No. This formula is 100% aluminum-free, making it a top choice for those looking to avoid metallic salts. It is also formulated without baking soda, which is a common skin irritant in many other "natural" deodorants, making it significantly gentler for those prone to underarm rashes or sensitivity.
While it won't block your pores (sweating is a natural cooling process), it stops the smell. Sweat only stinks when it meets bacteria. Thursday Plantation uses the natural antibacterial and antifungal power of Australian Tea Tree oil to neutralize that bacteria at the source. It doesn't just mask the scent with perfume; it keeps the "environment" clean.
Expect a very fresh, medicinal, and earthy aroma. It smells exactly like crushed tea tree leaves—crisp and herbal. Because it uses real essential oils rather than heavy synthetic fragrances, the initial strong scent dissipates relatively quickly after drying, leaving you with a neutral, clean feeling throughout the day.
No. Yellow stains are typically the result of a chemical reaction between your sweat and the aluminum found in traditional antiperspirants. Since this is aluminum-free and a clear liquid (rather than a waxy white solid), it won't leave those stubborn yellow marks or chalky white residue on your favorite clothing.
