Noosa Basics Spray Deodorant: Lemon Myrtle — Naturally Odour-Neutralising, All-Day Freshness in a Clean Formula
Conventional deodorants often rely on aluminium salts and synthetic preservatives to do their job — Noosa Basics takes a cleaner path. This non-aerosol spray harnesses the antimicrobial power of Lemon Myrtle, an Australian native botanical renowned for its crisp citrus scent and natural odour-fighting properties, to neutralise underarm bacteria at the source. The lightweight, fast-absorbing mist leaves no residue or stickiness, simply a fresh, clean feel that lasts. It is the everyday essential for those who want effective odour protection without compromising on what they put on their skin.

Lemon Myrtle is exceptionally high in citral — a naturally occurring aldehyde compound with well-documented broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity — which disrupts the bacterial colonies on underarm skin responsible for converting sweat into malodour. Unlike antiperspirants, this formula does not block sweat glands with aluminium salts; instead it allows the skin to function naturally while targeting odour at its microbial source. The absence of propylene glycol and synthetic preservatives reduces the risk of irritation on the delicate underarm area, making this a suitable option for those with reactive or recently shaved skin. ---

- FREE OF: ALUMINIUM, PRESERVATIVES, PARABENS, PHTHALATES, PROPYLENE GLYCOL
- Those seeking an aluminium-free and clean-label alternative to conventional antiperspirants

- Eco-conscious consumers looking for a non-aerosol, naturally fragranced daily deodorant
