Why Make the Switch

From Personal Experience Transitioning to natural deodorant need not be scary. As someone who's been using Bare + Free since 2019, I can tell you the journey is absolutely worth it. What started as winning a tube in a competition became a four-year love affair that eventually led me to own the business.

The Problem with Conventional Deodorants Most conventional deodorants contain aluminium salts that plug your sweat ducts and build up in your system over years. Your underarms become dependent on these harsh chemicals to function.

Why Your Body Will Thank You
🥥 Reduced Chemical Load:
 Eliminate daily exposure to aluminium and synthetic ingredients
🥥 Better Skin Health:
 Natural ingredients nourish rather than irritate
🥥 Enhanced Natural Function: Your body learns to regulate itself without artificial blockages

Real Results After years as a customer, I can honestly say: you'll actually sweat less overall once your body adjusts. As a busy mum running two businesses, I need all-day freshness - and natural delivers better than anything I used before.

Before you take the step in reducing your body's toxin intake, here's what you need to know about the transition process...

What to Expect During Transition

The Reality: You're Going Through Detox

You are going to go through a period of detox. This will vary person to person, but you need to give yourself up to 6 weeks for your body to adjust and rid itself of the aluminium-filled sweat glands you've clogged up over the years.

Week 1 - 2

You may experience excess sweating during the detox phase. This is completely normal and most people find once they've been using a natural deodorant for a while they actually end up sweating less overall.

Week 2 - 4

Your body odour will have its ups and downs until all is settled. It might be a good idea to go easy on high odour foods (eg. garlic) while you're transitioning.

Week 4 - 6

Your body settles into its new rhythm.

The Key:Overall, patience is the biggest thing! Allow your body to do its thing and you'll be left with the biggest reward at the end of the day!

Tips for Success

🍋 Do an Underarm Detox!

The easiest way to speed up the detox process is to use a mask on your underarms. A clay style mask with detoxing ingredients like charcoal is a great one to try. This assists in removing built up aluminium and other toxic chemicals that have made home in your sweat glands. Use daily for up to a week for the best results.

🍋 Take it Slow!

Our skin is slightly acidic so when we use a product that is alkaline we may have a little reaction. By starting slowly and gradually building up use it allows your underarms to adapt and not freak out!

Here's our version of taking it slow

Day 1 Apply the smallest amount (I mean small)

Day 2 Have a deodorant free day

Day 3 Apply another small amount

Day 4 Apply another small amount

Day 5 Have a deodorant free day

Day 6 Apply a little bit more than previously

Day 7 Use a small amount

Day 8 Use what is needed and continue on being Bare + Free

🍋 Use an Antibacterial Wash

As it is the bacteria that causes body odours, using an antibacterial body wash will help to fully cleanse your skin and reduce any build up.

🍋 Troubleshooting Common Issues

🥥 Excess sweating: Completely normal during detox - it actually decreases over time
🥥 Skin sensitivity: Start slow with tiny amounts and build up gradually
🥥 Odour fluctuations: Avoid high-odour foods during transition period
🥥 Skin reactions: Take deodorant-free days between applications initially
