FAQ

Fragranced deodorants can mask body odour as well as aspects of your individual scent. An antiperspirant reduces sweating. An anti-odorant like ZINDEO does not block sweating – it supports the skin microbiome while targeting the bacteria associated with body odour. Your natural scent and unpleasant body odour are not necessarily the same thing.

How does an anti-odorant work? →

Yes. ZINDEO Fragrance-Free Anti-odorant Cream was clinically tested on people with strong body odour. 11 of 12 people had less body odour 24 and 48 hours after the last application. The reduction was still statistically significant 72 hours after the last application (after 6 days of use).

Read the clinical testing results.

No. ZINDEO does not block sweating. You continue to sweat naturally while the routine focuses on controlling body odour.

You don't have to wait weeks to see results. In a clinical test, a reduction in body odour was measured after six days of once-daily use of the Fragrance-Free Anti-odorant Cream, and some customers notice a difference from the very first days.

Switching from a conventional deodorant or antiperspirant is a different process. In our experience since 2013, the ZINDEO RESET takes from several weeks to around three months.

Antiperspirants reduce sweating. Once you stop using them, sweating returns to its natural pattern.

From our long-term experience, we know that some customers may initially experience stronger or less predictable odour, or notice more skin moisture.

That is why we recommend following the correct routine regularly during the ZINDEO RESET. If you experience stronger body odour, we recommend the complete RESET SET MAX routine.

Based on our experience since 2013, the ZINDEO RESET – your first 3 months – has two practical stages, followed by maintenance.

Month 1 — adaptation: odour and moisture may be less predictable.

Months 2–3 — stabilisation: for many customers, use gradually becomes more stable and it becomes easier to find the frequency that works for them.

From month 4 — maintenance: after the RESET, many people gradually reduce application frequency according to their needs, as long as body odour stays under control.

Every ZINDEO RESET is individual.

No. None of the ZINDEO products – the Anti-odorant Cream, the Roll-on and SALSOAP® – contains aluminium salts or baking soda.

The Anti-odorant Cream is the key product of the ZINDEO routine. Based on our experience, it offers more intensive and longer-lasting odour control than the Roll-on, so we recommend it for stronger body odour. Its Fragrance-Free variant is clinically and dermatologically tested. The Fragrance-Free Roll-on dries quickly and suits milder body odour and everyday use. RESET SET MAX combines both.

Choose the Fragrance-Free Anti-odorant Cream if you prefer a formula with no added fragrance, essential oils, alcohol, baking soda or aluminium salts. In a dermatological patch test, 25 of 25 volunteers had no skin reaction, and the cream was classified as not irritating.

How to choose a deodorant for sensitive skin →

Yes. ZINDEO Anti-odorant Cream can be used on areas prone to unwanted body odour, including underarms, feet, under breasts, inner thighs, skin folds, and external groin areas.

Apply a small amount to clean, dry skin. Avoid eyes, mucous membranes, and irritated or broken skin.

ZINDEO SALSOAP® can also be used to wash the body and feet.

ZINDEO does not contain aluminium salts, which can contribute to yellow stains and hardened residue on clothing.

If too much Anti-odorant Cream is applied, it may leave a temporary white powdery mark on dark clothing. Apply only a small amount, let it absorb before getting dressed and follow your recommended routine.

Based on customer experience, a 15 g jar lasts about 3–6 months at first, depending on how much and how often you apply it. Long-term customers often make one jar last up to 12 months. Apply a very small amount of Cream in a thin, almost invisible layer. A little goes a long way.

The cream does not melt even on hot summer days. In an 8-month laboratory stability test, its appearance in the original jar did not change, even at 40 °C. The compact 15 g jar is the regular size, so you can take the same jar with you when you travel.

The Anti-odorant Cream comes in a refillable jar. Choosing a refill instead of a new jar uses less packaging and reduces the cost of continued use. We have offered Anti-odorant Cream refills and reusable jars since 2019.

First, check that you are using the correct routine regularly. From our experience: during the first weeks, don't combine ZINDEO with other deodorants or antiperspirants, and prefer cotton clothing – residues of previous products in fabrics can make odour harder to judge.

If you are using RESET SET START and the odour is still strong during the first few weeks, add the Roll-on in the evening and switch to the RESET SET MAX routine. Based on our experience, customers with stronger body odour often need the complete routine.
