Deodorant and pregnancy: what is in ours

If you are pregnant and having a look at what is on your bathroom shelf, here is what is in our deodorant, so you can decide for yourself.

One thing worth knowing first. Antiperspirants use aluminum salts to reduce how much you sweat. Deodorants, ours included, do not stop sweat. They work on the smell.

There is no aluminum, paraben, SLS or SLES on our ingredient list. It does include bergamot, grapefruit, orange, lavender and eucalyptus oils, along with limonene, linalool, citral and geraniol. The full list is on the product page.

If you have a question about a specific ingredient during pregnancy, your midwife or GP is the right person to ask. Take the list with you.
