EB Skin – Symbiotic Deodorant Neroli & Vanilla 40g

This deodorant cream was in close competition for being the creamiest with the smoothest, most grit-free application. It’s both bicarb and magnesium free (the latter being the common replacement for bicarb in many formulations) so it’s ultra easy on the skin. Plus, the formula used probiotics (e.g. good bacteria) alongside things like arrowroot and zinc oxide to keep the bad, body-odor-causing bacteria at bay, which is the first of its kind we’ve seen. It has a lovely orange blossom scent and the cream comes in an aluminium pot. For me it worked all day to keep body odor away and I like to think that the good bacteria is working in the long run to keep the skin and microbiome in my underarms healthy!

They source Fair Trade Shea Butter and wildcrafted ingredients and are willing to be out of stock instead of finding a different source, which demonstrates the ethics they maintain around formulating their products. I like that they are working on becoming a fully plastic free brand as well and try to do the little things like smaller print runs of labels, etc. so that they are managing their waste wherever they can.

Ultra creamy, easy to spread deodorant that felt really nice on the skin. It worked really well and had a lovely scent! The formula is very interesting and focuses on our skin biome more closely. I also appreciate how the brand is focusing on their targeted community.
