DEO DETOX GUIDE
When switching from antiperspirant to aluminum-free deodorant, it can take some time for you body to adjust. Here's what to expect during the deo detox period.
Note that this is just a guide - your body may follow a different timeline!
WEEK1
Apply your aluminum-free deodorant to clean, dry armpits in the morning and again throughout the day as often as desired. You’re unlikely to experience much sweat or BO during Week 1.
WEEK2
You are sweating more. Your pits are purging the aluminum in your sweat glands that’s left over from antiperspirant. You may have more body odor as the odor-causing bacteria on your skin recalibrates.
WEEK3
You’ll sweat more and smell less as your body continues to adjust.
WEEK4
Odor and sweat begin to disappear as your body now relies on your aluminum-free deodorant to do its job.
PRO TIP
If you experience body odor during this period, use a cooling + Cleansing Wipe under your arms, allow the area to dry and then reapply your aluminum-free deodorant as often needed.

In general, by switching from an antiperspirant to an aluminum-free deodorant. Antiperspirant prevents you from sweating by using aluminum to plug up the pores that release sweat. Deodorant doesn’t clog your pores or prevent them from releasing sweat. Instead, a good aluminum-free deodorant will absorb sweat once it’s been released while also reducing body odor.
We use Corn Starch and Aloe as two of the main powerful, clean ingredients in our men’s aluminum-free deodorants.
- One of the best base ingredients for an aluminum-free deodorant is Corn Starch. It’s great at absorbing sweat and has a silky feeling, whereas an ingredient like Baking Soda has a powdery texture.
- Aloe helps prevent chafing and irritation as well as acts as an antibacterial, antimicrobial, and antiseptic.
Reasons to avoid baking soda-based deodorants:
- Baking soda has a higher pH level than corn starch, which can result in dryness and irritation on the skin.
- Has a powdery texture
- Absorbs sweat without clogging pores
- Corn Starch has a smooth texture.
- Has a neutral pH level
