Let’s talk about something most people avoid: Body odour. Or, as we like to call it – Stinky. He’s uninvited, persistent, and can really mess with your confidence. But don’t worry, we’ve got a gentle, natural solution that keeps Stinky away without disrupting your skin’s health. Let’s break it all down.

Causes of Body Odour

Everyone sweats – some more than others. Sweating is a natural, essential process that helps regulate body temperature and maintain health.

Once puberty kicks in, apocrine glands in the armpits, groin, and scalp become active. The sweat they produce is odourless – until it meets bacteria. That’s when Stinky shows up.

Body odour differs from person to person, influenced by:

  • Genetics, hormones, and infections
  • Diet, medications, supplements
  • Hygiene and lifestyle habits (e.g., not changing clothes often)

Certain foods contribute to body odour:

  • Sulphur-rich foods: red meat, cruciferous veggies, onions, garlic
  • Spices: coriander, turmeric, cumin, curry, chilli
  • MSG (monosodium glutamate), caffeine, alcohol
  • Choline-rich foods: fish, meat, eggs
  • Fried foods (which can oxidise fats in the body)

Other contributors:

  • Hormonal changes: menstrual cycle, menopause, pregnancy
  • Skin infections: fungal, yeast, bacterial (especially when fed by sugary diets)
  • Stress and excess sweating
  • Health conditions: thyroid issues, diabetes, obesity, liver/kidney dysfunction, constipation
  • Synthetic clothing: traps sweat, encouraging bacterial growth
  • Medications: antibiotics, allergy meds, OTC painkillers
  • Low-carb diets: ketone production increases odour
  • Magnesium deficiency
  • Hair: can trap sweat and bacteria
  • Environmental stressors: heat, humidity, urban living (less exposure to diverse environmental microbes)

Measures to Keep Stinky Away

  • Practice daily hygiene: wash armpits well
  • Use AmaSkin Natural Deodorant and Body Mist regularly
  • Avoid antiperspirants (they block your body’s natural detox process)
  • Wear natural fibres like cotton to absorb and evaporate sweat. Synthetic fibres can  trap sweat and odour
  • Wash synthetic clothes thoroughly, especially underarms

What Makes AmaSkin Natural Deodorant and Body Mist Special?

Aluminium-Free Formula

Many conventional deodorants are actually antiperspirants – which means they stop you from sweating. They do this using aluminium salts, which form gel plugs in your sweat ducts. While this stops the sweat, it traps toxins inside the body. Blocking sweat doesn’t stop odour—it disrupts your skin’s natural balance, making it worse.

Recent studies raise concerns about the long-term use of aluminium salts and their potential link to breast cancer. Aluminium has been found in higher concentrations in breast tissue and has a genotoxic profile, which means it can damage DNA and interfere with hormone function. It’s also classified as a metalloestrogen, mimicking estrogen – a known breast cancer risk factor.

No High-Alkaline Baking Soda

Many natural deodorants contain baking soda, which has a very high pH. However, your skin’s pH is slightly acidic. Using alkaline ingredients daily on this sensitive area can disrupt the skin’s microbiome and leave it vulnerable to infection, irritation, and rashes.

No Harmful Ingredients

AmaSkin Natural Deodorant contains no:

  • Petrochemicals
  • Sulfates
  • Parabens
  • Synthetic fragrances
  • Formaldehyde-releasing preservatives
  • Phthalates

Just clean, gentle, effective ingredients your body will love.

How to Make the Switch (And Stick to It)

When switching to a natural deodorant like AmaSkin Natural, your body may undergo an adjustment phase. Transitioning to natural deodorant can be a journey. You might notice an increase in odour during the adjustment phase – don’t give up!

Here’s where AmaSkin Natural Body Mist works its magic:

  • It contains hypochlorous acid, a substance your body naturally makes to fight infection and bacteria.
  • It’s perfectly pH balanced for your skin.
  • It supports your skin’s microbiome and helps you detox gently.

How to use it:

  • After your shower, spritz your armpits with AmaSkin Natural Body Mist.
  • Let it dry, then apply AmaSkin Natural Deodorant.
  • You can also spritz throughout the day if needed.

In time, your armpit microbiome will rebalance, and Stinky will be history.

Your Armpits Deserve Better

Body odour shouldn’t be something you fear or cover up with synthetic chemicals. With AmaSkin Natural, you get a deodorant and body mist duo that works with your body, not against it.

Fresh, confident, and toxin-free – that’s the AmaSkin Natural way. Bright and fresh, naturally – just the way your body was meant to be. 💚
