Essence of Rosewood Natural Deodorant

After opening, Nala deodorants perform best if used within six months. With daily use, one tube should last 3-6 months.

For best results, start with the Peppermint-Charcoal Detox Deodorant to aid in your transition to a free-from deodorant.

Apply daily and nightly until you use up the product. Applying before sleep will help expedite the detox process as well as will leave you waking up feeling cool and refreshed.

If you need stronger odor protection during the day, apply an Extra strength deodorant during the day, while continuing to use the Detox deodorant before bedtime.

For all Nala deodorants, 2 swipes will do. No need to overapply.

Yes!

Nala deodorants are free from aluminum, known carcinogens, parabens, phthalates, and propylene glycol, making them a safe choice during pregnancy and breastfeeding. We encourage mothers who are conscious and curious about aluminum and its potential effects to consider switching to a natural deodorant as a great preventative and safe step in your (and your baby’s) self-care.

A note on essential oils:

• Lavender is sometimes listed as an essential oil that is not recommended during pregnancy. Specifically, this oil is Lavandula Latofolia, or Spanish lavender. We do not use Spanish lavender in Nala products.We do use Lavandula Anustifolia (English lavender) in our Peppermint & Charcoal Detox. The difference between these two is the much higher content (over 10%) of 1,8 cineole and camphor in Spanish lavender, which are excellent for respiratory issues, but not recommended for pregnant women and infants. English lavender has virtually no camphor (only 0.2%) and no 1,8 cineole. This is verified through quality testing and certification by our supplier, and our own rigorous quality standards.
• Peppermint is often used to relieve symptoms of nausea, indigestion, and fatigue - common side effects of pregnancy. Consumed in high quantities some studies suggest a link to a decrease in milk supply1. Nala uses very low concentrations (< 0.5%) of organic peppermint essential oilsin our Peppermint-Charcoal Detox Deodorant and is safe to use during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and post-partum.
