The right deodorant active ingredients to take care of armpits

Body care

Applying deodorant is the quick gesture of every beauty routine! But it is also the friend that we call for help to stay confident before a date or after a stressful, exhausting moment like a physical effort.

Deodorant is the one to keep on hand at all times of the day! It must avoid bad smells, but its effectiveness does not stop there...

Like all other parts of the body, the skin of the armpits is an area of the body that needs to be hydrated, soothed and protected. In some situations, the skin of the armpits can be put to the test. Their comfort is then disturbed! This is why, in recent years, some deodorants go beyond the simple notion of efficiency by emphasizing respect for the skin.

BUT HOW TO TAKE CARE OF IT?

The growing demand for natural formulas is increasing, even on the deodorant market. New active ingredients with greener profiles are therefore emerging, but it is not always easy to obtain optimal efficiency.

Curing hyperpigmentation improves self-confidence

Armpit hyperpigmentation can be a insignificant phenomenon but for some people, it is a source of lack of self-confidence. Its origin can be multiple. It can be explained by a genetic criteria, the result of a disease or be due to an induced inflammatory reaction. It can sometimes happen, because of irritation due to shaving or because of the presence of an allergenic ingredient in the formula (perfume, alcohol, etc.). This is called post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Extracted from two seaweeds, it is the skin lightener and sublimer which intervenes in the regulation of pigmentation mechanisms. Indeed, it has proven benefits on both asian and caucasian skin.

Taking care of your microbiota restores skin harmony

The skin of the armpits is, like all the skin of the body, populated by different microorganisms. Healthy skin has a healthy and balanced skin microbiota. This is why, in the case where the bad bacterias are in excess, they are sources of nuisance. Indeed, they can bring bad odors and can be the cause of sensitive or even irritated skin. It is therefore essential to maintain this harmony.

EQUIBIOME™ is sourced at the core of the roots of Great Burdock (Arctium lappa) with a non-destructive process using aeroponic culture. Therefore, it offers a unique composition with higher content of rare root metabolites than classical root extracts.

On top of that, it guarantees benefits on skin protection and microbiota equilibrium. It supports the skin-microbiota interactions while ensuring the control of microbiota biodiversity and protection of the skin integrity.
