Why do I still smell when switching to natural deodorant?Updated 2 months ago

A bit of extra odour in the early days is completely normal - especially if you’re moving away from an antiperspirant.

Some people have no adjustment period, others 4 days to a week. In some extreme cases we have seen this take up to 4 weeks. 

A few things may be happening:

• Your sweat glands are adjusting now that they’re no longer blocked by aluminium.

• There may be some product build-up on the skin.

• You might need a more thorough wash or a deeper clean to reset the skin’s surface.

• You might be better suited to a different Woohoo scent (because different essential oils work better than others for some of us)

A warm, soapy wash with a washer each day = plus the occasional deep-clean clay mask - usually helps things settle nicely.

If odour continues or you’re unsure which formula is right for you, we’re always here to help.
