You use deodorant every day, but probably rarely think about what's actually in it or how it works. Here are seven reasons more men are taking a closer look.
Think about it.
You might use shampoo a few times a week. Cologne when you're going somewhere. Face wash once or twice a day.
But for most guys, deodorant is part of the routine every single morning.
One application a day for 20 years works out to more than 7,300 applications.
If you're going to use something that often, it makes sense to know a little more about what's in it.
A lot of us use the words interchangeably, but they're actually designed to do two different jobs.
Deodorant helps control odor.
Antiperspirant helps reduce perspiration.
Most antiperspirants use aluminum-based active ingredients that temporarily reduce the flow of sweat from your sweat ducts.
Some people are perfectly happy with that. Others would rather allow their body to sweat naturally and focus on controlling odor instead.
Here's the part a lot of people don't realize:
Sweat itself isn't what creates that familiar underarm smell.
Body odor develops when bacteria on your skin break down compounds found in your sweat.
That means deodorant doesn't necessarily need to stop perspiration in order to help keep you smelling fresh.
Instead, it can focus on the thing you're actually trying to solve: odor.
If you've already tried natural deodorant and hated it, you're definitely not alone.
A lot of natural formulas sound great on paper...
...then don't survive until lunch.
Others can leave your underarms irritated, stain your shirts, feel sticky, or turn into a mess when they get warm.
Natural doesn't automatically mean good deodorant.
The formula still has to perform.
Mountaineer Brand uses magnesium hydroxide to help control odor without relying on aluminum to reduce sweat.
Then we pair it with a few simple ingredients that each have a purpose.
This is where a natural deodorant either proves itself or doesn't.
Nobody cares how nice the ingredient list looks if you're worried about how you smell halfway through the workday.
Mountaineer Brand was made for actual life:
The goal isn't just to make a natural deodorant. It's to make a natural deodorant you actually want to keep using.
Switching something you've used every day for years can feel like a gamble.
Especially if you've already been disappointed by other natural deodorants.
That's why Mountaineer Brand backs its deodorant with a 365-day money-back guarantee.
Wear it to work. Sweat in it. Work out in it. Take it through summer.
Then decide for yourself.
