How long do your natural deodorant they protects?

Do natural deodorants stain clothes?
Stains happen sometimes; it may be your body chemistry reacting to the product, or it might be the result of over-applying the deodorant, either way we got you covered
Make a light paste of hydrogen peroxide & baking soda, rub into the stain, leave on for about 5-10 minutes, then launder as usual. (also you could use only baking soda or the peroxide by itself)
Wearing looser fitting clothes prevents your skin & the deodorant from sticking, therefore causing build up & stains.
To remove oil stains base, you'll need to soak the stained area before washing in the hottest water the clothing will tolerate. Rub liquid laundry detergent or liquid dish soap onto the stained area; then toss it to the washer.
We have the stain remover treatment as an option for $2.00 dollars extra.
How different are your shampoo/soaps than your regular soaps, and can I use them in my hair too?

When I buy a beer soap (Beer Beard Shampoo)/product (beer oil-balm) will I smell like a brewery?
Not at all! Beer hops are known to soothe irritated skin, they contain polyphenols known for being antibacterial, & amino acids that soften the skin and hair, delivering crazy suds, vitamins, and proteins.
Are bars of soap covered in germs?
You bet; there are germs everywhere if you want to get technical, but it's very unlikely they will make you sick or cause a skin infection; "good" bacteria lives quite happily in the soap, that's why we get it wet, before we use it and even then is not of any concern, also you should allow the soap bar to dry between uses, making sure the natural bar lasts you longer.
If you are sharing the bar with spouse or kids, not need to worry yourself about cooties, since you probably share many of the very same microorganisms anyway.
Not matter what, there have been no detectable levels of bacteria left on the skin's surface after using a bar of soap.
Is there a proper way to wash your hands?
Yeap! rinse off the bar, wash your hands well for 20-30 secs both sides, under your nails and up to your wrists just like if you were a doctor.
Why when I receive my soaps during humid weather conditions, some of the soaps and wrappers may be damp or wrinkled from the natural “sweat” of the soaps; Why is my soap wet in the packaging/ why does soap sweat?
A quality bar of handmade soap will often “sweat” in humid weather due to the high content of natural humectants. A humectant is a substance that readily absorbs moisture from its surroundings.
When natural soap sits out in humid conditions, the glycerin in the soap will draw the moisture out of the air and onto the soap. So the sweating is actually moisture from the air that the glycerin attracts, not moisture coming from inside the soap. The more humid the environment and the more humectants in the soap, the more likely you’ll experience this phenomenon; There is nothing wrong with your soap, it’s just the glycerin and other natural humectants doing their job.
Are rainforest and orangutan habitats being destroyed to grow palm fruits for The Red Palm Oil we use?
NO. The region of Ecuador where this oil is grown, has numerous small family farms, averaging 10 hectares (about 25 acres). These subsistence farms were planted many years ago, & are now being worked by second and third generation farming families. As an organic farm,they have a very healthy environment for animal and plant life that blends with the surrounding forest.
We also use OMNI Red Palm Oil or other organically produced palm oil which uses sustainable methods and comes from plantations that have not been established at the expense of tropical forests. These companies symbiotic goals are creating jobs, investing in the education and well-being of the local community, supporting projects to develop infrastructure such as water and energy supplies, roads, buildings, health systems, education and professional training.
