Natural deodorant
Natural deodorant cream
One pea-size dab stops odor for up to 72 hours. It doesn’t stop you sweating, it stops the smell.
Description
A natural deodorant cream. One pea-sized amount stops odor for up to 72 hours.
It does not mask the smell. Microsilver and zinc oxide stop the bacteria that cause it, and leave the rest of your skin alone.
Tested by an independent German institute on fifty people with sensitive skin. No reactions.
How to use
Apply a pea-sized amount to clean, dry skin. Rub in gently. A little goes a long way.
Reapply every day or two, out of habit more than need.
Pause, skip or cancel anytime
Change how often it arrives, skip a delivery, pause anytime or cancel in one click. No phone call and no retention script. Everything is in your account.
How it works
Does a natural deodorant actually work?
It does when it works on the cause. Sweat itself doesn’t smell; the smell comes from bacteria on your skin breaking it down. Antiperspirants plug your sweat glands with aluminum salts. nuud leaves them alone.
Microsilver breaks down the bacteria that cause odor, and zinc oxide turns the fatty acids in sweat into odorless zinc salts. You still sweat, you just don’t smell. Everything in it is natural, and there are only nine ingredients.
- 100% natural
- 71% organic, certified by Ecocert
- Nine ingredients
- two actives that do the work, seven that carry them
- Vegan
- candelilla wax instead of beeswax
- Never in it
- aluminum, baking soda, fragrance, alcohol, parabens, salts, propellants
How to use it
One pea-size dab, up to 72 hours
nuud is a cream, and a concentrated one: roughly fifteen times more than a regular deodorant spray. So instead of several swipes of a stick, you use one pea-size dab per armpit, and a single application stops odor for up to 72 hours. Plenty of people still apply every day or two out of habit.
The cream is oil-based and water-resistant, so it holds through workouts and showers. And because so little goes so far, one tube lasts for weeks.
Start clean and dry
Apply after a shower, on dry skin.
Take a pea-size dab
That’s enough for one armpit. More doesn’t work better.
Rub it in
Spread with your fingertip until it disappears.
Sensitive skin
Gentle on sensitive skin
Baking soda is what most people react to in natural deodorants, so nuud doesn’t use it. No fragrance and no alcohol either. It was tested by an independent German institute on fifty people with sensitive skin, without a single reaction.
And with no perfume in it, you smell like your soap or your own fragrance, not your deodorant.

Questions
Natural deodorant questions
Do natural deodorants actually work?
Some do, some don’t. Many natural deodorants only cover odor with fragrance. nuud works on the cause: microsilver and zinc oxide stop the bacteria that make sweat smell, for up to 72 hours per application.
Is aluminum-free deodorant better for you?
It depends on what you want. Aluminum is what makes an antiperspirant stop sweat. If you’d rather keep sweating normally and just not smell, an aluminum-free anti-odorant like nuud does exactly that, with 100% natural ingredients.
Why do I still smell with aluminum-free deodorant?
Often because the deodorant masks odor instead of stopping the bacteria, or because your skin needs a little time after switching from an antiperspirant. Apply nuud on clean, dry skin. If you notice odor, wash and apply again.
What happens when I switch from an antiperspirant?
Give your armpits a week or two. Your sweat glands are working normally again and your skin is adjusting, so the first days can feel different. Apply on clean, dry skin, and if you notice odor, wash and apply again. If nuud doesn’t work for you, you get your money back.
Will I still sweat with natural deodorant?
Yes. nuud is an anti-odorant, not an antiperspirant. It leaves your pores open so you still sweat, it just neutralizes the bacteria that cause odor.
Is cream deodorant better than a stick?
A cream can be far more concentrated, so you need much less. With nuud, one pea-size dab per armpit is enough, and one 15ml tube lasts 6 to 7 weeks.
Does a 72-hour deodorant really last 3 days?
nuud is effective for up to 72 hours per application. Most people apply every day or two out of habit, not need.
Is nuud good for sensitive skin?
It’s dermatologically tested and approved, with no aluminum, no alcohol and no baking soda, the ingredient most people react to. It’s fragrance-free too.
Does it survive the gym?
Yes. The formula is oil-based and water-resistant, not alcohol-based, so it holds through workouts and showers.
Is nuud vegan?
Yes. All nine ingredients are plant-based or mineral, with candelilla wax instead of beeswax.
How much is shipping to the US?
$5.95 flat on every order, with duties included. Orders ship from the Netherlands and take about 5 to 7 days.
