Olla Deo Cream

Description

Autumn ritual. My natural Deo Cream, in the warm, spiced Olla blend.

It works with your body, not against it. It won't stop you sweating - that's something your body is meant to do - but it helps neutralise odour and keeps you feeling fresh through the day.

Arrowroot, kaolin, magnesium hydroxide and a little bicarbonate of soda do the hard work. Shea butter, mango butter and jojoba oil keep the delicate skin under your arms comfortable. No aluminium. No synthetic fragrance or parfum.

It smells warm and comforting - juicy sweet orange, spicy cinnamon and clove, with earthy patchouli. The name came from a CONCHUS customer: café de olla is a Mexican coffee made with cinnamon, clove and orange.

Key Ingredients

• Arrowroot and kaolin - soft, natural powders that help you feel dry and fresh
• Magnesium hydroxide and zinc ricinoleate - help neutralise odour
• Shea butter, mango butter and jojoba oil - keep underarm skin soft and comfortable
• Olla essential oil blend - sweet orange, may chang, patchouli, cinnamon and clove

How to use

• Warm a pea-sized amount on your fingertip until it softens
• Massage into clean, dry underarms
• Give it a minute to sink in before getting dressed
• Reapply whenever you need to

Suitability

Not suitable for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. I've kept the bicarbonate of soda in this Deo Cream deliberately low, but a few people still find it irritating - patch test first if your underarms are sensitive, and don't apply to broken skin. Store somewhere cool, out of direct sunlight.
