Feeling (and smelling) fresh can be a challenge in this country’s endless heat and humidity. Even if you work in a chilly office, just stepping outside for a quick lunch break can already cause you to break a sweat! Even if swiping on some deodorant before heading out is the norm for most of us, not all deos are made equal and finding the right one for you seems more difficult than it should be. But instead of scouring supermarket shelves to try one after the other, have you ever stopped to think of a more natural alternative?
A quick web search can give you a ton of studies that show regular deos can either be good or bad for your health, so maybe play it safe and switch to crystal deodorants that work just as well as generic ones, without any of the scary side effects. Proudly toting its title as the most popular deodorant brand in Thailand, U&I wants to make sure that taking care of body odor doesn’t have to compromise your health. And your budget! That’s why their range of deos offers 24-hour protection, is hypoallergenic, all-natural, and lasts for months. Yes, months! So what exactly makes crystal alum deodorants a better and safer choice?
Here’s the tea: Crystal alum deodorants are made of natural mineral salts that include potassium or ammonium alum. Bacteria, the culprit of bad B.O., totally love moist spaces like our pits. When we sweat, they multiply like crazy. Crystal deos prevent them from doing that, instead of just covering up the smell. Oh, and the minerals of the deo are non-toxic, and its molecules are too big to pass through skin—so they don’t get absorbed into the body. For the more fashion-conscious readers, they won’t leave behind any white marks or stains on your favorite top. Sensitive skin? No sweat (literally), because they’re non-sticky and are free from fragrances and alcohol.
Now that I’ve got your undivided attention and interest, it’s all a matter of choosing which natural deo from U&I you’ll love best:
