Nurme - sweet citrus Roll-on Deodorant - Refreshing

Nurme’s aluminum-free roll-on deodorant keeps your underarms fresh without clogging sweat glands.

Prebiotic red kapok flower extract promotes skin-friendly bacteria and helps reduce odor.

A fresh citrus scent of mandarin and sweet orange energizes you for the day. Vegan and alcohol-free.

Body odor does not come from sweat itself, but rather from microorganisms on the skin that break it down and produce odor-causing compounds.

This deodorant combats odor in several ways simultaneously, entirely without the use of aluminum:

Prebiotic red kapok flower extract alters the composition of the underarm microbiome in favor of skin-friendly bacteria, reducing the proportion of odor-causing bacteria.
Zinc ricinoleate, derived from castor oil, binds odor molecules.
Triethyl citrate, along with lactic and gluconic acid, helps maintain the skin's pH balance.
Natural essential oils—sweet orange and mandarin—provide a fresh and invigorating sensation.

How the deodorant reduces odor
Many bacteria live in the underarms. Some are skin-friendly, while others cause unpleasant sweat odor. The active ingredient in this deodorant is a prebiotic extract from the red kapok tree flower, native to West Africa. In short, it acts as food for the "good" bacteria, helping them multiply and suppressing odor-causing bacteria. This makes the development of odor less likely from the start. Here are the results of clinical studies conducted by the raw material manufacturer:

In a clinical study (28 days, roll-on deodorant, 27 men), the ratio of skin-friendly to odor-causing bacteria (*Staphylococcus*/*Corynebacterium*) increased by 489% over 28 days—a sixfold increase—and was twice as high as in the placebo group.

The level of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) responsible for unpleasant odors was reduced by 56.8% after 24 hours compared to the placebo. Regarding specific compounds, acetic acid (vinegar-like odor) was reduced by 50.9%, butyric acid (rancid odor) by 58.2%, and valeric acid (sweaty sock odor) by 65.2%.

Microbiome-friendly: The active ingredient does not reduce the total count or diversity of the underarm microflora and therefore does not harm the skin's natural ecosystem.
In laboratory tests, the adhesion of the primary odor-causing bacteria (*Corynebacterium xerosis*) to the skin surface was reduced by up to 92%. Who is this deodorant for:
