Description and use
Kivu is handcrafted in our Lyon workshop 🇫🇷
VERSION 2: But what makes it BETTER? 🤔
• For application: increased sweet almond oil 🌰
• For effectiveness: increased magnesium (the main active ingredient against perspiration) 💦
• Scent: increased naturally-derived fragrance 💐
The Kivu deodorant is based on sweet almond oil and is free from essential oils. To keep your underarms smelling great, it contains a jasmine 💐 or sweet almond 🌰 fragrance of natural origin.
It is our first vegan deodorant! We decided to replace beeswax with vegetable wax, specifically carnauba wax. For our animal friends 🐝
Thanks to its practical small size, it slips into your bag to come to your underarms' rescue at any time, after a workout 🚴 or before your next date 😉 and what's more, its packaging is 100% recyclable ♻️
Why is this a version 2?
Because our products are constantly evolving and improving based on your feedback. The Kivu deodorant is therefore bound to change.
✅ Kivu has been tested and approved by a dozen beta-testers!
✅ Baking soda-free
✅ Alcohol-free and aluminum salt-free
How to use it?
1. Remove the deodorant cap and push the product with your finger to make it slightly emerge from its packaging
2. Spread it over the entire surface of your underarm while keeping your finger on the push-up base to prevent the product from sliding back down during application
If the product is too firm, you can warm it up for a few seconds against your underarm or run it under a small stream of water.
Storage: close the cap tightly after use to preserve its freshness.
🏔 And why Kivu? Lake Kivu is one of the Great Lakes of Africa 🏞️
As with the rest of our range, we name our skincare products after famous natural sites, mountains, rivers, lakes, or streams, from France and around the world. A way for us to remember why we do all this.
🌎 Let's protect nature, and it will return the favor

FAQ
Our Kivu deodorant is highly effective thanks to magnesium hydroxide, which absorbs moisture and sebum, so you can stay worry-free all day long! 😋
Thanks to your feedback, we have developed version 2 of Kivu: for application, we have increased the sweet almond oil; for effectiveness, we have boosted the magnesium content, our main active ingredient against perspiration; and for the scent, we have intensified the natural fragrance.
Indeed, Kivu is made up of 88.5% organically grown ingredients. Unlike many other deodorants on the market, it contains no aluminum salts, baking soda, or alcohol ♻️
Many brands opt for a method where oils are mixed with hydrogen peroxide in order to reduce oil usage, primarily for economic reasons.
However, this approach has a drawback: exposing vegetable oils to hydrogen peroxide can alter their beneficial properties for the skin, notably their ability to hydrate and nourish.
Kivu chooses not to follow this method, thereby preserving all the moisturizing properties of the oils in its formula ☁️
Our product is not labeled as an antiperspirant; it is a product that neutralizes unpleasant perspiration odors.
Antiperspirants are designed to block sweat by clogging sweat glands, whereas Kivu works primarily by masking body odors without necessarily preventing perspiration.
Therefore, it will not hinder your body's natural sweating process 🌬️
Our deodorant is perfectly safe for pregnant women. Enriched with natural ingredients such as sweet almond oil, carnauba wax, and shea butter, it offers a gentle and effective solution to stay fresh throughout the day, without compromising the health of the mom and the baby-to-be 🤰
