Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is a common ingredient in many natural deodorants. While it helps neutralize odor, it can also cause irritation — especially for people with sensitive skin. If you’ve tried a natural deodorant with baking soda and ended up with redness, itching, or discomfort, you’re not alone. Let’s explore why this happens, what to look for instead, and how ZINDEO makes it simple.
Why baking soda can be a problem
-
High pH: baking soda is alkaline, while your skin is naturally slightly acidic. This imbalance can disrupt your skin barrier.
-
Irritation and rash: prolonged use may lead to redness, itching, or even burning sensations.
-
Not suitable for sensitive skin: kids, teens, and people with eczema or allergies often react badly to baking soda.
What to look for in a deodorant without baking soda
-
Zinc: naturally neutralizes odor without altering skin pH.
-
Plant oils: nourish and protect sensitive skin.
-
Herbal extracts: provide gentle antibacterial support.
-
Dermatologically tested: proven safe for daily use.
