This Biork 100% natural, Potassium crystal deodorant is completely plastic free and can last you over 1 year. The Crystal deodorant stick works because it purifies the sweat which stops bacteria gathering there (which causes a bad odour). This Product is naturally anti-bacterial and is suitable for all skin types. It's un-scented and hypoallergenic.
Cork Packaging:
Cork oaks contribute in a highly valuable manner to mitigating climate change. They store up to 30 percent more CO2 than other trees. With an area of around 2.3 million hectares, the Mediterranean cork oak forests absorb around 13 million tonnes of CO2 per year.
Aluminium In Deodorants:
When an antiperspirant claims to be “aluminum-free,” they are saying it does not contain Aluminum chlorohydrate, Aluminum chloride, Aluminum hydroxybromide or Aluminum zirconium—all forms of Aluminum commonly used in antiperspirants and deodorants. To stop the flow of sweat to your skin’s surface, the aluminum plugs sweat ducts in the top layer of your skin stopping the natural flow of sweat to your skin’s surface. This Aluminum can also be absorbed into your body where it can then build up as part of your body burden. Alzheimer’s disease and cancer are two illnesses known to be associated with Aluminum exposure.
The Aluminum in crystal deodorant stones is a different type of Aluminum, called alum. The most common form is potassium alum, also known as potassium Aluminum sulfate. Potassium alum (and other alums) is a natural mineral salt made up of molecules that are too large to be absorbed by your skin. They form a protective layer on your skin that inhibits the growth of odour-causing bacteria.
To Use:
Moisten the tip of the stick and gently rub over the areas needed. Dry the tip before putting the lid back on.

Why Lucy Loves
A deodorant that can last over a year is incredible and one of the main reasons i wanted to stock this product. This deodorant was recommended to me by a friend who had made the switch and absolutely loved it. Everything about this product is sustainable, down to the paper label on the cork which is also completely plastic free. This is great for travelling and really easy to use. It is also natural which is important for me when it comes to skincare.
