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.

My Axiology Fungdation Review (with swatches)
An honest Axiology Foundation Review.
We saw the promo for Axiology's new mushroom-infused foundation. It's called Fungdation and it looked so good! Kellie couldn't wait to try it. Here's what she thought, as well as pics on how it looks on the skin. TLDR; it isn't for everyone, but which foundation is? If your skin type and texture preference matches the Fungdation profile, you'll never look back.
How to get rid of Strawberry Skin on legs
Got Strawberry Skin on your arms and legs?
Harmless but annoying, 'strawberry skin' usually arises after shaving or some form of hair removal that exposes the hair follicle or a clogged pore to oxidization (thereby turning it dark). It could also be an excess buildup of skin or keratin around the hair follicle (i.e. keratosis pilaris).Honing in on what triggers it for you is the key to preventing it in the future - along with the right skincare routine.
