Acid deodorant: natural protection that respects your skin

In the world of natural deodorants, there's a big difference between formulas that truly care for the skin and those that, while appearing healthy, end up being aggressive. One of the most innovative and safe approaches is that of acid deodorant, a type of deodorant that regulates the skin's pH instead of altering it.

At Maxalli, we developed a citrus deodorant formulated with triethyl citrate, a natural active ingredient that keeps the skin's pH in balance, effectively prevents bad odor, and is much safer for sensitive armpits.

What is an acid deodorant?

An acid deodorant is one that works by maintaining the skin's pH at a slightly acidic level (around 5.5). This is important because:

• A natural acidic pH inhibits the growth of odor-causing bacteria.

• It strengthens the skin's protective barrier, preventing irritation.

• It is more respectful of delicate areas like the armpits.

Triethyl citrate: the key active ingredient in Maxalli

Triethyl citrate is a natural derivative of citric acid that acts by regulating the skin's pH and preventing bacteria from degrading sweat, which avoids bad odor. Unlike other ingredients, it does not clog pores or interfere with natural perspiration.

In our Maxalli deodorants, triethyl citrate is the heart of the formula, offering:

• Real long-lasting effectiveness (12 hours minimum).

• Respect for sensitive skin.

• Natural odor neutralization, without blocking sweat.

Why not use baking soda or magnesia on armpits?

Many natural deodorants on the market use baking soda or magnesium hydroxide (magnesia) to neutralize odors. Although they may work initially, they have significant side effects:

• Alkaline pH (8–9): alters the skin's natural balance.

• Irritation: causes redness, burning, or flaking, especially with constant friction in the armpits.

• Skin discoloration: chronic irritation can lead to hyperpigmentation.

That's why at Maxalli, we avoid these ingredients and opt for a much safer alternative: acid deodorant with triethyl citrate.
