How to make the switch to natural deodorant
👨🔬 Charlie Bowes-Lyon
Here at Wild, we believe that changing to a 98% natural origin deodorant shouldn’t mean having to compromise on your day-to-day routine. You want a great deodorant that’s easy to use, kind to your skin, and effective—and we have millions of customers who believe Wild does just that.
We all know that if we want to create a more sustainable future, we’re bound to come across some bumps on the way. Over the years, our bodies have become familiar with the chemicals and parabens used in ordinary deodorants. This means a small number of people find switching to natural deodorant a little tricky at first.
Don't sweat it (literally)—this is completely normal. The benefits of switching to natural deodorant are massive, but it can take a little time for your body to detoxify and acclimatize to life without aluminium
We all know that if we want to create a more sustainable future, we’re bound to come across some bumps on the way. Over the years our bodies have become familiar with the chemicals and parabens used in ordinary deodorants, which means that a very small number of our customers find switching to natural deodorants a little difficult.
Do not worry - this is completely normal! Transitioning to a natural deodorant can take a little time and requires some patience for your body to detoxify and acclimatise to using non-aluminium products.
Tips for switching to natural deodorant
If you are finding the move a bit sticky, you’ve come to the right place. Our team has put together a step-by-step action plan to help you transition to natural deodorant as easily as possible:
**Skip the swipe for a day: **Your body needs a moment to detoxify and kickstart the process of unclogging your pores.
Keep it clean: Wash your underarms thoroughly during your transition to help remove old bacteria.
Wear natural fabrics: Opt for breathable materials like cotton or linen while your skin adjusts.
Be patient: Your body has spent years with "the other guys"—give it a little time to love the natural life.
How long does it take to transition to natural deodorant
Every body is different, but most people find their "natural equilibrium" within a week. Here is what to expect during your first 7 days:
