Yes. The silver and zinc keep working all day long. We tested it in 90-degree heat, during intense workouts, and through stressful days. It held up every time.
Can I use it on other body parts of the body?
Yes. This is a whole body deodorant. Use it anywhere you experience odor: underarms, feet, groin, inner thighs, under breasts. The same bacteria cause odor everywhere. The same formula neutralizes them everywhere. Many people use it for multiple areas.
Will it irritate my sensitive skin?
No. There's no baking soda and no essential oils. We tested it on 50 people with sensitive skin. No reactions. If your skin couldn't handle other natural deodorants, this one is different.
How long does one jar last?
The 40g jar lasts 3 months on average, with daily use. The 10g travel jar lasts 3-4 weeks. You only need a pea-sized amount for both underarms.
What if it doesn't work for me?
Email us within 90 days and we'll refund your money. No hassle. No questions. We stand behind it 100%.
Is it tested on animals?
No. We're completely cruelty-free and vegan-friendly. Formulated in Canada.
Can I use it right after shaving?
Yes. Unlike baking soda formulas that sting and burn, this is gentle enough to use immediately after shaving.
Is it safe for teens and pre-teens?
Yes. Many parents choose Théorique for their teenagers because it's effective without harsh chemicals. It's gentle enough for young, developing skin.
Are silver and zinc safe for daily use?
Yes. The silver we use is medical-grade with particles larger than 100nm, meaning they stay on the skin surface and never penetrate or enter your bloodstream. Zinc oxide is an essential trace mineral that's safe even at much higher concentrations than what's in Théorique. Both have been extensively studied for topical use.
Will it stain my clothes?
No. When applied to clean, dry skin and massaged in properly, it won't transfer to or stain clothes. Let it dry for 30 seconds before dressing.
How much should I apply?
Start with a pea-sized amount for both underarms. Apply to clean, dry skin and massage until barely visible. Everyone's bacteria density is different, so you may need slightly more or less. Most people find their ideal amount within the first few uses.
Works for menopause and hormonal changes?
Yes. The formula is designed to handle increased sweating and odor from hormonal changes, including menopause, perimenopause, and hot flashes. It targets bacteria regardless of how much you sweat.
