The best aluminium-free, natural deodorant (that actually works)
Kanvas Beauty handpicks our favourite natural deodorant that keeps your delicate pit skin happy, clean and smelling great.
Is it time to ditch aluminium anti-perspirants? Anti-perspirants and deodorants are essential to a functioning society and being your best sexy self (let’s face it, body odour kills a vibe).
Unfortunately, many contain aluminium as an active ingredient. What’s bad about this is that aluminium is a known neurotoxin. Neurotoxins essentially damage your nervous system. Alarmingly, aluminium in particular has been linked to a number of diseases - breast cancer, bone disorders and even Alzheimer's.
If it’s so dangerous, why is aluminium still used in hygiene products? There have been several credible studies indicating a link between aluminium and various health issues. However, whether or not the amount permitted in anti-perspirants poses a serious risk is still up for debate. With that said, it has not been definitively ruled out - which is why many of us are opting for a more natural alternative.
These days, there are a growing number of options which are just as effective (if not more) in neutralising body odours than their aluminium counterparts. After much trying and testing, the team at Kanvas Beauty has a clear winner: and that's Nuud.
Not only does this product work, but it goes above and beyond your standard bathroom cabinet deo.
Nuud – Best for active bodies
This vegan deodorant paste is so effective, one application lasts for 3 days (please don’t go without a shower for that long though). No wonder over half a million tubes have been sold. Nuud actually neutralises odours with micro-silver, instead of just covering it up with fragrance. In fact, Nuud is aluminium, paraben, petrochemical and perfume free. Our favourite part is that it’s packaged an environmentally friendly sugarcane tube (no single use plastics here).

*If you want to know whether there's aluminium in your antiperspirant/deodorant, look out for aluminium chloralhydrate or aluminium zirconium tetrachlorohydrex in the ingredients list.

Skin Burns After Skincare? It May Be a Damaged Skin Barrier!
How to repair a damaged skin barrier (from someone who has had to repair their skin barrier multiple times)
Skin irritations and allergies are never fun, but a damaged skin barrier is a whole new level of hell. The good news, is that our skin is a resilient organ and can heal relatively quickly. The not-so-good news is that you'll need to peel back all your fancy skincare for the time being, get consistent with a simple routine, and resist putting any active ingredients on your skin until it heals. You can do it, let's get into it!
Beauty of Joseon's Revive Eye Serum: Does it live up to the hype?
This is the first eye cream I ever used to completion
Listen, I've always been a bit sketchy on eye creams and serums. Are they actually necessary? Do you even need one? Why are they so tiny but so expensive? I'll be honest: I didn't bother during my 20s and early 30s. If it was good enough for the rest of my face, it was good enough for my eye contour area! Then my late 30s hit me like a trout slap in the face, and so did the sudden dryness, fine lines, and pilling if I dared to wear makeup.
The Best Eye Cream? We've tried it
The Best Eye Cream? We've tried it
What does an eye cream do? Well, it pretty much does what a moisturizer would. It can hydrate, soothe, treat fine lines, hyperpigmentation, etc. So do eye creams really make a difference? And is an eye cream really better than moisturizer for your face? The answer is, they can indeed make a difference to your skin AND they can be better.
