The formula features antimicrobial shikimic acid to fight against odours, while lactic acid exfoliates to smooth skin and prevent ingrown hairs and mandelic acid brightens to prevent discolouration. All of this essentially lowers your pit pH to prevent any unwanted body odour.

The active formula made me a bit wary as I have sensitive skin, but the hyaluronic acid and aloe vera juice in the formula work to soothe and hydrate the area to avoid irritation.

One of my pet peeves with natural deodorants is they usually feel thick and take forever to dry. However, this is like a thin gel on application and takes only a few seconds to dry. You just need to give the tube a gentle squeeze and start rolling.

I tried this on a whim as winter weather was starting (colder weather meant naturally less sweating, so I took the opportunity to put a natural deodorant to the test) and have felt no desire to pick up my old aerosol deodorant since. Not only has it been able to neutralise odours effectively, but my underarm skin has been smoother and softer as a result.

If you’re a fellow natural deodorant sceptic, I seriously encourage you to take a chance on Kosas’s Chemistry Deodorant Serene Clean. You won’t regret it.
