Did you know - the average number of chemicals that we apply to our body every day is 168?*
Think about it… from skin care, hair care, oral hygiene, body care, make-up, to fragrances… we are so used to being told - more is more, and that an extensive 7 step routine is normal (we’re looking at you, big corporate beauty brands). But what if this is all bullsh*t?
Ever heard of toxic overload? It’s a term that’s more common now than ever before, as our bodies are constantly exposed to so many lotions, serums, creams - you name it. All of this, actually sinks into our bodies largest organ, our skin.
We are left to process a number of chemicals that our ancestors were never exposed to and it can be a very heavy load for our bodies to keep up with. It causes stress on our body to excrete these toxics and can be really harmful. If you don’t recognise an ingredient, your body won’t either.
We decided it's time to Be Natural and Do Less.
Natural products have had a bit of hype around them, and Natural Deodorant is something that is becoming a lot more main-stream. Here’s some reasons that Natural Deodorants are becoming a much needed topic of conversation:
-
Sweating under your pits is a natural detoxification
Sweating helps you regulate your body temperature and release toxins that have made their way into your system. Antiperspirants (antiperspirants and un-natural deodorants that contain aluminium) work by clogging your pores - leaving your body to stop sweating under your arms completely. Have you ever wondered where this sweat releases if not from under your arms where it is naturally meant to? -
Aliminum based Antipersperants could make your B.O worse
“Most deodorants don’t work for me?” - ever heard that before? When aluminium or other chemicals in your traditional antiperspirant build up on your skin, they mix with the bacteria found under your arms and can make the odour much worse. Where as natural deodorants (especially the ingredients used in Dulesé) prevent odour causing bacteria and over time decrease the amount you sweat. (Meaning, the more you use it, the better it works. 😇) -
Less likely to ruin your fave black top
Natural ingredients - especially those found in Dulesé have been make with a “no stain” policy. Heavy chemicals found in other antiperspirants, are criminal for leaving stains on clothes. We believe that clothes should last a lifetime, and encourage buying good quality items and looking after them. Hence, a deodorant that doesn’t stain! -
Health benefits
This one could be an entire blog in itself, so we want to keep this on high level for this:- Healthier Underarms – Nourishes skin for smooth, irritation-free comfort.
- Gentle & Effective – Tough on odor, kind to sensitive skin.
- Long-Lasting Freshness – Natural protection that lasts all day.
- Worry-Free Formula – No ingredients linked to hormone disruption or health concerns.
- Supports Natural Balance – Works with your body, not against it.
- Less Toxins, Less Stress – Reduces strain on your body for overall well-being.
- Fertility & Hormone-Friendly – A cleaner choice for total body health.
(There are MANY more, but more on that later) -
More sustainable!
Not all deodorants are made equal, and at Dulesè there has been such care taken to ensure at every step of our supply chain, we are opting for the most ethical option. From 100% post consumer plastic refillable cases, to ingredients that are high quality and cruelty free. It feels damn good buying from businesses out here making a difference.
