Myth 1: Natural deodorants don’t work
This is probably the most common one. Natural deodorants aren’t designed to stop you from sweating – they’re made to prevent odour. Sweat itself doesn’t smell; it's the bacteria that feed on it that cause the unpleasant scent. A good natural deodorant absorbs moisture and keeps bacteria in check – which means you stay fresh, even without blocking your sweat glands.

Myth 2: You need to detox your armpits first
Ever heard that your armpits need a detox before you can switch to natural deodorant? There's no scientific evidence for that. However, some people do experience a transition phase – you might notice a bit more moisture or smell during the first few weeks after quitting antiperspirant. That’s not a detox, it’s just your body adjusting. Give it a little time. It usually evens out.

Myth 3: Natural deodorants irritate your skin
Some do, some don’t – it depends on the formula and your skin. Ingredients like baking soda can be too much for some people, while others have no issues at all. At Fero, we keep things gentle with carefully chosen ingredients and also offer an unscented option, FREE, for sensitive skin.

Myth 4: They’re sticky or hard to apply
Older versions of natural deodorants were sometimes harder to work with, but that’s changed. Today, a high-quality natural deodorant should glide on easily and feel good on your skin. Fero’s formula absorbs quickly and leaves no stickiness – just a smooth, fresh finish.

Myth 5: They smell weird
Natural doesn’t have to mean “earthy” or “intense.” Our scents are clean, modern, and designed to feel like an extension of your favourite fragrance – whether you're into fresh and floral or warm and woody. Plus, we work with local artists to match every scent with beautiful, unique packaging.
