Natron neutralises odour right where it forms.
Sweat itself is odourless — it's only the bacteria on your skin that break it down and produce the typical odour compounds. Natron neutralises these chemically, without blocking your sweat pores. In our Deocreme Sensitiv it pairs perfectly with potato and corn starch.
A mineral home remedy with a long tradition
Natron (sodium bicarbonate, NaHCO₃) is one of the oldest home remedies we know — used in the kitchen, for cleaning and in natural cosmetics. Its alkaline nature neutralises the acidic compounds that form when skin bacteria break down sweat.

Which skin is Natron right for?
Natron is gentle but alkaline — with very sensitive skin, ease into it slowly.
How does Natron work on the skin?
Three mechanisms that make Natron a natural home remedy.
pH neutralisation
Acting as an alkaline, it balances out the acidic odour compounds from the sweat-and-bacteria breakdown.
Mildly antibacterial
An alkaline environment slows the growth of odour-forming bacteria.
Mildly abrasive
A very fine powder — it can gently clean by mechanical action (e.g. in exfoliants).
What can you use Natron for?
Neutralises odour without blocking sweat
For foot odour and tired feet
Mildly abrasive for blemished skin
After contact with garlic or fish
For itchy skin irritations
