Basic Instinct is a natural deodorant for anyone who likes things warm, sensual, and a little mysterious. The fragrance has a seductive oriental note: elegant davana and fresh mandarin blend with the spicy character of patchouli and the honey-soft aroma of labdanum. The result is a delicate, warm scent that accompanies you throughout the day without being overpowering.
The creamy texture glides gently over your skin, leaving you with a pleasantly refreshed, dry feeling. The deodorant stick is COSMOS-certified, vegan, and dermatologically tested and consists of ingredients 100% natural origin. Of course, it contains no aluminum, baking soda, or kaolin—for natural freshness that feels really good.
Key Ingredients and Their Effects:
- Jojoba oil keeps the skin supple and leaves it feeling pleasantly soft.
- Sunflower wax and plant-based waxes give the deodorant its firm, creamy texture and make it especially gentle to apply.
- Arrowroot powder helps absorb moisture and leaves your skin feeling dry and fresh.
- Zinc oxide neutralizes odors and is particularly popular in gentle, natural skincare formulations.
- Bamboo powder and cellulose provide a powdery finish and leave the skin feeling pleasantly dry.
- Natural Essential Oil Blend featuring davana, mandarin, patchouli, and labdanum, gives Basic Instinct its warm, oriental scent.
Usage: Apply to dry underarms after showering, bathing, or whenever needed. Please use only on skin that is not irritated or broken. Let it absorb briefly before getting dressed.
A little tip from Lockenkopf: When you switch from traditional deodorants or antiperspirants to a natural deodorant, give your skin a few days to adjust. Basic Instinct is there to support you with gentle care, natural freshness, and a wonderfully warm scent.
