Application Instructions

Application is easy.  First, press the powder.

When you first get Mineralized, it will be a loose powder. First, press Mineralized into a pressed powder with your applicator. 

After, applying is simple:

 

 

Roll the applicator in and out of the container:

 

 

 

Tips:

  • Some prefer to apply with their shirt already on. This helps with the powder rubbing off on clothes as you get dressed.
  • The applicator can be stored inside the container for travel:

 

 

 

Mineralized not as effective as you want? Here are some things we have learned: 

 

Clothing or underarm odor?

We have found that underarm odor can reside in your underarm, your clothing, or both.  Firstly, we suggest checking your clothes and underarm independently to determine if your clothes are responsible.

Using other deodorants tends to leave a buildup of residue in your clothing that most laundry detergents do not remove easily.

 

Quantity + every nook

Are you applying enough? You could experiment with adding a little more. Be sure to get it in every spot in your underarm, including the folds near the front and the rear.  Sometimes there can be smelly spots.

 

Gently exfoliating underarms

Another recent learning of ours (from our customers) is that gently exfoliating your underarms seems to help with effectiveness, particularly those for whom Mineralized doesn't seem to work for long enough.

Our guess is that exfoliating removes the buildup of dead skin, reducing the places that bacteria can hide and the powder can't reach.

To gently exfoliate you can use a washcloth, or one customer told us about these silicone scrubbers that work pretty well (Amazon link):

Silicone is extremely inert (doesn't react with much), is easy to clean, and lasts a long time, so there are some advantages to this method over a washcloth.

 

Layering with other products

Some customers layer Mineralized with other deodorant products. We do not recommend this, as the resulting mixture might have unknown and undesirable effects, including a decrease in effectiveness and possible skin reactions.

 

Tight-fitting clothes

If you wear tight shirts, the powder might rub off on your shirt when you put it on, leaving your underarms without any deodorant on them.

If you think this might be happening, we recommend putting your shirt on first, and then applying Mineralized up UNDERNEATH your shirt.

This does two things: a) minimizes the chance that it is rubbing off while putting on your clothes, and b) keeps all the powder in the underarm area.

 

Coming from other (typically coconut-oil-based) natural deodorants

The residue left behind by these products might take some time to fully dissipate through cleaning and natural skin shedding.  Sometimes there is an adjustment period for these customers.

 

Ineffective for ~5%

 

It simply doesn't work for about 5% of the population, and we don't know why at this time (it is related to personal biochemistry). You could be in that minority.

 

True test

The true test to determine if you are in the minority is to reapply a liberal amount of Mineralized AFTER you notice an unpleasant odor. If the odor doesn't vanish, then it doesn't work.

 

Re-applying

Depending on how much is applied and how sweaty of a day you might be having, a small number of people have found they need to reapply during the day. Because of the no-residue nature and the way Mineralized neutralizes odor, this is perfectly fine.
