How To Use
How To Use Essano Mandarin & Aloe Vera Natural Deodorant
Apply to clean, dry underarms. Reapply throughout the day for best results. Patch-test before use.
New to natural deodorants? Not sure how they work?
If you’re new to essano’s natural deodorants, your body might go through a readjustment phase, which takes up to 30 days for your body to adjust fully from aluminium-based deodorants and antiperspirants.
During this readjustment phase, you can sometimes experience an increase of odour-causing bacteria. But rest assured that this won’t last forever as it is just a part of the adjustment that happens when your pores are no longer blocked.
Once your body completed the readjustment phase, the bacteria and odour will subside and you can be confident you are using a product that is gentle yet effective.
We’re so confident it works, so we’re offering a money-back guarantee! More info here.
98% of the total ingredients are of natural origin.

I was really excited to try a more natural deodorant than my usual brand but unfortunately I found that it didn’t last long enough and I found that at the end of the day my underarms smelt a bit off (even though I don’t sweat much). I liked the initial smell when I first put it on however, I probably wouldn’t keep buying this one I’m afraid.
+ PROS: Smells nice when you first put it on. Nice bottle and doesn't irritate skin.
- CONS:I found the protection against odour didn't last.
I really wanted to love this…but it wasn’t as good as I’d wanted it to be. I had already detoxed my underarms before using this, as I’ve been using natural deodorant for months now. However the deodorant just wasn’t effective enough to really protect against body odour, even on days when I wasn’t doing much physical activity. It was easy to apply, however. It also had more of a fruity smell than I would usually choose for myself, but it wasn’t overpowering once on.
+ PROS: Light smell
Easy to apply
No nasties
Would be good for tweenagers or those who don't need much deodorant
Great to see a product without all the nasty additives, non irritating after shaving and applied smoothly, Great unisex scent. After high activity I did notice a slight sweat smell
+ PROS: Applied well, no nasty ingredients
- CONS:Unsure about the long wear part, I feel like it may not protect as well as other products for a high activity lifestyle without reapplying
I kept forgetting to do a sniff check after wearing this for a few hours, but I’m blessed with armpits that don’t tend to smell so it didn’t really have a hard job. It smelled nice going on – I liked the fresh fragrance. Not sure how long-lasting it was though. I like the idea of using only natural products.
Great fresh citrus scent and handy roll on application. As it is natural it does not have antiperspirant properties if you sweat quite heavily this would not reduce it. They say over time your body does adjust but you need up to 30 days do have to be aware of this, otherwise needs multiple reapplications throughout the day.
+ PROS: Fresh Citrus Scent
Handy Roll on
Chemical free and doesn't dry out the skin (aluminium free)
Natural and vegan friendly
NZ Made
Cruelty Free
100% Recycled Packaging
- CONS:Not good for people who sweat a lot
Need multiple applications
Smell nice, like the handy size but I found the roll to be a little bit too wet, I apply a little bit and feels like I need to keep my arms up for a minute to let the product dry itself before I can put on a tee shirt.
Otherwise product worked fine, did not sweat
Overall I was not impressed with this deodorant. I had body odour after around 5 hours. The mandarin smell was not very pleasant to me either, but I will say that it was not wet or greasy feeling and ok for sensitive skin as I have sensitive skin.
+ PROS: Natural ingredients. Ok for sensitive skin. Smell would not over power your perfume. Comfortable to apply, non wet feel or greasiness.
- CONS:Protection is minimal. Smell is very faint.
It’s nice to have a deodorant that doesn’t try and smell like a deodorant. The fresh mandarin scent was appealing. I felt virtuous for using such a sustainable and natural product, but I was always hyperaware that it didn’t feel that it would last for an entire work day.
+ PROS: Pleasant fragrance.
- CONS:Limited effectiveness over a day.

Nice, light and makes me feel fresh during the first few hours of the day but doesn’t last any longer than that. I usually use ones that have aluminum in them as I sweat a bit more than average so the essano deoderant wasn’t effective for me unfortunately.
+ PROS: Smells great
Light & fresh feeling

This was nice, i wouldn’t use it again. I’m not a fan of the citrus smell as a deodorant. I would recommend for people who like the sweeter smell.

Gentle scent, easy to apply. But sadly not a fan as needed reapplying to often and I simply don’t have time for that.
