The essential edit

Sweat is normal. Odour is negotiable.

Sweat itself is normal and largely odourless; odour develops when skin microorganisms metabolise components of perspiration. UN/05 targets odour rather than pretending the body should not sweat. Magnesium hydroxide and triethyl citrate help create a less odour-friendly environment, zinc ricinoleate helps bind odour molecules, and tapioca starch absorbs surface moisture. The formula avoids aluminium salts and sodium bicarbonate without making fear-based health claims about either ingredient.

What it does

  • Uses complementary mechanisms to help control underarm odour rather than relying on fragrance to mask it
  • Zinc ricinoleate helps bind odour molecules while triethyl citrate and magnesium hydroxide support odour control
  • Tapioca starch absorbs excess surface moisture without claiming to stop normal perspiration
  • An emollient base and bisabolol support comfortable daily application

What earns its place

  • Magnesium hydroxide and triethyl citrate support odour control
  • Zinc ricinoleate helps bind odour molecules
  • Tapioca starch provides moisture absorption and a dry-touch feel
  • Bisabolol supports underarm comfort

What it leaves out

  • No aluminium salts—UN/05 is a deodorant and does not claim to block sweat
  • No sodium bicarbonate, which some underarm skin finds irritating
  • No added fragrance or essential oils; odour control should not depend on perfume
  • No disease-prevention or fear-based health claims

Designed for

  • Daily odour control
  • People who prefer a deodorant rather than an antiperspirant
  • Underarm skin that may dislike baking soda

Formulation decisions

  • No aluminium salts
  • No baking soda
  • Preference-led formulation without implying a cancer-prevention benefit

The un/extra ritual

Four facial steps.
One clear order.

AM
  1. UN/01 Soft Wash
  2. UN/02 Barrier Serum
  3. UN/03 Essential Cream
  4. UN/04 Daily Sunscreen SPF 30
PM
  1. UN/01 Soft Wash
  2. UN/02 Barrier Serum
  3. UN/03 Essential Cream

UN/05 is the separate daily body step: apply to clean, completely dry underarms.

How to use

Use it
with intention.

Apply two to three light swipes to clean, completely dry underarms. Allow the product to settle before dressing. Do not apply to broken or freshly irritated skin. Discontinue use if persistent irritation develops.

Deodorant and antiperspirant are not the same. UN/05 is designed to manage odour; it does not claim to block sweat.
