Are armpit hairs unhygienic?

Hardly any body part is as fraught with myths as our armpits – and especially the topic of armpit hair. In a world where smooth skin is often equated with "cleanliness," many ask:

Are armpit hairs actually unhygienic?

The myth of unhygiene

The short answer: No, armpit hairs are not unhygienic per se. On the contrary: from an evolutionary perspective, they even serve useful purposes. Armpit hairs protect sensitive skin from friction, regulate sweat evaporation, and can even play a role in the body's natural scent communication.

What is true, however: Unkempt armpit hair can retain odors longer because bacteria thrive particularly well between the hairs – especially if the area is not thoroughly cleaned or is improperly cared for.

It's not about the hair – it's about the care

The deciding factor is therefore not whether you have armpit hair, but how you manage your armpit care. Even with long armpit hair, you can go through the day feeling fresh, well-groomed, and pleasantly scented – if you use the right products.

What really helps against odors?

Odors under the arms are not caused by sweat itself – which is odorless – but by bacteria that break down the sweat. Therefore, you don't need an aggressive aluminum deodorant, but something that is antibacterial and at the same time gentle on the skin.

The Solution

Our Deo Cream works exactly where odors originate – on the skin and between the hairs. Thanks to its natural, antibacterial active ingredients, it reliably combats unpleasant odors without drying out your skin or disturbing its natural balance. And the best part: It works even with long armpit hair, without sticking or weighing it down.

No alcohol. No aluminum. No compromises.

✨ Tip: After showering, apply a small amount of our Deo Cream to dry skin. Gently massage in – and start fresh. The scent? Subtle. Natural. Pure. Like you.
