Can kids, tweens and teens use Woohoo deodorants?Updated a month ago

Lots of families do, and there's nothing in our deodorants formulated specifically for adults. Whether it suits a particular child is a call for you.

If you're choosing for a younger wearer, Mellow and Tango are our gentlest formulas. Both are bicarb-free and regular strength. The difference between them is scent: Tango carries essential oils, Mellow carries none at all. So if you're not sure how a child's skin will go, Mellow is the simplest place to start.

Older teens often want more deodorising power than that, and they tend to go for the Extra Strength scents: Pop, Tux and Wild. These contain bicarb, which is part of what makes them stronger. Skin varies a lot in how it gets on with bicarb, so it's worth going sparingly with these ones to start. If they want the strength without the bicarb, Drift is extra strength and bicarb-free.

Go sparingly, especially for sensitive skin. With a stick, up to three swipes is plenty and there's no need for more. With a paste, start with no more than half a pea per underarm, warmed between the fingertips and rubbed in like a moisturiser. If you notice any redness or irritation, stop and let their skin settle. Get in touch if that happens and we'll help you find a gentler option.

One other thing that helps: encourage a daily wash under the arms so deodorant doesn't build up.
