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). It’s totally safe for your whole body, even sensitive areas.
One tube 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. Everyone’s 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. It can handle warm weather, but try not to leave it in hot places or direct sunlight.

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 odor, effectively reducing and preventing body odor.
Kaolin Clay
Acts as a natural, gentle absorbent to soak up moisture and sweat, helping to keep underarms dry. It also neutralizes odor, provides a smooth, non-irritating texture for sensitive skin, and helps draw out impurities.
Non-Nano Zinc Oxide
Safe, soothing, and effective alternative to aluminium and baking soda, primarily to neutralise odour-causing bacteria. Being non-nano (nm) ensures particles remain on the skin's surface without entering pores.
