FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

1. APPLICATION AND EFFECT

How do I use OWIN deodorant cream correctly? Развернуть/свернуть

Take a pea-sized amount of the cream and gently massage it into clean, dry underarm skin. The cream is completely absorbed by the skin and leaves no residue.

Does the deodorant cream really work against odor? Развернуть/свернуть

Yes, OWIN Deodorant Cream effectively neutralizes odor-causing bacteria with natural ingredients like baking soda and magnesium hydroxide. It offers reliable protection against body odor – all day long.

Will I sweat less with OWIN deodorant cream? Развернуть/свернуть

OWIN Deodorant Cream doesn't block sweat glands because it doesn't contain aluminum salts. Natural perspiration is maintained, but moisture is reduced by absorbing ingredients like arrowroot powder, leaving your skin feeling pleasantly dry.

How often should I use the deodorant cream, and how long does one can last? Развернуть/свернуть

One application per day is usually sufficient. If necessary, you can apply the cream more often, for example, after exercise. One 30 ml container lasts for about 6–8 weeks, depending on use.

What happens during the transition phase? Развернуть/свернуть

Yes, it may take your body about 1-2 weeks to adjust to the natural ingredients, especially if you've previously used a deodorant containing aluminum salts. During this time, you may experience increased sweating or odor, but this will quickly subside.

Can I also use the deodorant cream on freshly shaved skin? Развернуть/свернуть

Yes, OWIN Deodorant Cream is specially developed for sensitive skin. Nourishing ingredients like coconut oil and shea butter soothe the skin and reduce irritation – even after shaving.

How does refilling with the refill packs work? Развернуть/свернуть
  1. Clean the can:
    Clean your empty can thoroughly – ideally with warm water, a mild dish soap, and a soft brush. Then dry thoroughly.
  2. Heat the refill pack:
    Place the closed refill pack in a glass or cup of hot (not boiling!) water for about 2 minutes. Ideally, around 60°C is ideal – if you can dip your finger in briefly, the temperature is right.
  3. Transferring:
    Once the contents have melted, cut off a corner of the packet and carefully pour the liquid cream into the container. Then simply let it cool—at room temperature or in the freezer if you want it to cool down faster. Done!

Your OWIN can is ready for use – reused instead of thrown away.

What distinguishes OWIN from other deodorants? Развернуть/свернуть

OWIN combines sustainability, natural ingredients, and high performance. Our formula is based on 100% natural, vegan ingredients, is aluminum-free, and comes in sustainable, compostable packaging. With the choice between cans and refill packs, we focus on conscious consumption and environmental friendliness.

Why deodorant cream and not spray or roll-on? Развернуть/свернуть

Deodorant creams work more specifically while simultaneously caring for your skin. They contain no propellants, no microplastics, and no unnecessary additives. You apply them with your fingers – this stimulates circulation and makes application more mindful. And: Our cream works where it's meant to – gently, sustainably, and effectively.

Can I use the deodorant cream on other parts of my body (e.g. chest, back)? Развернуть/свернуть

Yes, OWIN Deodorant Cream can also be used on other areas of the body where you sweat heavily, such as your chest, back, or feet. It's gentle and effective without irritating the skin.

2. SUSTAINABILITY AND PACKAGING

How does the refill pack system work? Развернуть/свернуть

The refill pack system allows you to reuse your OWIN can. Once your deodorant cream is used up, you can purchase a refill pack and refill the can. This saves resources and reduces waste.

How sustainable is the OWIN can really? Развернуть/свернуть

The OWIN can is made from sustainable materials (20% bioplastic and 80% wood chips) that are fully compostable or recyclable. It is designed to last and be reused multiple times, significantly reducing its environmental impact.

Is the packaging compostable or recyclable? Развернуть/свернуть

Yes, our cans are compostable and our refill packs are 100% recyclable. Additionally, we use recycled cardboard for our outer packaging to further minimize our environmental footprint.

Why are refill packs better for the environment than a new can? Развернуть/свернуть

Refill packs significantly reduce material consumption because they are lighter and more resource-efficient than a full can. Resource and energy consumption are also lower than with a can. Reusing your OWIN can helps minimize waste and protect the environment.

Can I recycle the refill packs or throw them directly into the household waste? Развернуть/свернуть

The refill packs are fully recyclable and can be placed in the yellow bag or appropriate recycling bin. Please ensure they are disposed of properly to ensure recycling.
