FAQs about natural deodorant for kids | Blossom & Beau
Natural skincare and deodorant for girls: Frequently asked questions
Is Blossom & Beau a natural deodorant for tweens and teens?
Yes, Blossom & Beau deodorants are designed to be all-natural and are formulated with a blend of natural and nature-derived ingredients for young skin, including tweens and teens. This makes it suitable as a natural deodorant for tweens and teens starting their personal care routines. Our Dazzling Diva natural deodorant for girls is quick-drying and beautifully scented, helping tweens and teens stay fresh all day.
Are Blossom & Beau’s deodorants aluminium-free?
Yes, Blossom & Beau’s deodorants are aluminium-free, meaning they do not use aluminium salts to block sweat. Instead, our all-natural deodorants help manage odour while allowing the body’s natural sweating process, which is normal and healthy for growing bodies.
How does a natural, aluminium-free deodorant help control odour without blocking sweat?
Odour is caused by bacteria interacting with sweat, not sweat itself. Our formula uses a combination of odour-neutralising and moisture-absorbing natural ingredients, many derived from plants and minerals, to help keep underarms feeling fresh throughout the day without antiperspirant actives.
Is Blossom & Beau’s natural deodorant suitable for sensitive tween and teen skin?
Yes, Blossom & Beau deodorants have been carefully created with delicate, sensitive skin in mind. The natural formula focuses on gentle odour control and avoids common antiperspirant actives that aren’t necessary for kids.
Does Blossom & Beau deodorant contain alcohol?
No. Blossom & Beau does not contain drying alcohols such as ethanol or denatured alcohol. Some ingredients may have “alcohol” in their name (like fatty alcohols), but these are plant-derived and function as emollients to soften and condition the skin rather than to dry it.
Why is there fragrance in Blossom & Beau’s deodorant?
A small amount of fragrance is included, such as in our Dazzling Diva girls deodorant, to provide a pleasant scent that’s appealing to young users. The fragrance is a blend of natural and synthetic components chosen for stability and skin compatibility.
Is Blossom & Beau deodorant vegan-friendly?
Yes, Blossom & Beau’s natural kids deodorants are vegan-friendly and do not contain any animal-derived ingredients, making them a great choice for young people and families who prefer vegan deodorant options.
Is Blossom & Beau cruelty-free?
Absolutely. All Blossom & Beau natural deodorants and kid-friendly skincare products are developed in line with a cruelty-free ethos: neither the finished products nor their ingredients are tested on animals.
Is Blossom & Beau suitable as a kid’s deodorant?
Blossom & Beau is designed specifically for young underarms, providing gentle odour management without antiperspirant actives like aluminium. The easy, roll-on format and kid-friendly fragrance options are created to make introducing deodorant fun and approachable for tweens, teens, and families.
Will Blossom & Beau deodorant help stop sweating?
No. Blossom & Beau deodorants are not antiperspirants; instead, they’re designed to manage odour. Sweating is a normal, healthy process, and our all-natural deodorant respects that while helping your child feel confident during everyday activities.
Is Blossom & Beau a “clean” or “non-toxic” deodorant?
Terms like “clean” and “non-toxic” are not legally defined in cosmetics. Rather than using those marketing terms, Blossom & Beau focuses on natural and nature-derived ingredients that are approved for cosmetic use, used at safe levels, and chosen with care for skin comfort and everyday freshness. Our formulations are made with natural ingredients, dermatologically tested, and are gentle on young skin.
Is Blossom & Beau a sustainable deodorant brand?
All Blossom & Beau kid-friendly products are designed with sustainability in mind, using plant-based and nature-derived ingredients and avoiding ingredients that don’t serve a clear function. We use recycled packaging to reduce virgin plastic, and are proud to work with local suppliers within a 10-mile radius. We don’t claim to be perfect. We constantly work to reduce our impact on the planet, making realistic improvements where they matter most. Learn more about our sustainable kids deodorant brand.
Why choose an all-natural deodorant for kids?
Many families choose an all-natural deodorant for kids because these products focus on odour control rather than stopping sweat and are gentle on young skin. For growing bodies, this can feel like a gentler introduction to daily hygiene, especially during early puberty, when sweating is normal and changing. Blossom & Beau junior deodorants for girls are designed to support everyday freshness while respecting the body’s natural processes.
Who founded Blossom & Beau?
Blossom & Beau was founded by Amanda, a dedicated paramedic and mother of five. She was inspired by her own search when her young daughter needed a deodorant that didn’t exist, one that was natural, effective, affordable, and tailored for young girls. Learn more about the Blossom & Beau story.
Where are Blossom & Beau products made?
All Blossom & Beau products are proudly made in England. We support local as much as possible, with most of our providers hand-selected from a 10-mile radius of our headquarters in Warminster, Wiltshire.
What products does Blossom & Beau manufacture?
Blossom & Beau is a parent-founded skincare company for girls, including tweens and teens. We launched with our inaugural all-natural Dazzling Diva deodorant. We plan on releasing more kids’ skincare products, so stay tuned and follow us on our Facebook and Instagram pages.
What age can children start using deodorant?
There’s no set age that children can start using a deodorant, especially an all-natural deodorant made by Blossom & Beau, one that has been carefully formulated to be gentle on young skin. Many kids begin using deodorant between ages eight and 12, when body odour can start to change as part of normal growth and early puberty.
Is Blossom & Beau just for kids?
No! Adults like our made in the UK natural deodorant just as much as kids do. Because our deodorant is made from natural ingredients, is vegan, cruelty-free, and as sustainable as possible, it’s ideal for anyone looking for a deodorant that is kind to both skin and the planet.
Do Blossom & Beau products contain any parabens?
No, our products, including our deodorant for girls, do not contain any parabens. We deliberately avoid parabens and other harsh preservatives, choosing gentler alternatives that help keep our skincare products for kids safe and effective while remaining suitable for young, sensitive skin.
Do Blossom & Beau deodorants for girls contain any forever chemicals (PFAS)?
Blossom & Beau deodorants and skincare products for tweens and teens do not contain PFAS or any ingredients commonly associated with "forever chemicals." Our formulas are made using naturally derived, skin-friendly ingredients and are carefully designed to be gentle for young, sensitive underarms. We focus on what parents care about most: avoiding unnecessary or harsh ingredients, keeping formulations simple, and choosing components that align with our values of safety, transparency, and suitability for children's skin.
Do Blossom & Beau junior deodorants contain SLS?
No. Blossom & Beau's junior deodorants and skincare products do not contain SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulphate). SLS is a foaming agent commonly used in cleansers and toiletries, but it can be drying or irritating for sensitive skin, particularly in children. All our skincare products and deodorants for girls are formulated without harsh surfactants and instead focus on gentle, skin-friendly ingredients that help keep young underarms comfortable. This makes them suitable for everyday use on developing, sensitive skin, without unnecessary irritation.
