Do you know what causes body odor?

Germs! 

As they build up through sweat, dirt, and  over time, you begin to carry the scent they emit. 

These germs can go everywhere, but they thrive mostly in the moist folds of your body. This is why your armpits and other moist skin creases can develop odors. If left untreated, those odors can sometimes become overwhelming.

Simply put, your body odor is caused by germs, and these germs can be in many places on your body.

Rather than relying on harsh synthetic chemicals to simply overpower odor temporarily, our deodorants are designed to work more gently with the body over time. Our goal is not just to block or cover the odor they cause, but to restore the balance over time.

We have solutions to meet every need and advice for reducing odors in the future. 

Common Questions:

Will all my odors be gone on the first day I use Alywillow deodorants?

Maybe, but not always. Some people notice immediate improvement on the very first use. Others experience a gradual transition period as the skin's environment begins to rebalance. 

For some individuals, this process may take days, weeks, or even a few months, depending on body chemistry, hormone balance, stress levels, diet, medications, environment, and overall skin condition.

If odors continue to persist, many customers notice greater improvement when combining Alywillow deodorants with WARRIOR products as part of their daily cleansing and moisturizing routine.

Also, some people simply require a stronger deodorant formula. If RAINDROP is not strong enough for your needs, we often recommend upgrading to our TRIPLE STRENGTH deodorant.

When the odor returns, simply wash the area and reapply. Always shake the bottle well, spray into clean hands, and rub gently onto clean skin.

At Alywillow, our goal is not simply to cover odor temporarily — but to support a healthier, long-term skin environment through gentle, whole-plant care.

Do we use Aluminum in our deodorants?

No. Instead, we have designed a series of formulas that kill the germs that cause odors using only plants, no synthetic chemicals, and no aluminum.

Will Alywillow deodorants cause a rash or damage my skin?

No. Even though our products can kill the germs causing odors, they do not damage your skin like so many other 'natural' deodorants (unless you have an allergy to one of the plants). If you have known plant allergies, please check our ingredients list and tell us what to avoid. We'll send you a customized report.

Can I use Alywillow deodorants on all areas of my body, or just my armpits?

Yes, you can use them everywhere. They are so safe that our cleansers, moisturizers, and deodorants can be used even for feminine hygiene.

Do you have a solid bar that I can rub on?

No, we don't recommend rubbing a solid deodorant onto your skin. It will pick up these germs repeatedly and continually re-infect your skin. You can't see the germs, but they can go almost everywhere. 

How do I order your products?

Can I use your products even if I am pregnant?

If you are hypersensitive, pregnant, or nursing you can use our RAINDROP DEODORANT and WARRIOR cleansers and moisturizers. See our pregnancy page for more info.

Which product is right for me?

We have many options, and the specific product and usage you choose depends on your stink level.

How stinky are you?

MILD ODORS

• Apply TRIPLE STRENGTH DEODORANT according to the instructions, and reapply when needed - after a workout, etc...

SEVERE ODORS

Do you stink even after showering? We can usually stop those odors, too, but you'll need to follow all the steps and consider what is causing the odor in the first place.

1. STEP 1: Use WARRIOR UDC as a pre-soak a few minutes before showering.
2. STEP 2: Wash and/or moisturize daily with Sagerow | Warrior | Wildwood. They have natural odor fighting abilities
3. STEP 3: After washing, apply 3XD (Triple Strength Deodorant) according to the instructions, and reapply when needed.

What else can you do to reduce Body Odor?

1. Drink plenty of water. It helps flush the toxins from your body and reduces the odor. How much to drink? Take your weight in lbs, divide that by 2, and turn that number into ounces. For instance, 200 pounds, divided by 2 = 100 ounces
2. Limit your daily Intakes of... spices, prepared meats (pepperoni, salami, pastrami), and sugars. These can all cause excessive odors.
3. Reduce points of re-contamination. Germs may be stuck in your shoes, clothing, and socks. Either throw them away or spray them with our DisinfectNOW to enjoy a germ-free experience. You can also add FORTIFY into your washing machine to keep the germs while washing your clothes.
4. Increase your herbal tea intake. Burdock Tea, Red Clover Tea, and Astragalus Tea are especially helpful in supporting your body's natural environment over time.

Stinky Shoes:

It seems every family has someone with stinky shoes and feet! No worries. We've got you covered. Just spray these smelly things with DisinfectNOW and enjoy a new fresh scent. Please encourage those feet to only to wear white socks (not black ones), to air dry whenever possible, and to spray their shoes with DisinfectNOW nightly.  You can also use our deodorants on feet to keep the germs at bay.

Mask Odors and Maskne (face acne caused by masks)

Ever put your mask on and think "yuck'!  These odors caused by our breath can be horrendous.  Just spray your mask with Alywillow's DisinfectNOW. and sniff again.... it smells nice now!  That's because it kills the odors that are causing the smells. You can also use DisinfectNOW to disinfect your hands, face, and surfaces around you. As a bonus, using the DisinfectNOW on your face and mask can reduce maskne issues (the acne caused by wearing a mask), but you can also follow our anti-acne guidelines to keep your skin clear and healthy.
