How we ditched toxic deodorants and crafted AporeNaturals


In lively and tropical Singapore, Yuliya and Chris, the dynamic duo behind AporeNaturals, found themselves on a mission to embrace a healthier lifestyle after welcoming their first child. As they made swaps in their pantry for healthier options, they couldn't help but notice the questionable ingredients lurking in their personal care products too.

Armed with a newfound sense of determination and a desire to eliminate toxins from their daily routines, Yuliya and Chris set their sights on a bathroom cabinet staple that was often overlooked – the deodorant.

This marked the beginning of their quest for a genuinely natural, effective, and budget-friendly deodorant, and finding it wasn’t easy. Some 'natural' deodorants still had sneaky synthetic fragrances, aluminum salts, and baking soda lurking in their formulas, while others left clothes stained and underarms irritated – not to mention the persistent BO! Fueled by their desire to find a safer option that actually worked, Yuliya and Chris had a lightbulb moment: why not create a deodorant they could truly rely on every single day?

After nearly two years of digging deep into research, experimenting tirelessly, and fine-tuning their formula, AporeNaturals's 100% natural, science-backed aluminum and toxin-free roll-on deodorant came to life. Made with love in Singapore, AporeNaturals offers three unique scents infused with top-notch essential oils and enriched with Chamomile and Centella Asiatica extracts(include link to main shop page with all 3 SKUs please) – a treat for your underarms! It is proudly vegan and cruelty-free, tested on family and friends, never on animals. And let's not overlook AporeNaturals' dedication to sustainability, as their fully recyclable packaging is crafted with 30% post-consumer recycled plastic.

So if you're considering making the switch from conventional to natural deodorant, here are some tips and tricks from the founders of AporeNaturals to make this transition a breeze:

  • Patience is Key: Your body might need a week or two to adjust as it detoxifies from conventional deodorants. Don't worry, though – it'll be worth it in the end! During this time, you might notice a little extra odor, but hang in there and don’t give up!
  • Shave and Cleanse Those Underarms: Believe it or not, underarm hair can become a cozy nest for bacteria, trapping sweat and odor with limited airflow. To give your underarms a detox and say goodbye to that odor-causing bacteria, it's a good idea to keep them clean and shaved. Just wait a bit before applying deodorant after shaving to avoid irritating those sensitive pores.
  • Stay Hydrated: Keep that reusable water bottle handy! Staying hydrated helps your body flush out toxins, keeping the odor at bay.
  • You Are What You Eat: Spoil yourself with a scrumptious diet full of fresh fruits, veggies, and whole grains. Opt for foods like leafy greens, berries, and nuts packed with antioxidants and vitamins, giving your body the love it deserves. Steer clear of heavily processed foods and remember, what you munch on affects how you smell!
  • Sweat it Out: Let your body do its thing! Sweating is a natural way to regulate temperature and detoxify, so don't stress about it. Embrace the process rather than blocking it with pore-clogging ingredients.

Switching to a natural deodorant like AporeNaturals isn't just about ditching the toxins; it's about embracing a healthier, more mindful lifestyle and choosing products that are.
