GREEN THEORY INGREDIENTS
GREEN THEORY long lasting deodorant uses the following ingredients in each container to combat odor and absorb wetness:
Natural Beeswax
Beeswax serves as our top ingredient due to its many virtues. Beeswax has an amazing ability to moisturize the skin due to its rich vitamin A content while at the same time, does not clog pores! Beeswax is also known for its string anti-septic qualities which helps keep odor producing bacteria to a minimum.
Arrowroot Powder
Arrowroot powder comes from the "Maranta arundinaceae" plant native to South America. It has excellent absorbent qualities that help to keep perspiration to a minimum.
Shea Butter
Shea butter comes from the nut of the Shea Tree. Shea trees are native to Africa and can take 40-50 years before reaching maturity to produce nuts. The Shea nut butter is another super skin moisturizer due to its rich fatty acid content.
Cocoa Butter
Cocoa butter comes from the cocoa bean. It is a saturated fat that is excellent for moisturizing the skin.
Coconut oil
Comes from coconuts (obviously). Coconut oil is a saturated fat known for its excellent skin penetrating and moisturizing ability. It is also antibacterial and anti-fungal which makes it great for fighting odor.
Baking Soda
Known for its odor fighting capabilities, it also has excellent moisture absorption capabilities.
Bentonite Clay
Bentonite clay comes from volcanic ash. It is a very fine, velvety powder. When the clay comes into contact with moisture, its electrical charge changes giving it the ability to absorb toxins, heavy metals, impurities and chemicals - excellent for skin health and detox from commercial deodorants! The clay has a strong capability to kill bacteria as well. Learn more about the benefits of bentonite clay here
