Allergen-free liquid deodorant launched

US-based ingredients manufacturer CoValence has launched a liquid deodorant free of inflammatory ingredients or allergens that is suitable for all skin types.

The deodorant Pit Stop is applied in the liquid form, coating the armpit whilst still allowing the skin to breathe.

Botanicals

One of the ingredients used is Moringa Pterygosperma seed extract, a botanical peptide extracted from the Moringa seed found native to Africa and Asia.

The Moringa seed extract apparently aids in cleansing and purifying the skin whilst protecting it from damage caused by environmental pollutants and free radicals by repelling dirt and debris.

Active ingredients

It also consists of the following ingredients, Hamamelis Virginiana Water (witch hazel) and Sodium bicarbonate.

According to CoValence, the witch hazel has been added as an ingredient as it soothes and heals problem skin conditions and because it acts as an astringent, purifying the skin.

It also has anti-oxidant properties which supposedly renders it effective at cleansing and protecting.

The company claims the other ingredient sodium bicarbonate is crucial to its formulations as it has a long standing reputation as the most effective odor eliminator and is found in most homes.
