nuud natural deodorant review

Take a look at nuud deodorants

I hadn’t heard of nuud until I started these reviews, so this was exciting. The cream contains silver for its anti-bacterial properties and the tube is made from bioplastic sugarcane. 

First of all, I liked the fun quirky website (there’s a video of the tubes being filled – I’m easily amused) and that this was a cream, so different to anything that I’d tried until then. 

nuud also now make plastic free chewing gum, which I haven't tried yet.

When the package of deodorant arrived, my initial reaction was surprise – this was a very small tube (20ml) and not cheap.  

nuud say that this tiny tube will last 8-10 weeks and you don’t need to use very much of the cream (the size of a pea for each underarm) and one application can last between 2 days and a week.. and it doesn’t wash off in the shower. … Wow… so this was worth trying out. 

I also bought the special applicator (Magic Cap) to make this easier to apply - you screw the applicator on to the tube, to replace the cap - but I found it really difficult to squeeze any product out (it is quite thick) when the applicator was on, so I ended up just using the deodorant directly from the tube. 

 

How to use nuud deodorant

Wash your armpits with soap, dry them well and then apply a pea-sized amount to each armpit. If you'd prefer not to use your fingers, you can use the Magic Cap or a spatula.

nuud say that when you first use this, you might need to use it every other day for two weeks while you get used to it but after then you might only need to use it every 3-4 days.

To get this kind of benefit, you should try to just gently rinse your armpits with just water (don't scrub) and only use a tiny bit of soap if you really must.

How effective is nuud deodorant?

So  - how did this go? 

This wasn’t successful for me – I was a bit smelly towards the end of the second day and the cream definitely didn’t stay on through taking a shower, late on the second day, even though I was careful with just rinsing.  I will carry on and use the rest of the tube but I won’t be going back for more. 

nuud does get good reviews, so it might work for you…. just not for me. 

 

What is the nuud deodorant fragrance?

This is unfragranced which is really important to me.
