Frequently Asked Questions
Product
How do you properly apply Elemental Deodorant to your underarms?
Apply a small amount to your underarms using the applicator. For best results, apply to clean, dry underarms.
How do you make Elemental Deodorant?
Elemental Deodorant is handcrafted in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA. Ingredient sourcing can vary by lot, so the current product label is the authority for the exact ingredient list.
What's Elemental Deodorant made out of?
The formula uses magnesium hydroxide with water, witch hazel, arrowroot powder, coconut oil, glycerin, tocopherol, lecithin, and xanthan gum. NUR also contains its current fragrance blend. See the product label for the exact ingredient list for the bottle or refill you receive.
Why does Elemental Deodorant work so well?
Elemental Deodorant works so well because it uses magnesium hydroxide — Earth's natural deodorizer — to neutralize odor, with arrowroot to absorb wetness and coconut oil and witch hazel to keep skin comfortable.
Is Elemental Deodorant aluminum-free, paraben-free, and phthalate-free?
Yes. The current formula is aluminum-free, paraben-free, and phthalate-free. Ingredient sourcing includes both organic and non-organic lots, so we do not describe the finished product as certified organic. See the current label for the exact formula.
Does Elemental Deodorant contain any synthetic fragrances or artificial colors?
See the current product label for the exact fragrance and color ingredient list; ingredient sourcing can vary by lot.
How is Elemental Deodorant different from conventional deodorant?
Elemental is a magnesium-hydroxide deodorant rather than an aluminum antiperspirant. The current formula is aluminum-free, paraben-free, phthalate-free, and baking-soda-free. See the current label for the exact ingredient list.
How is Elemental Deodorant different from other aluminum-free deodorants?
Elemental Deodorant is built around magnesium hydroxide. The current formula is aluminum-free, paraben-free, phthalate-free, and baking-soda-free, with refillable packaging designed to reduce repeat packaging. See the current label for exact ingredients.
How is Elemental Deodorant different from other all-natural deodorants?
Elemental uses a short magnesium-hydroxide formula and a refillable bottle system. Ingredient sourcing can vary by lot; see the current product label for the exact formula rather than relying on a blanket sourcing claim.
How is Elemental Deodorant different from other organic deodorants?
Elemental pairs magnesium hydroxide with supporting absorbent and skin-feel ingredients. Ingredient sourcing can vary by lot; see the current product label for the exact formula.
How is Elemental Deodorant different from other magnesium-powered deodorants?
Elemental pairs magnesium hydroxide with supporting absorbent and skin-feel ingredients in a short formula. See the current product label for the exact ingredient list.
What's the difference between magnesium deodorant and aluminum antiperspirant?
Aluminum antiperspirants work by blocking sweat glands. Magnesium deodorant works differently: it lets you sweat naturally and neutralizes the odor instead. Elemental uses magnesium hydroxide for odor control, so you stay comfortable without aluminum and without blocking your body's natural perspiration.
Does Elemental Deodorant contain baking soda?
No. Many natural deodorants rely on baking soda, which can irritate sensitive underarm skin. Elemental uses magnesium hydroxide instead — it controls odor while staying gentle on skin, which is why people with sensitive skin often do well with it.
Does aluminum-free deodorant actually work?
Most aluminum-free deodorants fail because they only mask odor. Elemental is built around magnesium hydroxide, which neutralizes odor at the source while arrowroot powder absorbs moisture. Customers consistently report it holds up through workouts, heat, and long days — it's the reason Elemental exists: natural deodorant that actually works.
How does the refillable system work?
Your first Elemental deodorant comes in a glass bottle with an applicator. When it runs low, order a refill pouch, refill the bottle, and reuse it — no need to throw away a container every month. Refills cost less than a new bottle and cut down packaging waste. Subscribers get refills delivered automatically on their schedule.
Does Elemental Deodorant provide a 100% satisfaction guarantee?
Yes, we stand behind our products 100%. If you're not completely satisfied with your purchase, please contact our customer service team for a full refund within 30 days of receiving your product.
