Neutrant Duo — Men + Women Cream Deodorant

Two tubes for $29. Bought separately they're $37.98 — you save $8.98.

One Neutrant Men and one Neutrant Women, 2.87 fl oz each. About five months of coverage for a couple, or ten months for one person who keeps a tube at home and one in the gym bag.

What it is

A mineral cream deodorant built on potassium alum. It neutralizes the bacteria that turn perspiration into odor, instead of plugging your sweat glands shut.

Dries in about 15 seconds

Apply a thin layer — a pea-sized amount per underarm is enough. It absorbs in roughly 15 seconds, so you can get dressed right away. More product doesn't work better; it only takes longer to dry and is what leaves a white mark on dark clothes.

About the yellow stain on white shirts

That set-in yellow underarm stain comes from aluminium chlorohydrate bonding with the proteins in sweat, and dryer heat locking it into the fibre. Neutrant contains no aluminium chlorohydrate, so it cannot start that reaction.

Results vary with fabric, laundry habits, and what was used on the garment before.

What's not in it

• No aluminium chlorohydrate — the compound antiperspirants use to block sweat ducts
• No parabens
• No alcohol
• No propylene glycol
• No baking soda, so no burning or rash on sensitive skin
• Vegan and cruelty free

Straight talk about aluminum

Potassium alum is a mineral salt, and yes — it contains aluminum. We say so, because plenty of brands claim "aluminum-free" on the same ingredient and that isn't true.

What matters is the form. Aluminium chlorohydrate is a small, absorbable molecule that plugs pores to stop sweat. Potassium alum is a large mineral crystal that stays on the skin's surface and stops odor bacteria. Different molecule, different job.

How to use

Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin with a circular motion. Give your skin about a week to adjust if you're coming off an antiperspirant.
