Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is a common ingredient in many natural deodorants. While it can help manage odor, it may also cause discomfort — especially for people with sensitive skin. If you’ve tried a natural deodorant with baking soda and experienced redness, itching or irritation, you’re not alone. Here’s why this can happen, what alternatives to consider and how ZINDEO keeps things simple.
Why baking soda can be a problem
High pH: baking soda is alkaline, while the skin’s surface is naturally more acidic. This difference can feel uncomfortable for some people.
Irritation: prolonged use may lead to redness or itching.
Not ideal for sensitive skin: kids, teens and people prone to sensitivity may react more strongly to alkaline ingredients.
What to look for in a deodorant without baking soda
Zinc: helps reduce odor without affecting the skin’s natural balance.
Plant oils: provide a smooth, comfortable application.
Botanical extracts: add a naturally inspired touch.
Dermatologically tested formulas: offer reassurance for daily use.
Why ZINDEO is different
