FAQs

Can I use it anywhere besides my underarms?
Yes. The label suggests it can go on feet, the nape of the neck and other spots prone to odour, not just underarms.

What if my underarms feel sensitive?
The baking soda in this formula can cause sensitivity for some people; if that happens, try one of the baking-soda-free Routine formulas instead.
