Nurses Swear By This All-Over Body Deodorant That Quells Sweat All Day Long

Whether you’re scrolling social media or binge-watching your favorite show, chances are you’ve been inundated by body deodorant ads as of late. The whole-body solution for sweat and odor has been having a moment. But just like the deodorant for your underarms, all formulas aren’t created equal. Curie knows that this is one product where trial and error just won’t cut it, which is why the brand turned its focus to creating a lineup of body deodorants that really work, but don’t contain any of the questionable ingredients that typically cause irritation. When you need to keep sweat (and the not-so-fresh smell that comes with it) at bay from morning until night, Curie’s Deodorant & Body Spray is an on-the-go option that works so well, it’s received multiple five-star reviews from nurses working 12-hour shifts. For all of the details behind the hype, keep scrolling.

If you feel like you’re sweating throughout the day, Curie’s Deodorant & Body Spray was formulated to freshen things up from your underarms to your feet. The non-aerosol mist makes it easy to spritz on the deodorant exactly where you need it without leaving behind any white marks or residue. Of course, the ingredients are really key here, and Curie developed its own “clean” standard that includes a mix of natural and lab-made ingredients — all of which have been tested and deemed both safe and effective.

To help minimize sweat and odor, the Deodorant & Body Spray decided to forgo ingredients like aluminum and baking soda. For those not in the know when it comes to deodorant, both of these ingredients have come under fire for being potentially harmful and/or irritating. To keep things simple, aluminum is found in antiperspirants because it is an active ingredient that helps to block sweat from occurring. In recent years, rumors began to surface linking the use of aluminum in antiperspirants to an increased risk of developing breast cancer, which has since been proven to be untrue. Even so, some people still prefer to skip antiperspirants entirely because they don’t like the idea of interfering with their body’s sweat process. That’s where baking soda-infused deodorants typically come in, but the “natural” ingredient has also been known to cause irritation in the form of redness, itching, and rashes.

To keep even the pickiest people happy, Curie’s body deodorant still lets you sweat, but it minimizes dampness with witch hazel and propanediol (an ingredient derived from corn sugar). Since combating sweat is only half the battle, the spray-on deodorant is also formulated with sage oil, probiotics, and triethyl citrate (an ingredient that can be synthetically created or sourced through plants) to fight odor and balance out the skin. Additionally, the Deodorant & Body Spray comes in six different scents that were created by a fragrance developer, and range from the classic Warm Vanilla to floral White Tea and citrusy Grapefruit Cassis. Even with the fragrance, Curie notes that all of their products are safe for sensitive skin.

Using the body deodorant is as easy as spritzing one or two pumps directly onto the area you’re trying to treat. And for best results, you’ll want to use it before you start sweating, while your skin is still clean and dry.
