FAQ

What does aluminum-free mean?

Our formula contains no aluminum compounds. Aluminum salts are the active ingredient in antiperspirants, which work by temporarily reducing sweat. ZELORA is a deodorant: it's designed to help with underarm odor, not to stop you from sweating.

What's the difference between deodorant and antiperspirant?

Antiperspirants reduce sweat. Deodorants help with odor. ZELORA is a deodorant, so you'll still sweat naturally. Our formula is designed to keep you smelling good while you do.

How do I apply it?

Twist up a small amount and apply 2–3 gentle swipes to clean, dry underarms. If the balm feels firm, hold it against your skin for a moment to soften it. Reapply whenever you like.

Will there be an adjustment period?

If you're switching from an antiperspirant, you may feel a little damper at first, or want to reapply more often for the first couple of weeks. Everyone is different, so give your body some time to adjust.

What's in it?

Coconut oil (76°), mango butter, beeswax, arrowroot powder, kaolin clay, zinc oxide, MCT oil, jojoba oil, an essential and fragrance oil blend, vitamin E and magnesium hydroxide. The formula is made without baking soda.

Is ZELORA vegan?

No. Our formula contains beeswax.

What if my skin feels irritated?

Stop using it, rinse the area with water, and let your skin rest. If irritation continues, talk to a healthcare professional. We always recommend a patch test before first use.

My stick feels soft. Is that normal?

Yes. The formula uses coconut oil, which softens in warm temperatures. Store your stick somewhere cool. If it has gotten very soft, a few minutes in the fridge will firm it back up.
