As always, consult your doctor if you have any concerns, and do a patch test first.As with all cosmetic products, results may vary between individuals.

Firstly; watch this ! At SmellMaiPits, we create gentle, natural deodorants made to help you feel fresh and confident. SmellMaiPits is a natural deodorant designed to help control underarm odour. It is a cosmetic product for external use only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any medical condition. Natural deodorants do not stop sweating. Unlike antiperspirants, they work by helping neutralise the bacteria responsible for odour, while normal sweating may still occur. Every body — and every skin microbiome — is different, so results can vary from person to person. Factors such as diet, hormones, clothing fabrics, and individual skin chemistry may influence how deodorant performs. Some people may experience irritation when using natural deodorants, particularly if they have sensitive skin or apply too much product. Ingredients such as bicarbonate of soda or essential oils may cause irritation in susceptible individuals. We recommend performing a patch test before full use and discontinuing use if redness, soreness, or inflammation occurs. Avoid applying deodorant immediately after shaving. How to use: Apply one to two swipes per underarm per day. Using more product does not improve effectiveness and may increase the likelihood of irritation. When used correctly, a stick deodorant should last approximately 6–8 weeks. Because our deodorants are made with 100% natural ingredients and pure essential oils, slight variations in colour, scent, texture, or firmness may occur over time or in different temperatures. This is normal. Unopened deodorant typically lasts 12–24 months, and 6–12 months after opening, although natural ingredients may gradually change in scent or consistency.

This is the ultimate (and actually the only) way to test if the deodorant actually doesn’t kill your stink. Watch tutorial here: https://youtu.be/XcvsBKprweY One thing that we pride ourselves on is that, not only does our deodorant prevent you from stinking, but it will also eat any shtünk that is already present. So the only way to know if our deodorant will eat your particular brand of stink is to do the following test: Take a bath/shower before bed and do not apply any deodorant. When you wake up in the morning do not bathe and do not apply any deo BUT… Try to break a bit of a sweat. I recommend putting on a sweater or gown and then drinking a hot cup of tea/coffee. THEN: go into to the bathroom and undress on the top half of your body (NB: including your bra). Make sure you stink. Then apply our deodorant all over your armpits - making sure to capture all the patches of skin that are sweaty. The deodorant should totally neutralise the body odour smell within 60 seconds. Smell yourself again after 2 minutes. If you still stink of SWEAT then you can be sure that the deodorant does not work for your particular brand of shtünk and sweat. If you DO NOT stink (which is most likely because, science) then we know you need to treat your bra’s, towels, tops, and investigate your gut!

This is very, very, likely because of the items of clothing you are wearing! Bacteria lodges itself into the fibres of certain fabrics. Our deodorant won’t work if there is odour-causing bacteria living inside the armpit fabric of your clothing. We recommend using out Laundry Spray to kill deal with the bacteria. What you can also try is to vigorously treat it with a thick paste made of bicarb and water. Pretreat the patch of fabric by wetting it and then pouring on a generous layer of bicarb. Let it sit for about an hour and then chuck in the wash as normal. Personally, I need to repeat this once every 6-8 months. After washing, if you can put it in the sun - even better. Do this to the underarm portion of all tops (even sleeveless) and, most NB, bra’s and towels!! Using a conventional detergent will not work!! You need like for like. Bicarb will do the job correctly. You should really perform our Deo Test urgently! If this doesn't help then click here: https://www.smellmaipits.com/you-tried-my-deo-and-you-still-stink

The statutory cooling-off period under the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act does not apply to personal hygiene or cosmetic goods that, by their nature, cannot be returned once opened, used, or applied.A skin reaction, sensitivity, irritation, or variation in effectiveness — including between different scents — does not constitute a defect, as all ingredients and usage guidance are clearly disclosed prior to purchase.For purposes of the CPA, a “defect” refers to a material manufacturing fault that renders the product unsafe or unusable for its intended purpose. Individual skin sensitivity, personal reaction, texture variation, fragrance preference, graininess, or variation in consistency due to natural ingredients do not constitute a defect. The intended purpose of the product is to function as a deodorant for odour control. The product is not an antiperspirant and does not prevent sweating.

