Nuud, Highly Effective Deodorant

nuud is not a deodorant, but apreodorant – a regular deodorant disguises the odour of perspiration, whereas nuud preventsthis smell altogether. With nuud, smell does not stand a chance, because the bacteria, responsible for the smell, are inhibited naturally. In an antiperspirant the active component (aluminium) closes off the pores, and in combination with fragrances, the smell is masked, instead of prevented.

nuud works for days, after just one application – Because nuud is different, and therefore works for longer than a regular deodorant, you need a lot less of it. Micro silver structurally reduces the bacteria population, which means the smell of perspiration cannot occur. nuud works for a minimum of 48 hours and a maximum of 7 days. In addition to the ease of not having to put on deodorant as often, it also has the important benefit in that it is better for your skin because it is left more at ease.

nuud is applied directly on your skin – Rubbed on instead of rolled or sprayed. The cream, the micro silver carrier, transports the effective components to the right spot and keeps them in place. The cream does not only guarantee its effectiveness, but it is also very gentle on your skin and does not cause any irritations. This is why we chose this particular carrier of the effective components, instead of a roll-on or spray. And, because it does not dissolve in water, you can shower, work-out or do whatever you want, without reducing its effectiveness.

nuud is odourless – Instead of smelling of your deodorant’s fragrance, nuud allows you to smell like yourself. nuud contains no perfume, this way you can decide whether you want to smell of nothing, or of your favourite perfume or aftershave! Some people need some time getting used to this, especially if you’re so used to always smelling of your regular deodorant spray…

nuud really does not leave any stains on your clothes – nuud contains no ingredients that discolour your clothes and make them unusable. No more shirts with yellow armpits stains! (An added advantage: nuud is actually saving you money! ;-))

nuud is many times more concentrated than a regular deodorant; you need about fifteen times less. Which means that fifteen times less of it needs to be produced, fifteen times less of it needs to be transported and fifteen times less packaging material will be thrown away. Therefore, nuud has a less of an impact on the environment. Did you know, for instance, that about 8 billion bottles of deodorant end up in the bin per year, in Europe and USA alone?

Perspiring is important for your body. That is why nuud does not contain salts, which block your sweat glands. Regular deodorants that contain aluminium salts or baking soda often cause your body’s perspiration management to be disturbed and your body to store excess toxins. nuud fixes this for you. Naturally and odourless! Sometimes it initially intensifies your perspiration, in terms of sweat and smell, for a little while. This ‘detox’ effect stops once you have been using nuud for a longer period of time. If you are a bit unsure, start using nuud on the weekend, so that you can test it in your own, safe space, and figure out how nuud works for you.

nuud is not an antiperspirant, but a deodorant.

It is important to explain the difference between a deodorant and an antiperspirant. A deodorant attacks the smell and an antiperspirant attacks the fluids. Most deodorants are also antiperspirants. nuud is primarily a deodorant and therefore attacks the perspiration smell, and to a lesser degree the perspiration fluids.

Perspiration fluids are the result of your body trying to cool down. This fluid is odourless, but is usually considered, especially if you perspire a lot, unpleasant.

The active ingredients in antiperspirants block your pores, which results in less perspiration. However, this disturbs your internal temperature management and toxins are not able to leave your body via your armpits.

When you stop using an antiperspirant your pores will no longer be blocked, which means, that especially in the very beginning, you might perspire more than before. The gel-plugs that had been blocking your pores for years are slowly leaving your body. This can take a while. For many people this is an uncomfortable experience and they assume nuud isn’t working for them so they switch back to their old deodorant. Our advice: give it some time!

A temporary stronger perspiration smell

The smell of perspiration occurs when bacteria change the skin oils in your perspiration fluids into butyric acid. These butyric acids are the cause for the characteristically ‘smelly sweat’. To disguise this smell, many fragrances are added to regular deodorants. Which often results in a body odour that is a mix of sweat and cheap perfume.

When you start using nuud, the smell of the bacteria won’t be masked anymore, like it has been with all your previous deodorants, but these bacteria will be inhibited and eventually stopped. Your microbiome just has to get used to this new situation. So, give it some time!

If you don’t have many bacteria, nuud will work after just one application, if you have more bacteria, it is possible that you will need to apply it a couple of times before it starts to fully work for you. This detox-period can take some time. It may even happen that you smell of sweat a little more than usual during this period. Keep applying until your body has gotten used to it; play around with the frequency to discover what works best for you.
