebum without drying or upsetting the skin further.
