Pregnancy Safety FAQ

The formula does not contain retinoids or hydroquinone, but it does contain Kojic Acid, Niacinamide and a Vitamin C derivative, along with fragrance ingredients.

Important Note

This is an aluminum-free deodorant, so it should not be expected to prevent sweating in the same way as an aluminum-based antiperspirant.

Do not apply immediately after shaving, waxing or laser treatment. A mild tingling or warming sensation can occur if applied to freshly irritated skin. Discontinue use if irritation persists.

Cosmetic formulas can change, so the ingredient list printed on the actual product packaging should always be treated as the final reference.
