Waaaaaay back in January we asked for some willing human hamsters (product testers) to trial a natural deodorant for us. It took us a while to get the formula ready and sent out (we may need to increase our Happy Team members), but we got there 
The reports from the hamsters have come back. To save you the suspense … it’s good news!
The human hamsters did a fabulous job and sweated a whole lot to put the deodorant through its paces. Their feedback overwhelmingly positive (hooray!). The biggest complaint was that the jar had finished!
To go back a step, if you are wondering why we are creating a natural deodorant, this blog post covers why you should ditch your antiperspirant.
Sweating is actually really good for you. And antiperspirants AREN’T. We understand that no one wants to go around smelling like you have been camping for a week without a shower, and that’s why we have been working on a 100% natural deodorant.
Most of you told us that the natural deodorants you had tried just didn’t work. And you know we love a good challenge. It took us about 6 months, but we think the formula is almost right.
Fun Fact – Anthropologist Louis Leakey suspects that our body odour comes from our ancient defence system to stop animals from eating us.
We’re always nervous that new products aren’t going work as well as we planned. We shouldn’t have worried as the natural deodorant worked for most of the hamsters and no one reported any skin irritations.
Irritated skin was our biggest concern because bicarb soda can really be uncomfortable for some. Bicarb is amazing at stopping B.O. (the dreaded body odour) but too much leaves you with red, itchy armpits. We don’t wish that on anyone.
Our product testers had some suggestions for us to help make the formula even better, but before we get too carried away making changes we want some more human hamsters to try it.
That’s where you come in
