How do our ingredients support skin health?
Here at SomaLeaf, we use ingredients so safe and simple that they are often found in the kitchen and could be safely consumed if desired!
All of them serve a purpose and benefit skin health in some way. Let’s break down our ingredients so you can learn why they’re in our formula and how they help your skin!
Let’s start with the star ingredient:
Hemp
Hemp has been shown to help the skin in many ways thanks to the powerful cannabinoids within:
✔️ Hemp quickly absorbs into muscles and joints for calming effects. [1]
✔️ Hemp improves skin disorders, especially those caused by inflammation. [2]
✔️ Hemp can help treat several skin disorders, including eczema, psoriasis, acne, and itchiness. [3]
✔️ Hemp interacts with receptors within the skin that directly affect skin homeostasis and barrier function – two critical factors that determine skin health. [4]
✔️ Hemp is a powerful antioxidant within the skin. It has visible anti-aging effects, such as reducing fine lines and wrinkles. [5, 6]
✔️ Anti-bacterial and antifungal properties of hemp allow it to stave off common skin infections, including acne. [7, 8]
MCT oil
MCT (medium-chain triglyceride) oil has powerful antimicrobial and antifungal effects, meaning that it protects the sensitive skin prone to bacteria buildup where you sweat most. [8, 9, 10]
Corn starch
Cornstarch is a natural way to thicken formulas, creating a smooth, velvety texture that glides easily onto the skin.
Baking soda
Nature’s deodorizer, baking soda neutralizes the acid in sweat and eliminates underarm bacteria to prevent body odor from forming.
Beeswax
Beeswax softens and hydrates skin, has antiseptic properties, provides a protective barrier to the skin, and nourishes the skin with vitamin A, which helps the skin heal faster when damaged. [11]
Lavender oil
Lavender oil has been shown the keep the skin clear of skin conditions like acne while increasing wound healing and the production of collagen within the skin. [12, 13, 14]
Ginger
When applied to the skin, ginger has been shown to reduce the damage caused by the sun’s UV rays and slow the signs of skin aging thanks to its powerful antioxidant properties. [15]
Bergamot
Bergamot oil has been shown to calm the skin by boosting immunity and lowering inflammation, while the scent of the oil has been found to reduce feelings of stress and anxiety. [16, 17]
Your skin is sensitive and can be like a sponge
Research shows that your skin absorbs a high percentage of harmful chemicals, with sensitive areas such as the armpits having a 100% absorption rate! [18, 19, 20]
Large cosmetic companies like to argue that these chemicals don’t absorb into the blood, so it’s okay. But those chemicals still absorb into layers of your skin, damaging the tissue, and building up over time.
Our Whole Body Deodorants are designed to be applied to the most sensitive areas of your skin so you can feel fresh AND be protecting your skin health!
Below, we’re going to cover 7 ways that you can use your Whole Body Deodorant – from your armpits to your nether regions. It’s totally safe and healthy to use your SomaLeaf deodorant in these places!
#1 – Armpits
Your armpits! Classic deodorant spot. It’s a common sweat area. Bacteria can build up on this skin. And it’s up higher on your body, near your nose, so you can others can enjoy the nice scents offered by SomaLeaf rather than body odor.
Plus, did you know that the armpits are actually prone to irritation and rashes, especially when bacteria builds up and enters the thin skin layers here? It’s true! But by using a hemp-based Whole Body Deodorant like SomaLeaf’s, you can eliminate this bacteria before it even has the chance to cause issues.
#2 – Feet
Your feet are often hidden away, but they work hard every day, and they tend to sweat—sometimes more than other parts of your body. That sweat can lead to bacteria buildup, which is a common cause of foot odor. By applying a hemp-based whole body deodorant like SomaLeaf to your feet, you’re helping prevent that buildup and keeping odors at bay. The natural ingredients, like lavender and ginger oils, offer a refreshing, clean scent, while the soothing properties of hemp oil help keep your feet soft and protected.
Plus, this deodorant isn’t just about masking odor—it works with your body to maintain balance and freshness throughout the day. Whether you’re working long hours, running errands, or simply unwinding, using this deodorant on your feet can keep them feeling fresh and comfortable, so you don’t have to worry about any unpleasant smells when you kick off your shoes.
