What the gurus are saying

Gurus appreciate the formula's inclusion of niacinamide for oil control and glycerin for hydration, plus the absence of baking soda for sensitive skin. The main caution is fragrance content, which can irritate skin folds and potentially worsen odor; fragrance-free versions may perform better. Overall, the product delivers on moisture absorption benefits, though effectiveness depends on individual skin sensitivity and fragrance tolerance.

"Over the past few years, there has been a rise in popularity of these whole body deodorants. Starting with Lumi, as well as now you've got them from Dove, Secret. Everybody has got a whole body deodorant these days. These products tend to be formulated with ingredients that may help absorb excess moisture. They're offering some of the benefits that you might get from a powder without turning cakey or becoming abrasive to the skin surface. They also have ingredients in them that in theory help to maintain the acidic nature of the skin barrier, ultimately promoting a healthier skin microbiome, reducing the burden of bacteria that cause you to stink. These products often have fragrance in them, which is a common skin allergen, especially in the skin folds where you have greater exposure to it because of the friction, the occlusion, the sweat leads to greater penetration. And honestly, these fragrance compounds they can end up making you smell even worse in my experience. But some of these whole body deodorant products are fragrance-free and they do help to cut down on the accumulation of moisture and perhaps help to facilitate a better skin microbiome."

"This Dove one is the Vitare and this actually has vitamin B3 otherwise known as niacinamide and what's great about that is that niacinamide can balance out our oil production which yes can also help in the armpits and anywhere else that you apply this. This also has hydrators like glycerin which are pretty nice. I do like that this is baking soda free because I've actually found that my skin can be a little bit irritated by baking soda."
