You have to understand that you don’t just have one type of bacteria on your body; the diversity of bacteria can be compared to the diversity of plants and animals in a tropical rainforest. Coupled with testimonies confirming the sustainability of the product, complete with its bioplastic sugar cane tube, my wannabe activist was stirred. Micro silver, unlike some forms of aluminum, is simply too large to penetrate the skin and so can’t enter your body.

Another great thing about nuud: you can shower, wash, bathe and it has no impact on its effectiveness. For example, you can start applying every other day and then extend this to however long works for you! Eccrine sweat glands can be found all over your body, but during puberty you develop apocrine sweat glands in your armpits too. It takes up almost no space so I can throw it into my hand luggage and top up my coverage on the go.Nuud prevents odor by using micro silver to neutralise bacteria - but importantly, it does so without blocking your pores.

Of course, this is far from ideal and definitely made me rethink whether aggressively blocking my armpits with super strength antiperspirant was healthy. I can completely relate to this, I nearly did give up on it as the transition is hard when you are normally a hardcore antiperspirant user.With claims of only needing to be used every 2-7 days and not having to reapply after showing I was super excited to give it a go. I hated the feeling of talcum after using regular deodorants, that would just not go away after several showers! Nuud definitely is up there with some of the best natural deodorants I’ve tried – and it’s certainly one of the most reliable!
