Natural confidence for your kids.

When it comes to personal care products, we're proud to see the shift toward natural alternatives that prioritize health without compromising on effectiveness.

Every parent wants to support their child's well-being and one area that can be tricky is approaching personal hygiene with your kids. In this blog, we're diving deep and exploring the benefits of natural cream deodorants for kids, tweens and teens. We'll explore the factors that contribute to body odour, health advantages to using natural deodorants, the boost in confidence for teens and why Neitra's deodorant stands out as a winner being both beneficial and economical.

Understanding the Need for Deodorants

When does my kid need deodorant? Well, the magic age varies, but generally, around 8-10 years old is when body odour makes its debut. Neitra's Cream Deodorant is designed with a gentle touch, making it ideal for introducing your kids to the world of personal care. As kids enter puberty, their bodies undergo significant changes, including the development of sweat glands. Combine that with the natural surge in hormonal activity and this can lead to increased body odour - which is something we all want to avoid.

Did you know that "stress" can also cause body odour?

As an adult, you probably know first hand about "stress sweats" - think of how your body reacts during a job interview or when the family comes to your house for the holidays. Stress can cause the same to happen to kids - we've had parents use our deodorant on their little ones as young as 6 years old because starting school caused so much stress.

Traditional deodorants and antiperspirants often contain a "cocktail of chemicals", including aluminum, parabens and synthetic fragrances. Not only are these ingredients bad for your health, they can be harsh on your skin no matter how "grown up" you are - so there's even more reason to avoid them on young, developing skin.

Understanding Factors That Create Body Odour

1. Sweat and Bacteria Interaction: Body odour is primarily a result of the interaction between sweat and bacteria on the skin's surface. Believe it or not, sweat itself is odourless, but when it comes into contact with bacteria, especially in areas with a high concentration of apocrine glands (such as the underarms), it can produce an unpleasant smell.

2. Hormonal Changes: Hormonal changes during puberty play a significant role in the development of body odour. Increased hormonal activity stimulates the apocrine glands, leading to the production of a type of sweat that is rich in proteins. When this sweat interacts with bacteria, it produces body odour.

3. Diet and Lifestyle: Diet and lifestyle choices can also influence body odour. Certain foods and spices, such as garlic, onions and curry, can contribute to the smell of sweat. Additionally, poor hygiene practices and the use of harsh chemical-based deodorants can actually exacerbate body odour concerns.

Health Benefits of Natural Deodorants

1. Chemical-Free Formulation: Neitra's natural cream deodorants are crafted with a commitment to purity. Free from aluminum, parabens, phthalates and synthetic fragrances, our deodorants provide a chemical-free alternative that is gentle and effective - especially on the more sensitive skin of kids, tweens and teens.

2. Skin-Friendly Ingredients: The natural ingredients used in our deodorants were carefully selected for their skin-friendly properties. Ingredients like organic coconut oil, organic shea butter and 100% pure essential oils not only provide effective odour control but also nourish and moisturize the skin, leaving it soft, supple and clean.
   

3. Healthy Ingredient Formulation: Sensitivity is a common concern especially in younger individuals. Our natural cream deodorants include arrowroot powder which reduces the risk of skin irritation and allergic reactions. This ensures a comfortable and safe experience for kids and teens and allows them to be confident in the products they're using on their bodies!
   

4. Simple Application: Now, let's talk application - Neitra's Deodorant makes it a breeze. A small amount goes a long way, and it's all about creating those healthy hygiene habits early on. A dab here, a dab there and they're ready to go - usually a fingertip amount provides all day protection. Neitra's deodorant rubs in smooth and isn't as irritable to young skin as deodorant stick application can be.

Neitra's deodorants empower your child by providing effective odour control, promoting a sense of confidence and self-assurance during this transitional period.

2. Long-Lasting Odour Protection: Our unique formulation of offers long-lasting odour protection, keeping tweens and teens feeling fresh throughout the day.

Scents like lavender and citrus can have mood enhancing effects, promoting a positive mindset and emotional well-being. The most popular scents for tweens and teens are: Lavender & Geranium, Petitgrain & Bergamot, Tea Tree & Peppermint and our "citrus powerhouse" - Lemon, Lime & Grapefruit.
