The following text is a direct quote from Three Hills Soap about these Deodorants as they are far better qualified to tell you about it.  I can only add that I use this product along with their shampoos and  soaps and they are just perfect for me.  They work for me re. I smell ok, they are easy to use and i have noticed any residue on clothing. Deodorant removes an unpleasant body odour by preventing the bacteria from causing the smell with a slight antiperspirant effect – thanks to added zinc oxide (without nanoparticles). However, your body can still safely get rid of the waste and all the harmful substances by sweating. It does not prevent the body from doing what is natural to it.  The coconut oil and baking soda base are a bacteria checking dynamic duo. Grains of soda bicarbonate are so tiny that they won’t cause any scratches or irritations. Mixed with the moisture-absorbing properties of arrowroot and the antimicrobial properties of the essential oils, you and your pits will never be happier feeling dry and fresh throughout the day. Light, delicately floral and with a hint of citrus fragrance underlines femininity and sensuality. The scent starts with a lovely harmony of geranium, bergamot and a hint of litsea cubeba with a middle note of lavender.  Deodorant Cream Benefits: also suitable for sensitive skin in the armpits a pleasant smell all day does not prevent the natural removal of body waste  an efficient, safe and natural barrier against unpleasant odour does not dry the skin out regenerates dry and sensitive skin in the underarm by hydrating it does not stain the clothes doesn’t leave sticky armpits Active Ingredients in Deodorant Cream:                                                    – Arrowroot Powder – moisture-absorbing properties, removing odour – Shea Butter – antibacterial and hydrating properties – Coconut Oil – antibacterial and hydrating properties – Sodium Bicarbonate – a fatty acid neutralizer responsible for odour – Zinc Oxide – antibacterial and hydrating properties – Allantoin – it comes from the comfrey root and got anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties – Bergamot Essential Oil – antibacterial, antifungal, antiseptic properties – Geranium Essential Oil – antibacterial, antifungal, antiseptic properties – Lavender Essential Oil – antibacterial, antifungal, antiseptic properties – Litsea Cubeba Essential Oil – antibacterial, antifungal, antiseptic properties How to Use the Deodorant Cream: Ok, you know the drill: use a pea size amount for both your armpits.
