Whole Body Deodorant Smooth Solid
Lume is unique for its acidified approach, using Mandelic Acid to lower skin pH and prevent odor-causing bacteria from forming rather than just masking scent. It is backed by rigorous 72-hour clinical odor control studies.
Quality & Materials
Key active is Mandelic Acid. Contains skin-conditioning ingredients like caffeine and tapioca starch. Free from baking soda and aluminum.
Evidence & Testing
Clinically proven to control odor for 72 hours. Developed by a board-certified OBGYN with extensive safety testing.
Brand Transparency
High transparency regarding the science of pH-balancing. Detailed FAQs on the biological mechanism of their formula.
Value Assessment
High value as it can be used sparingly on multiple body parts, reducing the need for separate products.
Why Not Alternatives?
Most natural deodorants try to absorb sweat or kill bacteria with high-pH baking soda; Lume works biologically by stopping the odor reaction before it starts, making it effective for 'whole body' use.