When switching to a natural deodorant, some people may experience irritation, redness, dryness, darkening of the skin, or small lumps or pimples under the arms. This is not uncommon with natural deodorants, particularly those containing sodium bicarbonate, and is usually related to skin sensitivity, pH balance, or using too much product, rather than a defect in the product. Natural deodorants can change the pH environment of the underarm, and because every person’s skin, microbiome, hormones, diet, and stress levels are different, individuals may respond differently to the same product. The most common causes of irritation are: Applying too much deodorant Applying deodorant immediately after shaving Applying deodorant to broken or irritated skin Using the deodorant in combination with other products Individual sensitivity to certain ingredients Less is more. We recommend one to two swipes per underarm per day. Using more product does not improve effectiveness and may increase the likelihood of irritation. If irritation, discomfort, or skin changes occur, stop using the product until the skin has recovered. Some customers find that using a mild acidic rinse (such as diluted vinegar) may help restore the skin’s natural pH balance. If symptoms are severe, persistent, or concerning, please consult a qualified healthcare professional or dermatologist, as persistent or severe skin conditions should be assessed by a qualified healthcare professional SmellMaiPits products are cosmetic products intended for external use only and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition. We recommend performing a patch test before full use. Individual reactions can occur with any cosmetic product, and SmellMaiPits cannot accept responsibility for reactions arising from individual sensitivities, allergies, underlying skin conditions, misuse, or use in combination with other products. Reactions to cosmetic products are typically related to individual skin sensitivity rather than a product defect. Products containing sodium bicarbonate may not be suitable for individuals with very sensitive skin.

The shtünky bacteria previously lodged in the fabric of your clothing is becoming reactivated when you wear it. Eating garlic et al. doesn’t help either, but the deo should conquer that under the arms at least. Bacteria lodges itself into the fibres of certain fabrics. Our deodorant won’t work if there is odour-causing bacteria living inside the armpit fabric of your clothing. First prize is to use our Laundry Spray. Otherwise, the fabric will need to be vigorously treated with a thick paste made of bicarb and water. Pretreat the patch of fabric by wetting is and then pouring on a generous layer of bicarb. Let it sit for about an hour and then chuck in the wash as normal. If you can put it in the sun - even better. Do this to the underarm portion of all tops (even sleeveless) and, most NB, bra’s and towels!! Using a conventional detergent will not work!! You need like for like. Bicarb will do the job correctly.

Many customers choose SmellMaiPits for their children who are beginning to experience underarm odour, particularly during early puberty.As children’s skin can be more sensitive, we recommend starting with a small amount and performing a patch test before regular use. Only a small amount is needed, as applying too much product may increase the likelihood of irritation.If your child has sensitive skin, eczema, or any underlying skin condition, it is advisable to consult your doctor or healthcare professional before using any deodorant.SmellMaiPits products are cosmetic products intended for external use only and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.

SmellMaiPits should not stain clothing more than a typical deodorant. If you are noticing oily marks on clothing, it is usually a sign that too much product is being applied. Only a small amount is needed. To treat marks on clothing, you can pre-treat the area with a paste made from bicarbonate of soda and water, or use a bar soap such as Sunlight soap. Work the soap into the fabric, leave for a period of time, and then wash as normal.

SmellMaiPits is currently available exclusively online through our website. We are a direct-to-consumer e-commerce business.

Because our deodorant is made from natural ingredients, the texture can sometimes change over time or in different temperatures. You may occasionally notice that the deodorant feels slightly crumbly or has small granules — this is normal and is caused by natural ingredients settling or firming up, and it does not affect how well the deodorant works. To apply smoothly, hold the deodorant against your underarm for a few seconds to allow your body heat to soften it, then apply one to two gentle swipes. Less is more. If the deodorant feels too firm or dry, you can leave it in a slightly warmer room for a short period, or add a very small drop of oil to the surface and allow it to absorb overnight. If the deodorant becomes too soft, store it in a cooler place for a short time. If it becomes too firm, leave it in a slightly warmer room before use.

Because our deodorants are made from 100% natural ingredients, the colour can vary slightly from batch to batch and season to season. This is mainly due to natural variations in ingredients such as beeswax, kaolin clay, and essential oils. These colour variations are normal for natural products and do not affect the quality, safety, or effectiveness of the deodorant.
