Frequently Asked Questions

 Morton Essentials aluminum-free deodorant offers long-lasting odor protection, thanks to a powerful and innovative medley of plants, minerals, and essential oils to fight odor-causing bacteria and help absorb moisture while soothing the underarm skin. Where traditional natural deodorants tend to pull from a repertoire of heavy herbal scents, Morton Essentials has scents that are light and airy, like Grapefruit, Lavender, and Clean Scent, which hold up all day and appeal to both men, women, and children. Our ingredients are all natural -- shea butter, arrowroot, Lavender oil, et cetera -- music to the ears of natural-beauty purists.  

Simply the application is different but they both work the same. The cream has an organic coconut oil base while the stick has a blend of shea butter, organic coconut oil,
and jojoba oil as the base. They are same price.  

Clean and exfoliate. It's not your sweat that stinks...it's the bacteria. Dry off any dampness. Let your skin breathe. Swipe a thin layer -- less is more.   

It lasts 24 hours without the need to reapply. Each deodorant has a shelf life of 12 months. A small amount goes a long way. 

You will sweat, but you won't smell. Your body will eventually acclimate to it and you will notice that you will sweat less than when you were using aluminum-based deodorants. Our formula uses ingredients such as arrowroot powder and baking soda, instead of aluminum to soak up moisture and neutralize odors. This is a deodorant not an anti-perspirant.  

Since our deodorant has coconut oil and jojoba oil, always let it absorb for 60 seconds before putting on your shirt. Should there be a stain, use baking soda first to absorb any excess oils. Soak garment in distilled white vinegar for about 15 minutes, rinse, and then scrub with dish soap before washing. If the stain is really set in, soak the garment in a mix of 50/50 water and hydrogen peroxide for 30 minutes. Add one cup of
hydrogen peroxide to the laundry after the washer has filled with water. Should the stain be yellow, mix hydrogen peroxide and baking soda -- not too thin, but not too thick.
Leave on for 5 minutes and launder as usual.  

Keep it at room temperature. If it melts, you can place it in your refrigerator for 20 minutes to make it solid again.  

When using our creamy formula, for the best controlled and even application, use the custom applicator that glides smoothly across the skin or your finger to create an
instant "cool" feeling that offers instant protection. We suggest starting with a pea size amount and adding more or less based on how it works on your body. For the stick, simply start with 2-3 swipes and adjust accordingly.

The creams last just as long as the sticks. They both work equally well!
