You have to understand that you don’t just have one type of bacteria in your body; the diversity of bacteria can be compared to the diversity of plants and animals in a tropical rainforest. This plastic is then repurposed and recycled by a social enterprise in India which employs and empowers people to tackle plastic waste.

I could head to the gym, run a 5k – perhaps even walk the surface of the sun – and not one iota of sweat would leak from my eccrine glands. They don’t contain antibacterial chemicals such as triclosan which contaminates waterways and harms aquatic life.

However, this was still minimal and the issue was much more in my head than it was actually present.

Some are because of using an oil based cream or substance, like nuud, while others are of an external reason, or a combination of the two.

As such, I’m not entirely sure if Nuud’s narrative around blocked toxins and a subsequent ‘detoxifying period’ is accurate, but I guess the ending is the same: eventually, one way or another, you’ll stop smelling as bad as you once did. In India the oil has been used since at least 2000 BC, and in China too it has been used for centuries, mainly for medicinal reasons. I found out that for myself it lasts longer if I apply it right after the shower and after giving my armpits a good scrub. After four years of producing nuud and making armpits happy everywhere in the world, we incidentally hear that after using nuud lumps/bumps/pimples emerge.In an antiperspirant, the active component (aluminium) closes off the pores, and in combination with fragrances, the smell is masked, instead of prevented.

Thirdly, and lastly, and also the least satisfying reason for lumps to appear under your pits is that it happens randomly. Given 4 stars rather than five because SOMETIMES when I'm at certain points in my cycle I notice it being less effective. The cream, the micro silver carrier, transports the effective components to the right spot and keeps them in place.Nuud also contains mineral clay as well as zinc oxide (often used in baby ointments), plus other superb natural components. Since nuud's new formula is lighter and spreads more easily, be sure to gently squeeze the tube to dispense the cream, preventing an excessive amount from coming out. A deodorant, however, does not prevent sweating; it deals with the bacteria on the skin by disguising the smell. Facebook advertising has a disconcerting way of emptying my bank account; something that began with a targeted attack on my menstruation cycle. This oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, such as oleic acid and linoleic acid, which makes the oil extra gentle for your skin.