#3 – Private parts
This is one of those spots that’s often overlooked when it comes to deodorant, but it deserves just as much care and attention. The skin down there is sensitive and prone to irritation, and sweat can lead to discomfort or odors, especially on hot days or after physical activity. Using a hemp-based whole body deodorant like SomaLeaf can help keep things fresh without harsh chemicals. The natural oils work to balance the area’s moisture, while soothing hemp oil helps prevent irritation and discomfort.
Unlike typical deodorants, which can clog pores or disrupt your skin’s natural balance, SomaLeaf’s simple ingredients allow your skin to breathe and stay healthy. Whether you’re tackling a busy day, exercising, or just lounging, this deodorant provides a gentle yet effective solution to keep you feeling clean and comfortable, without worrying about odor or irritation down there. Your private areas deserve the same level of care as the rest of your body, and SomaLeaf makes it easy to protect them with something safe and natural.
#4 – Underboobs
The area under your breasts can be prone to moisture buildup, especially in warm weather or during physical activity. Sweat in this region can cause discomfort, irritation, and, let’s be real, sometimes odor. Applying a hemp-based whole body deodorant like SomaLeaf can help keep this delicate area dry, fresh, and irritation-free. The soothing properties of hemp oil help to calm any redness or chafing, while natural oils like lavender and ginger offer a gentle, refreshing scent without being overpowering.
Since the skin here can be sensitive, it’s important to use something that’s both effective and gentle. SomaLeaf’s simple, natural ingredients provide a balance of moisture and dryness without clogging pores or causing irritation, so you can feel confident and comfortable all day long. Whether you’re out and about, hitting the gym, or just enjoying a lazy afternoon, this deodorant helps keep you feeling fresh, cool, and ready for anything.
#5 – Beneath skin folds
Beneath skin folds can be one of those spots that needs a little extra TLC. Whether it’s around your tummy, thighs, or other areas where skin naturally folds, sweat can accumulate, leading to irritation or unwanted odors. That’s where a hemp-based whole body deodorant like SomaLeaf comes in. It helps keep the area fresh and dry while soothing any irritation caused by moisture buildup. Plus, the natural oils work to balance the skin’s moisture without being harsh or sticky.
The beauty of using a simple, natural deodorant here is that it keeps things gentle yet effective. You won’t have to worry about any uncomfortable chafing or unwanted scents, just a fresh, smooth feeling that lasts throughout the day. Whether you’re out for a walk, running errands, or lounging at home, SomaLeaf helps your skin stay comfortable and odor-free, so you can feel good in your own skin all day long.
#6 – Thighs
Thighs can be a tricky spot to keep fresh, especially if you’ve got that “thigh rub” situation going on, which leads to sweat, friction, and, let’s be honest, some discomfort. But don’t worry—this is exactly where a hemp-based whole body deodorant like SomaLeaf shines. The lightweight formula works to create a barrier that helps reduce friction, so you can walk, run, or just move freely without feeling sticky or irritated.
What’s great about using something natural on your thighs is that you’re not just preventing odor; you’re actually giving your skin a little love. The soothing hemp oil and gentle essential oils like lavender keep things calm and fresh, while the cornstarch and baking soda help absorb moisture, leaving you feeling dry and comfortable. Whether you’re heading out for a long day or just hanging out at home, a swipe of this deodorant can help make your thighs feel smooth, fresh, and ready to take on whatever you’ve got planned!
#7 – Chest, back, or neck
Your chest, back, and neck—three areas that can sometimes feel like sweat magnets, especially when you’re on the go or the weather heats up. The combination of sweat and bacteria can lead to irritation or unwanted odors, but that’s where a hemp-based whole body deodorant like SomaLeaf steps in. Applying it to your chest, back, and neck helps keep those areas fresh and dry, while the natural oils work to balance and soothe your skin, no matter how active or hot your day gets.
This is one of those areas where you really want something that’s effective without being harsh, and SomaLeaf nails it. The gentle, skin-loving ingredients help protect your skin from irritation and offer a refreshing, subtle scent that keeps you feeling cool and comfortable all day. Whether you’re out in the sun, at the gym, or just going about your day, using a natural deodorant here helps keep your chest, back, and neck feeling fresh, confident, and free of sweat-induced discomfort. You’ll feel good about your skin, inside and out!
