Sweet Citrus Refreshing Roll-On Deodorant 50ml
Stay fresh naturally with bright citrus and prebiotic care.
Handcrafted by Nurme in Estonia, this natural aluminium-free roll-on combines effective odour control with moisturising care. Prebiotic red kapok flower extract supports the underarm microbiome, while zinc ricinoleate captures unwanted odours. Panthenol and hyaluronic acid help keep skin soft and comfortable, and mandarin and sweet orange essential oils provide a refreshing citrus scent.
Vegan, cruelty-free and alcohol-free, with no synthetic perfume.
Key Benefits
- Controls odour without blocking sweat glands: Aluminium-free protection that allows normal perspiration.
- Supports the underarm microbiome: Prebiotic red kapok flower extract encourages a balance favouring skin-friendly bacteria.
- Captures odour molecules: Zinc ricinoleate binds unpleasant smells.
- Helps discourage odour formation: Triethyl citrate, lactic acid and gluconic acid help maintain conditions less favourable to odour.
- Moisturises and soothes: Glycerin, panthenol and hyaluronic acid care for delicate underarm skin.
- Naturally scented: Essential oils provide freshness without synthetic perfume.
Why Mandarin and Sweet Orange?
Their essential oils create a fresh, lively citrus fragrance.
Scent: Bright mandarin and sweet orange.
How This Deodorant Reduces Odour
Underarm odour develops when microorganisms on the skin break down sweat and produce compounds that smell. This formula addresses that process in several complementary ways:
- Prebiotic support: Red kapok flower extract helps favour skin-friendly bacteria and reduce the proportion of odour-forming ones, helping limit odour at its source.
- Odour binding: Zinc ricinoleate, derived from castor oil, captures odour molecules.
- pH support: Triethyl citrate works alongside lactic and gluconic acid to help maintain skin conditions less favourable to odour.
The formula allows your body to perspire normally. At the same time, its moisturising ingredients help keep underarms soft and comfortable.
Clinical and Laboratory Research
Nurme reports the following findings from research published by the supplier of its red kapok flower active ingredient:
- Improved bacterial balance: In a 28-day clinical study involving 27 men using a roll-on test formulation, the ratio of skin-friendly to odour-forming bacteria (Staphylococcus/Corynebacterium) increased by up to 489%, approximately sixfold, and was twice as high as with placebo.
- Fewer odour-causing compounds: After 24 hours, volatile odour compounds were 56.8% lower than placebo. Reported reductions included 50.9% for acetic acid (vinegar-like odour), 58.2% for butyric acid (rancid odour) and 65.2% for valeric acid (sweaty-socks odour).
- Preserved microbial diversity: The supplier reports that the active ingredient did not reduce the overall quantity or diversity of underarm microflora.
- Reduced bacterial adhesion: Laboratory testing showed up to 92% less adhesion of the odour-forming bacterium Corynebacterium xerosis to the skin surface.
These results concern the supplier's active ingredient and test formulations. They are not results from a clinical trial of the finished Nurme Sweet Citrus deodorant.
