HERO - Silver
Neutralises the bacteria that cause nasty body odour for days at a time. The Silver we use is 99,9% pure metallic silver (not nano or colloidal silver).
Triethyl Citrate
Contains enzymes that break down the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other substances that cause unpleasant body odour, effectively reducing and preventing body odour.
Kaolin Clay
Acts as a natural, gentle absorbent to soak up moisture and sweat, helping to keep underarms dry. It also neutralises odour, provides a smooth, non-irritating texture for sensitive skin, and helps draw out impurities.
Zinc Ricinoleate
Derived from castor oil, it neutralises odour by trapping odour molecules rather than blocking sweat glands (like aluminium) or killing beneficial skin bacteria. It is highly regarded as a natural, non-irritating alternative for sensitive skin.
