How to use the NOBO bar
To use your NOBO deodorant bar, just take screw off the cap, twist from the bottom if need be and swipe it under your arms (or anywhere else you need it). Itās totally safe for your whole body, even sensitive areas.
It usually lasts around 6 to 8 weeks, depending on how often you use it.
If you have sensitive skin, try it on the inside of your arm first. Everyoneās skin is different, so stop using it if you notice any irritation (though our ingredients are super gentle for most people).
Keep your NOBO in a cool, dry spot like a soap dish. It can handle warm weather, but try not to leave it in hot places or direct sunlight.
