Frequently Asked Questions
What is UNFUSSED?
UNFUSSED is a 60 g natural deodorant paste in a tin.
Put a small amount on your finger, rub it into clean, dry underarms and get on with your day.
No spray. No roll-on. No complicated routine.
Does it actually work?
UNFUSSED is designed to help control odour and keep you fresh through a normal day.
Results vary from person to person and can be affected by heat, activity and how the product is applied. If you have had a particularly hot or active day, you may want to reapply.
If the result is not what you expected, work through Why Is My Natural Deodorant Not Working? before simply applying more.
Will it stop me sweating?
No.
UNFUSSED is a deodorant, not an antiperspirant. It helps with odour but does not stop sweat.
If you want a product that reduces sweating, this probably is not the right product for you. Read Natural Deodorant vs Antiperspirant: What Is the Difference? for the plain-English version.
How do I use it?
Use less than you think.
Take a small amount with a clean finger and rub it evenly into clean, dry underarms. Let it absorb before getting dressed.
Using more will not necessarily make it work better.
Do I need a detox or transition routine?
No special detox, mask, scrub or complicated transition routine is required.
Apply it as directed and see how it performs for you. It may feel different if you are used to an antiperspirant because you will still sweat normally.

How often should I apply it?
For everyday use, start with one application in the morning.
You may want to reapply after a hard workout, a shower, extreme heat or an unusually long day. There is no prize for constantly topping it up—use what you need.
How long does a tin last?
That depends on how much you apply and how often you use it.
Each tin contains 60 g, and only a small amount is needed for each application. A thick layer wastes product and will not necessarily improve the result.
What is in it?
The base contains coconut oil, sodium bicarbonate, cornflour, shea butter, beeswax and cetyl alcohol. Each scent also has its own essential-oil blend.
Check the product label for the complete scent-specific ingredient list.
No aluminium. No synthetic fragrance.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
We do not claim that UNFUSSED is suitable for every sensitive skin type.
Some people may be sensitive to sodium bicarbonate or essential oils. Patch test before first use and discontinue use if irritation occurs.
Does it stain clothing?
Use a small amount and let it absorb before getting dressed.
Applying too much or dressing immediately can increase the chance of product transferring onto clothing.
What happens in hot weather?
Because UNFUSSED contains natural oils and waxes, it may soften in high temperatures.
Place it somewhere cool and allow it to reset. Avoid leaving the tin in a hot car or direct sunlight.

Which scent should I choose?
Clean Timber is fresh, dry and lightly woody, with soft herbal notes. It is the balanced everyday option.
Citrus Stone begins bright and citrusy, then settles into a calmer mineral and wood scent.
Iron Grove is woody, green and understated. It is the darker, earthier option.
All three are designed to smell good up close without announcing themselves across the room. Current availability is shown on the Deodorants page.
Who is UNFUSSED for?
UNFUSSED is for practical people who want a simple natural deodorant without wellness fluff or miracle claims.
It will suit you if you are comfortable applying deodorant with your finger and understand that deodorant deals with odour rather than stopping sweat.
It probably will not suit you if you want an antiperspirant, a spray or roll-on, a sensitive-skin guarantee or a heavily perfumed product.
Where is it made?
UNFUSSED is made in Australia.
