Deodorant Raw Matter 50 g

The Raw Matter Deodorant by Greenborn is the most minimalist version of the Greenborn deodorant sticks: completely free from perfume and essential fragrance oils, baking soda, aluminum salts and kaolin. Instead, the 100% natural formula relies on zinc oxide, arrowroot, bamboo powder and plant fibers, which absorb moisture and counteract the formation of unpleasant odors without blocking natural sweating.

• Product type: solid, fragrance-free natural cosmetics deodorant stick
• Effect: supports reliable protection against unpleasant body odor without suppressing natural sweating
• Special feature: free from baking soda, fragrances, essential oils, aluminum salts and kaolin
• Fragrance: fragrance-free and neutral – ideal if you consciously want to avoid perfume
• Texture: solid and smooth, applied directly to dry underarm skin
• Key ingredients: zinc oxide, arrowroot, bamboo powder, plant fibers, as well as jojoba, castor and sunflower oils
• Quality: 100% of natural origin, COSMOS-certified, vegan, gluten-free and dermatologically tested
• Made in: developed and manufactured in Germany

This makes Raw Matter a rather rare combination among natural deodorants: free from both baking soda and fragrances. This is interesting for anyone who wants to avoid fragrances under the arms or is looking for a particularly neutral deodorant that does not compete with perfume or other body fragrances.

Jojoba, castor and sunflower oils ensure that the solid stick glides comfortably over the skin, while plant waxes give it its compact, uncomplicated texture. What remains is not a fragrance, but simply a well-cared-for, pleasantly dry feeling on the skin.

Key ingredients

• Zinc oxide: This mineral ingredient is a central part of the baking-soda-free deodorant base. It supports the control of unpleasant odor formation and also contributes to a drier feeling on the skin without blocking natural sweating.
• Arrowroot & bamboo powder: The finely ground plant powders can absorb excess moisture and thus support a pleasantly dry feeling under the arms. Together with zinc oxide and cellulose, they form the absorbent base of the formula.
• Cellulose: Plant fibers complement the moisture-absorbing ingredients and contribute to the solid, dry texture of the deodorant stick. This allows Raw Matter to be applied in a controlled manner without leaving a damp or sticky feeling on the skin.
• Jojoba, castor & sunflower oils: The plant oils give the solid formula a smooth texture and make application easier. At the same time, they nourish the underarm skin with lipids and maintain a soft feeling on the skin.
• Plant waxes & sal resin: Sunflower wax, berry wax and sal resin stabilize the formula and give the deodorant its compact stick shape. This allows it to be applied directly and sparingly to the skin.
• Activated charcoal: A small amount of finely ground activated charcoal complements the minimalist formula. It blends into the absorbent base without adding fragrance to Raw Matter.

How to use

• Apply to clean, completely dry underarm skin.
• Gently glide the stick over the skin several times.
• Use after showering or bathing, or as needed in between.
• Do not apply to irritated or damaged skin.
• Store in a cool, dry place.

Greenborn

Greenborn combines natural personal care with high standards of effectiveness, design and user experience. 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 development.

At its center is a minimalist deodorant base made from 100% natural ingredients that deliberately excludes aluminum, baking soda and kaolin. Absorbent mineral and plant-based ingredients are combined with nourishing plant oils and waxes. The deodorant sticks are COSMOS-certified, vegan, gluten-free and dermatologically tested, and are developed and manufactured in Germany.

Raw Matter showcases this idea in its most minimalist form: no fragrance composition, no essential oils and a particularly short INCI. Read more about the founder and the development of Greenborn in our interview Meet The Founder: Iben Bering.
