The quick answer is that antiperspirants and natural deodorants work differently. 

Are you looking for an antiperspirant product that will help you stop sweat or do you simply want to get rid of body odour? 

Antiperspirants work to stop sweat by blocking your sweat glands while natural deodorants work to stop body odour by targeting the odour-causing bacteria on your skin.

Traditionally antiperspirant deodorants are a popular choice as many people believe sweat smells. Truth is, sweat doesn't actually smell. It only stinks when bacteria come in contact with sweat.

Sweating helps your body cool down and prevents it from overheating. Plus, there’s nothing like that post-sweaty workout high.

If you’re just looking to stop body odour, go for MOOD Deodorant which focuses on keeping the odour-causing bacteria at bay. That way, you’ll enjoy all the healthy benefits of sweating without the smell!

Darkened underarms happen when your skin is irritated. 

Many store-bought antiperspirant products contain common irritants like aluminum, fragrances, and alcohol. Most natural deodorants also use baking soda, which is also known to irritate the skin. 

Avoiding these ingredients would be the first step to avoiding darkened armpits. 

Free from synthetic chemicals and baking soda, MOOD is gentle and non-irritating to the skin. Many customers have noticed smoother or even whiter underarms after using our MOOD deodorant. 

We do recommend avoiding the use of whitening products together with MOOD natural deodorant vegan. Their formula works differently, and when used together, may cause skin irritation.

MOOD natural deodorant vegan is unisex and works well for everybody. Let your heart and nose be your guide!

We have noticed that most men and boys prefer mint, citrus and woody scents like HERO, BLISS, and ZEN, or even the neutral aroma of COCONUT. Our floral scented SPRING is most popular among women and girls, closely followed by BLISS and COCONUT.

The “best before” date for our MOOD deodorants is 2 years from the manufacture date. 

You can find this information printed on the bottom of your MOOD deodorant. 

Once you open your deodorant, we would suggest replacing it every 6-12 months for the best results. We do not use alcohol or synthetic fragrance in MOOD, which means the natural aroma may deteriorate after you opened or use your deodorant. 

Storing MOOD in a cool cupboard can extend its shelf life. For any unopened deodorant, store it in an airtight container to help keep it fresh. There's no need to keep it in the fridge. 

Do keep your deodorant away from the hot sun. MOOD Deodorant will start to soften at 40℃ and melt at 53℃. 

If the expiry date has already rubbed off and you can’t remember how long ago you purchased it, we recommend checking the following: 

- is it starting to crumble? 

- has the colour changed? 

- is it starting to dry up? 

- has the scent changed?

 If the answer to any of the above questions is yes, best to order a new MOOD and bury the old one in your garden or compost bin.
