Proverb has 3 levels of deodorant. We have made skincare for years so this is our sweet spot - formulation. Most natural deodorants are made with Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate). It works brilliantly, most brands use just it, BUT... some people are irritated by it, as it is alkaline, and skin is acidic. We have a complex of 4 natural deodorisers as we didn't want to be based just on this. Our game was to make sure it worked against Sure/ Mitchum, as opposed to other natural deodorants. What goes in: Candelilla wax. carnauba wax, bayberry wax, tapioca, cornflower, arrowroot, chia and broccoli seed oil, essential oil and natural hydrosol blends Apply once a day, to both armpits. We would suggest you glide it lightly up and down no more than 4 times, a little goes a long way. As a rule, people tend to try and use too much, remember less can be more!

Whereas the natural deodorisers and sweat absorbers used are: Tapioca, Cornflower, Sodium Bicarbonate/ baking soda (only in the Active versions), Magnesium, plus an additional deodoriser that Proverb keeps secret as it is different to their competitors. In the Core & Sensitive deodorant ranges, there is no sodium bicarbonate. In the Sensitive deodorant arrowroot swaps in instead of cornflower. In June 2021, Wild launched three sensitive options without baking soda, yet, these still contain fragrance. Although baking soda free options are always welcomed by consumers, those with extra-sensitive skin may continue to react as people can still be allergic to fragrances. SENSITIVE & UNFRAGRANCED caprylic/capric triglyceride, manihot utilissima (arrowroot) root fiber, tapioca starch, magnesium hydroxide, acetylatyed glyceryl stearate/palmitate, ozokerite, euphorbia cerifera (candelilla) wax, magnesium carbonate hydroxide, copernicia cerifera (carnauba) wax, glyceryl caprylate, stearic acid, myrica cerifera (bayberry) fruit wax, brassica oleracea italica (broccoli) seed oil, salvia hispanica (chia) seed oil. The problem is, there has been much medical discussions about Aluminium having potentially harmful risks on your health, especially as it is being sprayed into a lymph node filled armpit. It been linked heavily to endocrine disruption and breast cancer, with many oncology departments telling you to avoid it. Surely that is something we shouldn’t use every day, even if it does work very well? What do you think? #aluminiumfree Fussy does not have different levels of sensitivity currently. They do offer an unscented version, which is great for those who may react to fragrances, but only in their main formulation (which contains sodium bicarbonate) so not ideal on very sensitive skins.Proverb is based in Derbyshire, UK with their formulation process being housed in a lab in Cambridge, UK. Their formulas are all vegan and free from Aluminium, petroleums, parabens, SLS, artificial fragrance, propylene glycol, propylene gases Animal testing GM ingredients and gluten-free .

There are three refills ‘scents’ to choose from: Wild Mint & Eucalyptus, Coconut & Tonka and Unscented. Similarly to Wild, Proverb’s natural deodorant is based around an oil and powder formulation, but their oil elements differ, coming from Carnauba wax, Candillia wax, Bayberry wax, Chia seed oil and Broccoli seed oil.

A kitchen staple but also a natural, safe alternative to absorbing moisture that gets trapped on the skin. Used in all our core range of deodorants but not the sensitive ones where we use Arrowroot instead. No aerosol gases/propellants – fine mists that are easily inhaled and can fall onto the skin. Risk irritating allergies, asthma and still not environmentally ideal. Proverb deodorant is gentle enough for young skin but formulated to deal with pre-and teen body odour as their eccrine sweat glands develop. Confidence with body odour is crucial while you are at school. We are so excited about introducing them to a world where they avoid controversial chemicals and save single use plastic. We wish those options had been available to us when we were teens. It is time to better for the younger generation. Gently unwrap the refill from the bottom and carefully peel the paper off. Do not remove the wheel from the base of your new deodorant refill, you need this to fit it into your case Proverb deodorant is made only with ingredients (link to full ingredient list) derived from nature. We approach our formulas like we would a Nutribullet smoothie and how we did our professional athlete diet sheets for all those years.
