Meet the Maker
Hey there, I'm Trace, thanks for stopping by. I'm the Founder and Product Developer here at Natural Approach. Several people have asked me "what inspired you to make natural deodorant?”
And the answer’s simple really:
I suffered from excessive sweating & bad BO which really affected my self-confidence!
I will never forget the day when a friend of the family said, “I think you need to change your deodorant, yours is a little stale,” and handed me a can of men’s antiperspirant.
Over the years I tried everything I could get my hands on to eliminate the odour, but nothing seemed to work. I still smelt funky or ended up with a nasty rash! BO would even embed in my clothes, and I eventually had to throw them away.
After trying every deodorant, antiperspirant, crystal, and aluminium infused body odour eater I could find, I wondered:
- Why can’t I get rid of this stench?
- Should I resort to surgery and have my sweat glands blocked?
- If I had surgery, where would that sweat go?
I cringed at these thoughts...
One day I came across natural deodorant balm and I loved the idea of using natural ingredients on my skin.
There was just one problem, I wasn't happy with the natural products I’d tried.
So, back in 2017 I decided to have a crack at formulating my own natural deodorant balm that ticked ALL the boxes.
While it wasn't easy, overtime I mastered the art of creating a formula that works consistently at eliminating bad BO.
This changed my life dramatically & my confidence soared.
I then went on to study natural skincare formulation to ensure I was undertaking best practice.
So, what began in my kitchen as a desperate attempt to resolve my own sense of personal embarrassment about my stinky armpits, has evolved into an Aussie business helping men and women care for their body with confidence.
My customers LOVE using Natural Approach deodorant balm because:
- The formulation contains safe, non-toxic ingredients.
- They know where the ingredients come from.
- They are highly effective at eliminating odour causing bacteria.
- There is a sensitive skin range.
- They are Australian made & owned.
- And there are several gorgeous scents to choose from.
I hope you LOVE my range of balms as much as I do.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Cheers
