Mini Men Deodorant - Rosemary & Eucalyptus

• Does not close off your sweat glands, but neutralises sweat odour instantly.
• With zinc oxide against stress, emotional and hormonal sweat.
• The stick is made of cardboard and lasts at least 2 weeks.

This loveli deodorant without aluminium is based on coconut oil and sodium bicarbonate and more fine ingredients that are good for your skin and protect you from sweat odour. With the addition of zinc oxide, this deo also works perfectly against hormone sweat, emotion sweat and stress sweat.

This Loveli deodorant is the answer if you are looking for an aluminium-free deodorant that really works. Coconut oil cares for your skin and baking soda neutralises sweat odours. With arrowroot and shea butter for soft skin. And vitamin E as an antioxidant. 100% Natural.

The Loveli deo doesn't seal off your skin and sweat glands. This keeps you sweating to discharge waste products and regulate your body temperature. So the deo ensures you don't smell of sweat, but you continue to sweat because sweating is healthy.

Zinc oxide for extra protection against stress sweats

Stress or emotion sweat is different from sweat caused by heat. It contains more fatty acids than ordinary sweat and the bacteria on your skin love these fatty acids. They are what cause your sweat smell. Zinc oxide converts these fatty acids into odourless zinc salts before the bacteria can do their job. What makes zinc a doubly powerful weapon in the fight against sweat odour is that it is antibacterial at the same time. So there are fewer bacteria on your skin anyway that can cause sweat odour.

Baking soda neutralises odours

Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) is the ingredient that works so well against odours. But coconut oil also has a neutralising effect and arrowroot and shea butter ensure soft skin. With vitamin E as an antioxidant.

Sodium bicarbonate can have an irritating effect on sensitive skin. That is why it is combined with soothing arrowroot. Your skin may still react. There is therefore a sensitive version with less sodium bicarbonate in it and skin-caring sandalwood oil.

The packaging is made of BPA-free polypropylene (plastic). It can be recycled with the rest of your plastic waste.

Good to know about the Loveli Deos

• The mini is almost 5 cm tall and contains 6 grams of deo. You can do at least 2 weeks with a mini.
• There may be a hole in the middle of the mini. This is due to the way the mini is filled. But with this hole, it works just as well.
• This natural deodorant does not seal off your skin. So you still sweat (otherwise your body can't get rid of its waste products either), but you don't smell it.
• If you have sensitive skin quickly, your skin may react with a red rash. Immediately putting some coconut oil on it and switching to the sensitive version may be the solution. But usually you actually get nicer skin because of all the fine ingredients.
• The shea butter in the deodorant can stain your clothes. You can of course wash it out, but it is better to let the deodorant dry for a while before putting on your clothes.
• Use really very little of the deo. The deo has a high concentration of sodium bicarbonate, so you only need very little to keep smelling fresh all day. If you use too much, you will quickly go through your deo, but you also risk irritating your skin. Two strips per armpit is enough to be protected.
• The zinc oxide in the deodorant does give a bit of a white haze. This absorbs quickly, but if you have darker skin, you will continue to see the white haze for a while. It is best to let the deodorant soak in for a while before getting dressed. Then you won't get stains on your clothes.
• Zinc oxide repairs your skin in case of irritation while protecting sensitive skin
• If your body has become really addicted to the ingredients in your regular deo, at first it may seem like you are sweating worse. Your body is detoxing. Hang in there, it's worth it!
• Wait a while before using the deo after you have shaved or otherwise depilated your armpits. If you shave your armpits in the evening, you can use the deo again in the morning.
• The deo is not water soluble so you need a mild detergent to wash your armpits.
• The stick is made of cardboard. When it runs out, just throw it in the bin.

Use

If you used a deo with aluminium before, you might (temporarily) start sweating more or start smelling like sweat. For most people, this passes after a few days and you won't smell anything anymore. During this period, wash (or scrub) your armpits an extra time with a mild detergent. And hang in there! Fortunately, the detox only lasts for a short while.

• Press the bottom of the mini up a little bit before using it.
• Once a day, spread or stamp a thin layer of deo under your armpits. Make sure you always use very little of the deo.
• Let it soak in for a few minutes before putting on your clothes. Use less or smear it if you keep seeing or feeling it.

What should you pay attention to?

• Do not use if you suffer from irritated or damaged skin.
• Because of the high concentration of baking soda, you only need a small amount of the Loveli deo. If you use too much, you will quickly go through the deo and risk irritation.
• The zinc oxide in the deo can give a slight white haze under your armpits. This haze absorbs quickly. Do you still see a white haze under your armpits after a few minutes? Then you may use a little less of the deo or you can smear it extra.
• Stop using the product if you have a rash, irritation or if your skin does not react well to the product in any other way.
• When your skin has recovered after irritation, you can try the product again. Make sure you only apply a thin layer once a day. If applying less does not help, you can try the Sensitive Skin mini. This deo works slightly less strongly against sweat odours, but is gentler on sensitive skin.

*Natural Components Essential Oils

- Cocos Nucifera Oil: Coconut oil is extracted from the grated pulp of the coconut. The oil lays a protective film on the skin, keeping it well hydrated. It is a light oil that does not penetrate deeply into the skin.
- Sodium Bicarbonate: Sodium bicarbonate is the ingredient that works so well against odours. It works antibacterial which means bacteria don't have a chance to cause unpleasant odours.
- Cera Alba: Beeswax is used to give the product strength. It also helps prevent dehydration.
- Butyrospermum Parkii Butter: Shea butter is made from the nuts of the shea nut tree and is also known as 'the tree of life'. The shea tree grows in central Africa. Shea butter is moisturising and makes the skin supple and elastic. This butter is very suitable for dry, irritated and/or (eczema) sensitive skin.
- Zinc Oxide: Zinc oxide is a very versatile ingredient. It not only has an antibacterial effect, but also helps with skin irritations and hormone sweating. In addition, it is a mineral UV filter that protects you from the sun. But it can also be part pigment for your favourite lip balm. A true all-rounder! In Loveli deos, zinc oxide acts as an antibacterial ingredient and converts fatty acids to odourless zinc salts as a weapon against hormone sweat. It also has an emollient effect.
- Maranta Arundinacea Root Powder: Arrowroot in Dutch. Absorbs moisture and also helps against sweat odour.
- Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil: Sunflower oil is a good antioxidant.
- Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil: Eucalyptus essential oil has an uplifting effect. The oil reduces itching, redness and irritation and has a cooling and skin repairing effect.
- Tocopherol: Tocopherol or vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant and acts as a preservative.
- Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Oil: Rosemary essential oil has a refreshing and uplifting effect. The oil stimulates circulation, helps repair the skin and has a purifying effect. It can give the skin a healthy glow.
