Natural Deodorant - Is It An Eco-Step Too Far?

With so many commercial producers relying heavily on aluminium, artificial additives, palm oil, plastics, detergents and preservatives, what’s different about our Cosy Cottage products and how do they work? After all, with deodorant, none of us want to take any risks!

Welcome to the next in our series of blogs going into more detail about why our Cosy Cottage products are different and how they work.

Back to Basics - Will Natural Deodorant do the job?

Our natural deodorants follows a different approach to traditional antiperspirants and deodorants. Instead of forcing our bodies into sweat-free submission and covering up smells with even stronger, synthetic smells, our original natural deodorants work with your body and natural processes, to eliminate odour. Our gentle, natural, essential oil fragrances, made from steam distilled fruit and flowers, are the icing on the cake.

First things first; our natural deodorants are not designed to stop perspiration; one of our bodies’ important, natural processes to regulate temperature and eliminate toxins. Interestingly though, people who have been using our natural deodorants for several months have reported that they have noticed a reduction in excessive perspiration.

Instead, our products, use natural, simple ingredients to create slightly alkaline conditions under the arms, which discourage the growth of the bacteria which cause underarm odour. They smooth and nourish underarm skin too. No need for potentially cancer inducing aluminium, weapons-grade fragrances nor antiperspirants, suppressing natural processes; just a luxurious blend of soothing butters, essential oils, gentle alkaline agents and vitamin E.

We offer three types of deodorant in a range of four glorious, natural fragrances; our original formulation, containing bicarbonate of soda, in both a cream and a solid glide-on format, and our bicarbonate free version which is suitable for customers whose underarms are sensitive to bicarbonate of soda.     

The formulation of all our natural deodorants is coconut oil based and water-free which means that preservatives such as parabens, which have been cited in some studies to contribute to  endocrine disruption, are not required. Read our blog here for more about parabens

The feedback from our customers about our natural deodorant speaks for itself. Since the launch of our original formulation in 2019, it’s become our most popular product with a wealth of positive feedback from customers of all ages and genders.
