What do you not put in the deodorant?
No Aluminium, No aerosol gases/propellants, No Petroleum, Propylene Glycol or PEGs, No Artificial Fragrance, No Parabens or synthetic preservatives, No Tricolsan, No Phalates, No Alcohol, No GM modified ingredients.

Why does Proverb not use aluminium?
Aluminium is used to plug the sweat glands in your armpits and block them - it does this very successfully. However, the problem with this is, there has been many medical discussions about Aluminium having potentially harmful risks on your health - especially as it is being sprayed into a lymph node filled armpit. We don’t think it is worth the risk!

Will it work during sport?
Yes, we formulated it to do just that, and the years’ worth of beta testing reviews we have had back confirm this. If you do, do a lot of sport we would always suggest wearing the ACTIVE Proverb Deodorants as these have been formulated to deliver the most body odour impact.

How should I dispose of the paper wrap and sticker the refill is in?
The paper wrap and sticker can both go straight into your normal paper recycling stream or compost pile. The wrap is 100% plastic-free. The sticker adhesive and paper is biodegradable & made from sugar cane, hemp, and linen.
