Deodorant Gentle Man 50 g

The Gentle Man Deodorant by Greenborn combines the uncomplicated application of a solid deodorant stick with an unusually pared-back, 100% natural formulation. Instead of relying on aluminum salts or baking soda, the deodorant uses a combination of zinc oxide, arrowroot, bamboo, plant fibers, and nourishing oils. It helps absorb moisture and counteract the development of unpleasant odors without suppressing natural perspiration.

• Product type: solid natural cosmetics deodorant stick
• Effect: supports reliable protection against unpleasant body odor without blocking natural perspiration
• Special feature: deodorant without baking soda, aluminum salts, or kaolin
• Fragrance: woody and aromatic with cabreuva, vetiver, mint, and a hint of pepper
• Texture: solid, dry, and easy to apply directly to the underarm
• Key active ingredients: zinc oxide, arrowroot, bamboo powder, plant fibers, jojoba, castor, and sunflower oil
• Quality: 100% natural origin, COSMOS-certified, vegan, and dermatologically tested

This also makes Greenborn interesting for anyone consciously looking for an alternative to baking soda in natural deodorants. The solid texture glides directly over dry underarm skin, is long-lasting, and comes without alcohol, baking soda, aluminum, or kaolin.

Gentle Man has a woody and aromatic yet pleasantly understated fragrance: cabreuva and vetiver form the warm, earthy base, mint adds freshness, and a hint of pepper provides a subtly spicy edge. Despite its name, the fragrance is not limited to men - it suits anyone who enjoys green, woody, and somewhat dry fragrance notes.

Key active ingredients

• Zinc oxide: This mineral ingredient supports the odor-controlling formulation while also contributing to a drier skin feel. Unlike an antiperspirant, the deodorant does not block natural perspiration.
• Arrowroot & bamboo powder: These finely ground plant ingredients can absorb moisture and support the deodorant stick's pleasantly dry finish. They are part of the baking-soda-free base that Greenborn uses to replace classic deodorant ingredients such as sodium bicarbonate.
• Cellulose: Plant fibers complement the absorbent formula and contribute to the stick's solid, dry texture. This allows the deodorant to be applied precisely without leaving a creamy or sticky layer behind.
• Jojoba, castor & sunflower oil: These plant oils help the solid stick glide comfortably over the skin while also caring for the stressed underarm area. Jojoba oil resembles the skin's natural lipids in structure and supports a supple skin feel.
• Plant waxes & sal resin: Sunflower wax, berry wax, and sal resin give the deodorant its solid, stable consistency. They enable classic stick application without an aerosol or liquid carrier base.
• Natural fragrance composition: Cabreuva, vetiver, mint, and pepper create an understated, woody-fresh fragrance with a slight spiciness. The fragrance is based on a 100% natural scent blend.

How to use

• Apply to clean, completely dry underarm skin.
• Gently glide the stick over the skin several times.
• Reapply during the day as needed.
• Do not use on irritated, damaged, or recently stressed skin.
• Store in a cool, dry place.

FAQ

Is Greenborn Gentle Man deodorant baking-soda-free?

Yes. Gentle Man contains no baking soda, also known as sodium bicarbonate. Instead, Greenborn uses zinc oxide, arrowroot, bamboo powder, and plant fibers, among other ingredients. This makes the stick an interesting alternative for anyone who consciously wants to avoid baking soda in natural cosmetics deodorants.

Does the deodorant contain aluminum?

No. The deodorant contains no aluminum salts and is not an antiperspirant. Natural perspiration is therefore not blocked; instead, the formula is designed to absorb moisture and counteract unpleasant odor formation.

Is Gentle Man a solid deodorant stick?

Yes. Greenborn is a classic solid deodorant stick applied directly to dry underarm skin. It requires neither a spray nor a roll-on applicator and is very long-lasting.

Is the deodorant 100% natural?

Yes. The formulation consists of 100% ingredients of natural origin and is COSMOS-certified.

Is Gentle Man only suitable for men?

Greenborn

Greenborn grew out of the search for a natural deodorant that would not feel like a compromise in terms of performance, application, or design. Founder Iben Bering developed the brand together with a team from science, product development, and clean beauty after more than three years of research and formulation work.

At its core is an unusually pared-back deodorant base made from 100% natural ingredients: without aluminum, baking soda, or kaolin, but with absorbent mineral and plant-based ingredients as well as high-quality nourishing oils. The deodorants are COSMOS-certified, vegan, dermatologically tested, and developed and manufactured in Germany. Greenborn is also characterized by the combination of functional natural cosmetics, minimalist design, and finely composed fragrances.
