We do a deep dive on this topic in our blog post Antiperspirant and Deodorant: What's Actually the Difference? Sweat Facts | Life at the Helmm. But, if you want the cliff notes, see below!
We know that everybody is different, and people require different types of personal care items depending on body, lifestyle, and behavior. Thankfully, we offer three award-winning formulas, making sure there’s something for everyone!
Antiperspirant: As a general rule of thumb, if you sometimes display visible sweat stains, are prone to nervous sweating, or are an active individual, you should try out an Antiperspirant & Deodorant. Antiperspirant is designed to reduce perspiration and mask body odor, providing long-lasting protection throughout the day.
I should wear Antiperspirant if...
- I typically have visible sweat if I don’t apply an Antiperspirant or Deodorant
- I typically smell if I don’t apply an Antiperspirant or Deodorant
- I go to the gym frequently, or am otherwise very active
- I usually have long work days (9+ hours)
- I have visible “pit stains” from time to time
- I sometimes get body odor (don’t worry – totally normal!)
- I typically apply an Antiperspirant or Deodorant several times a day
- I sweat when I get anxious or nervous
- I sometimes start sweating after drinking too much coffee or eating spicy food
Sport Deodorant: If you have concerns about odor but don't worry about visible sweat, then Sport Deodorant is for you! Our Sport Deodorant formula is Aluminum-Free, and made with naturally-derived ingredients.
- Visible sweat stains are not a concern, but my body odor doesn't exactly smell like roses
- I typically smell if I don’t apply a Deodorant
- I go to the gym frequently, or am otherwise very active
- I usually have long work days (9+ hours)
- I care deeply about avoiding aluminum products
Natural Deodorant: If you don’t really sweat that much or get body odor (lucky you), we’d recommend a Natural Deodorant. Natural Deodorant is designed to mask body odor, and is made with All-Natural and organic ingredients.
I should wear Natural Deodorant if...
- I don’t really sweat that much (lucky you)
- I usually only have to apply deodorant once a day (sometimes less)
- I am extremely conscientious about the ingredients in my personal care products
- I care deeply about organic and natural ingredients
- I don’t mind being sweaty, it’s just the body odor that bothers me
