PRODUCT INFO
↓Why the price?
Yep-it’s seems a bit more expensive than normal deodorant, but at approx. 16p a day on subscription, it pays for itself in a matter of weeks as it really lasts. It’s is 70g, not 40-45g like some of our competitors, as to be genuine sustainable and save packaging you need to be bigger, not smaller. It will last on average 2.5 months, a little goes a really long way. A typical spray deodorant only lasts on average 3-4 weeks. If you subscribe your refill is reduced to £12 currently instead of £17.
Remember, we have a no-quibble 30-day money back guarantee too so there is no risk trying the refillable deodorant.

How to use
Use once a day, apply to both armpits. We would suggest you glide it lightly up and down no more than 4 times, a little goes a long way. People as a rule tend to try and use too much, remember less can be more!
Will it work?
Yes, this has been 3 years in the formulation and you will be getting rendition 89 !! You only have to look at the reviews that are mounting up.
The 2 Kirstie’s ( one with a Y and one with an IE) who have formulated this have never spent so long on one single product (and they have made a lot of products!) There has been no rushing, no stone left unturned as it is pretty dammed evident if a deodorant doesn’t work, there is no hiding. Their remit was the holy grail- a natural deodorant that works, isn’t hard to glide on, that could work on sweaty sports people but also crazy sensitive skins, that refilled and could last out of a pack and that did good for the planet and other people.
PROVERB always has a no quibble 30-day guarantee so if you’re not happy with it for any reason just tell us and we will refund it for you, no questions asked. Problem solved.

Sustainability
LESS SINGLE USE PLASTIC -
The core of this concept - natural ingredients only. Refills are wrapped in special protective paper that then goes back into normal paper recycling or your compost heap. Each time you refill reduce you save a full deodorant can or plastic outer from being landfill or ocean-bound. That is a significant impact when on average people by 10-12 deodorants a year, starting from their early teens.
MAKING IT MORE NAKED -
After your first-order, you can opt-out of the recyclable paper box your refill comes in so it arrives ‘naked’ in just it's paper. For 15 years, we have tried to pave the way in vegan, sustainable beauty products. The job is never done, we are always improving every element of our sourcing, production, and supply chain.
DOING GOOD -
Proverb is proud to be a WaterAid partner. When we crowdfunded the initial deodorant concept in 2019 they were amazing, they supported us despite being a young, unknown brand allowing their logo to be on pack - that normally only happens to big brands. We are committed to at minimum giving them 10% a year of our annual profits. Proverb was created to improve the health of our customers, the planet, and other people. Our Proverb Hand Sanitiser donates 'one for one' and there will be much more to come from us to help protect the oceans and reduce single-use plastic waste.

INGREDIENT LISTS YOU UNDERSTAND
Armpits - they are a sensitive area of skin and you apply deodorant there daily, if not more. It’s worth knowing what you are putting on them, as well as knowing that it is made by people that have spent their life in skincare.
3 Strength & Sensitivity Levels
Proverb understands skin. One natural deodorant formula does not fit all. Years of skin care expertise have lead to our 3 different levels of Refillable Deodorant. Level 1) ACTIVE = our formula designed for a busy life or changing from a regular deodorant/antiperspirant. These have a yellow active sticker and are the most powerful. Level 2) CORE = all of our fragranced active options without baking soda ( sodium biocarbonate), for those who have allergies to it, people who don't really struggle with BO and for teen armpits and first time deodorant users. Level 3) SENSITIVE = for super sensitive armpits. No baking soda and a gentler base formula to care for delicate skin. Full INIC ingredient lists are listed in the FAQ Product Formulation below and on the deodorant product pages.
Chia & Broccoli Seed Oil
To help support delicate, easily irritated skins. Chia, the richest plant source of omega 3 is a powerful anti-inflammatory while Broccoli seed oil has a highly impressive omega fatty acid and vitamin C content to deeply moisturise.
Candelilla, Carnauba & Bayberry Wax
Plant-based waxes, vegan alternatives to beeswax - to create the deodorant stick. They also help soften the skin and make it glide on easily. Bayberry wax is an aromatic green vegetable wax. It is removed from the surface of the fruit, from the bayberry shrub - smelling beautiful (a bit like a forest) and is part of your wax stick structure.
Tapioca Starch
Crucial to helping you feel dry. From the root of the Cassava plant.
Cornflour & Arrowroot
A kitchen staple but also a natural, safe alternative to absorbing the moisture that gets trapped on the skin. Cornflour is used in all our core range of deodorants but not the sensitive ones where we use Arrowroot instead. Both help ensure you stay dry all day long.
Natural Deodorising Complex
Our unique combination of natural deodorisers that are delivering serious efficacy. We never made this comparing it to other Natural deodorants. Our aim was for it to compete with the likes of Sure and Mitchum. Do we use Baking Soda? 2 of our 5 deodorants have a small % - the Active deodorants, not the others. You are used to it in your cakes, scones and cookies but it also it kicks ass in fighting and neutralising body odour. Some people can be sensitive to it, hence our deodorant options without it.
OUR 100% NATURAL FRAGRANCES
Kickstart your morning routine with your favourite or switch it up to suit your day ahead.

What do you not put in the deodorant?
No Aluminium, No aerosol gases/propellants, No Petroleum, Propylene Glycol or PEGs, No Artificial Fragrance, No Parabens or synthetic preservatives, No Tricolsan, No Phalates, No Alcohol, No GM modified ingredients.
Why does Proverb not use aluminium?
Aluminium is used to plug the sweat glands in your armpits and block them - it does this very successfully. However, the problem with this is, there has been many medical discussions about Aluminium having potentially harmful risks on your health - especially as it is being sprayed into a lymph node filled armpit. We don’t think it is worth the risk!
Will it work during sport?
Yes, we formulated it to do just that, and the years’ worth of beta testing reviews we have had back confirm this. If you do, do a lot of sport we would always suggest wearing the ACTIVE Proverb Deodorants as these have been formulated to deliver the most body odour impact.
Product Packaging
How should I dispose of the paper wrap and sticker the refill is in?
The paper wrap and sticker can both go straight into your normal paper recycling stream or compost pile. The wrap is 100% plastic-free. The sticker adhesive and paper is biodegradable & made from sugar cane, hemp, and linen.
How do I fill my case & change my refill?
We have a quick video to show you ‘how to start and use your deodorant for the first time and how to refill’.
Watch how to refill video here.
How do I clean my outer reusable case?
Your case can be washed and is also dishwasher safe.

What do you not put in the deodorant?
No Aluminium, No aerosol gases/propellants, No Petroleum, Propylene Glycol or PEGs, No Artificial Fragrance, No Parabens or synthetic preservatives, No Tricolsan, No Phalates, No Alcohol, No GM modified ingredients.
Why does Proverb not use aluminium?
Aluminium is used to plug the sweat glands in your armpits and block them - it does this very successfully. However, the problem with this is, there has been many medical discussions about Aluminium having potentially harmful risks on your health - especially as it is being sprayed into a lymph node filled armpit. We don’t think it is worth the risk!
Will it work during sport?
Yes, we formulated it to do just that, and the years’ worth of beta testing reviews we have had back confirm this. If you do, do a lot of sport we would always suggest wearing the ACTIVE Proverb Deodorants as these have been formulated to deliver the most body odour impact.
Product Packaging
How should I dispose of the paper wrap and sticker the refill is in?
The paper wrap and sticker can both go straight into your normal paper recycling stream or compost pile. The wrap is 100% plastic-free. The sticker adhesive and paper is biodegradable & made from sugar cane, hemp, and linen.
