Cloud Natural Deo Cream

Description

Cloud Deo Cream is my unscented, aluminium free natural deodorant cream - no essential oils, nothing added for scent. Made for sensitive skin, and suitable during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

The biggest complaint I see about natural deodorant is skin irritation, which is why I spent so long balancing mine. Cloud is the gentlest version - no essential oils at all, for extra sensitive skin.

It won't stop you sweating - sweating is normal, and your body needs to do it. What it does is neutralise odour and keep you feeling fresh, while shea butter, mango butter and jojoba oil look after the delicate skin under your arms.

Made for you if...

• you want a natural deodorant without aluminium
• your skin is sensitive or reacts to fragrance and essential oils
• you're pregnant or breastfeeding
• you'd rather not smell of anything at all
• you want a deodorant you can use straight after shaving
• you've tried natural deodorants that felt dry or chalky and want a creamy one instead

Not quite you? Prefer a scent? Peach Tea and Cherry are suitable during pregnancy too, or see all my deo creams. Want the matching cream? Cloud Light Cream is unscented too.

Ingredients and what they do

• Arrowroot powder and kaolin clay - soft, absorbent powders that help you feel dry and comfortable
• Sodium bicarbonate, magnesium hydroxide and zinc ricinoleate - work together to neutralise odour
• Coconut oil, shea butter, mango butter and jojoba oil - make it creamy and care for underarm skin

A note on bicarb: some people find sodium bicarbonate irritates their underarms. I use a low amount and balance it with magnesium hydroxide and zinc ricinoleate, so the cream doesn't rely on bicarb alone. If you know your skin is sensitive to it, start with a 15g trial tin and patch test first.

Full ingredients (INCI): Maranta Arundinacea Root Powder (Arrowroot), Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Sodium Bicarbonate, Magnesium Hydroxide, Kaolin, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Mangifera Indica (Mango) Seed Butter, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Zinc Ricinoleate, Tocopherol (Vitamin E)

How to use

1. Scoop a pea-sized amount with your fingertip.
2. Warm it between your fingertips for a few seconds, until it softens.
3. Smooth it onto clean, dry underarms. A little goes a long way.

Prefer not to use your fingers? Pair it with a bamboo spatula to scoop out just what you need.

Switching from an antiperspirant? Some people find it takes a week or two for their body to settle in. Stick with it.

How long does a tin last? An 80g tin lasts around 4-6 months of daily use, and a 15g trial tin around 2-4 weeks - perfect for trying it first, or for your gym bag and travels.

Storage: keep it somewhere cool, out of direct sunlight - the natural butters soften in warm weather. Safe to use for 12 months once opened.

Suitability

• Aluminium free
• Unscented - no essential oils
• Suitable to use straight after shaving
• Contains sodium bicarbonate, in a low amount
• Suitable to use during pregnancy and breastfeeding

Patch test first, and don't apply to broken skin.

Questions

Does natural deodorant cream really work?
It neutralises odour rather than blocking sweat. You'll still sweat, which is completely normal - the cream is there to keep you smelling fresh.

Is Cloud Deo Cream completely unscented?
Yes. There are no essential oils and nothing added for scent - just the soft natural smell of the butters and oils.

Can I use it straight after shaving?
Yes. Shea butter, mango butter and jojoba oil make it gentle enough to use straight after shaving.

Which size should I buy?
The 15g trial tin to try it, then the 80g tin once you know you love it.

Is it vegan and plastic free?
Yes - vegan, cruelty free and palm oil free, in a recyclable aluminium tin.
