Bitter Sweet is a natural deodorant for anyone who loves fresh, zesty, and slightly spicy scents. The zesty citrus notes of litsea cubeba, lemon, ginger, and a hint of apricot instantly lift your spirits—like a sunny burst of freshness to start your day.
The formula is 100% natural, COSMOS-certified, vegan, dermatologically tested and contains no aluminum, baking soda, or kaolin. The creamy texture glides gently over the skin, leaving it feeling nourished and pleasantly dry. Naturally fresh, reliable, and wonderfully simple.
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 litsea cubeba, lemon, ginger, and apricot, gives Bitter Sweet its fresh, citrusy, and slightly spicy scent.
Usage: Apply to dry underarms after showering, bathing, or simply whenever you like. Please use only on skin that is not irritated or broken. Allow it to 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. Bitter Sweet is there for you with gentle care, natural freshness, and a scent that feels like a little smile in the morning.
