The air fills with a sweet, elegant aroma as the airy pink blossoms bloom and float delicately off the trees.
We have formulated our deodorants withåÊactivated charcoalåÊas it acts like aåÊmagnet to draw out toxins from your pores, while also fighting odor-causing bacteria. Our easy glide formulation dries to a clear powder finish.
Antiperspirants block the sweat glands, thereby preventing you from sweating. With natural deodorant, your underarms are free to breathe.
The body goes through a detox phase when transitioning from an antiperspirant to a natural deodorant. We found that the average consumer takes 2-4 weeks to fully transition, therefore we broke down the detox journey to a step-by-step process that you may experience. (see stages of detox) After you transition,åÊuse as a daily deodorant + detoxåÊto keep you fresh and odor free longer.

Frequently Asked Questions
The charcoal is grey, will it stain my clothing?
Although it is grey, it goes on clear. There will be no white marks or yellow stains (which are caused by aluminum) as it is aluminum-free.
Will I still sweat while using the takesumi detox?
The takesumi detoxåÊis a deodorant that will help keep odor away; however, it cannot stop sweating as aluminum does (as it clogs the pores to prevent the natural process of sweating). Noticing a temporary excess of perspiration and odor is normal since your body needs time to rebalance to start working normally again.

The takesumi detoxåÊcharcoal deodorant fights odor causing bacteria for up to 12 hours.
