Reducing plastic is good. Reducing chemicals is even better! That is why our OLA Bamboo Natural deodorant (made in Canada) is our new favourite. Its recyclable cardboard packaging allows us to eliminate the plastic containers of regular deodorants, which often are not even recyclable. What’s more, it’s a highly effective product free of aluminium, parabens and—for women who have reactions to —baking soda.

Store at a temperature between 4 and 30 degrees Celsius.

Use your index and middle fingers to press the cardboard under the packaging to push the deodorant stick out. You may need to keep your fingers inside when applying it to keep the deodorant from slipping back down.

Apply a thin layer under your armpits. Do not apply to broken skin.

Does OLA Bamboo Natural deodorant contain baking soda?

No, our Natural deodorant doesn’t contain baking soda. We chose tapioca starch, which is gluten-free and shouldn’t cause rashes. Our deodorant also contains cornstarch to help absorb moisture.

Should the deodorant be used quickly after opening?

There is no time limit for use after opening OLA Bamboo Natural deodorant. There is simply an expiration date on the bottom of the tube. The deodorant lasts up to two years after production.

Is OLA Bamboo Natural deodorant vegan?

Our deodorant contains Canadian beeswax, so it is not considered vegan. Note that the use of beeswax is a good thing because it allows beekeepers to continue raising bees and helps conserve them.

Is OLA Bamboo Natural deodorant an antiperspirant?

Our deodorant does not prevent sweating, so it is not an antiperspirant. However, it does contain natural products that will help absorb moisture and control odours, such as cornstarch, tapioca starch, coconut oil and zinc ricinoleate.

Is OLA Bamboo deodorant 100% natural?

Our deodorant is 98.5% natural because it contains a small amount of perfume and a preservative. See the ingredients on the product page.

Why is the deodorant’s cardboard tube not completely full?

Each tube contains 42 grams of deodorant as stated on the packaging. We do not completely fill the container because the weight of the deodorant would prevent it from remaining at the top of the tube if it were too heavy. We nevertheless chose these tubes because deodorant needs to be a specific width for comfortable application on the armpits and to make it clearly visible on shelves. It is standard practice in the industry not to completely fill containers so that they take up more space on shelves. Because we want to have good visibility alongside plastic deodorants, we had no choice but to select a tube with a specific height. Our tube is 100% recyclable and contains no plastic.

What do I do with the tube when the deodorant is used up?

The cardboard tube is recyclable. Before putting it in the recycling bin, be sure to remove the remaining deodorant by rinsing the tube with hot water. If needed, you can scrub a little with your fingers or a brush.
