Product Information

Castor seeds, from which castor oil comes, have been found in Egyptian tombs dating back to 4000 BC, and the use of castor oil has been described by Greek travellers, including Herodotos. Therefore, when using enough antiperspirants, the majority of your sweat glands will not be secreting sweat onto your skin. With nuud, smell does not stand a chance, because the bacteria, responsible for the smell, are inhibited naturally. Before I start my review of Nuud deodorant, I wanted to touch upon a few questions you might have before making the swap from a chemical-based deodorant to an all natural formula.

The question, “Does the usage of deodorants with a base of aluminium increase the chance of getting (breast) cancer? But the more I started reading about regular deodorant the more I started being convinced that I need to find an alternative. They don’t contain antibacterial chemicals such as triclosan which contaminates waterways and harms aquatic life.

The tube fits in the palm of my hand (I have small hands) What’s the difference between a deodorant and an antiperspirant? When I first started using it, I got about 3 days and needed to reapply, then it went to about 5 days, and now, I apply once a week and it works amazing.

Aside from the lid which is plastic, every other part of Nuud’s packaging is plastic-free and recyclable.I’m well aware that I am (or was) one of those hyper-sanitised people who is so used to being coated in artificial fragrances that any hint of ‘mustiness’ sets alarm bells ringing.

Nuud prevents odor by using micro silver to neutralise bacteria - but importantly, it does so without blocking your pores. Please note that nuud doesn’t ship to Martinique, Guadeloupe, Guyana, Reunion, St Martin, South-Africa and the UAE. If you are a bit unsure, start using nuud on the weekend, so that you can test it in your own, safe space, and figure out how nuud works for you. When she's not off on an adventure, she's reviewing sustainable travel products and writing travel guides.In an antiperspirant the active component (aluminium) closes off the pores, and in combination with fragrances, the smell is masked, instead of prevented. Yet, we ensure that our production methods suck up the same or more CO2 emitted by our transportation. As someone who has had ice queens for armpits for the last few years, this was something I’d almost forgotten might happen.

An antiperspirant can never stop your sweat glands from secreting all fluids, meaning that you will still be producing a sweaty smell when the bacteria convert the fluids from the apocrine glands into butyric acid.For someone that has always used an antiperspirant, it was extremely odd feeling myself sweat again. When you stop using an antiperspirant your pores will no longer be blocked, which means, that especially in the very beginning, you might perspire more than before. In addition to the ease of not having to put on deodorant as often, it also has the important benefit in that it is better for your skin because it is left more at ease. The thin layer of fluid (sweat) produced on your skin will then evaporate, which extracts heat from your body, causing your body to cool down.
