QV Naked Anti-Perspirant Deodorant - 80g Roll-on
QV Naked Deodorant Roll-On 80g is a fragrance-free, hypoallergenic anti-perspirant designed for sensitive skin. The roll-on aluminium chlorohydrate formula controls underarm wetness and odour without fragrance, colour or harsh additives - gentle enough for eczema-prone skin and after-shaving use.
QV Naked deodorant is the anti-perspirant in Ego's Naked range - a fragrance-free, dye-free, lanolin-free roll-on built for skin that reacts to conventional deodorant. It uses aluminium chlorohydrate in a water-based carrier to control underarm wetness and odour, with none of the perfume or alcohol that usually causes the stinging.
Why choose QV Naked deodorant?
Underarm skin is thin, often freshly shaved and constantly in contact with fabric, which is why it is one of the first places sensitive skin complains. The usual culprits are fragrance and alcohol, both of which are standard in mainstream deodorants and both of which are absent here. That is the whole design brief of the Naked range.
It is a genuine anti-perspirant, not just a deodorant. Aluminium chlorohydrate temporarily blocks the eccrine sweat glands to reduce wetness, and less moisture also means fewer odour-causing bacteria. A product that only masks odour does nothing about wetness; this does both.
The roll-on lays down a thin, even film, which suits reactive skin better than an aerosol blast or a heavy stick. It is soap free, alcohol free and paraben free, and it is gentle enough for daily use on eczema-prone and freshly shaved skin - the two situations where people usually give up on deodorant altogether.

Common uses
The people who buy it have usually tried and abandoned several mainstream deodorants. Eczema or dermatitis reaching the underarm, skin that stings after shaving, and reactions to perfumed products are the three common reasons. It also suits anyone who simply does not want to wear a fragrance - people working closely with others, in food handling, or alongside someone fragrance-sensitive. It sits within the wider QV range, so if the underarm is reacting it is often worth reviewing your wash too - QV Gentle Wash removes soap from the routine, and QV Cream is the fragrance-free moisturiser that pairs with it.
QV Naked deodorant FAQs
Is QV Naked deodorant an anti-perspirant?
Yes. It contains aluminium chlorohydrate, which temporarily blocks the eccrine sweat glands to reduce wetness. Reducing moisture also reduces the bacteria that cause odour, so it addresses both rather than just masking smell.
Is it really fragrance free?
Yes, and dye free and lanolin free as well. Fragrance is the single most common cause of underarm irritation, so leaving it out is the point of the product rather than a marketing line.
Can I use it on freshly shaved skin?
It is formulated to be gentle enough for shaved and eczema-prone skin, which is where alcohol-containing deodorants sting most. If skin is broken or actively inflamed, let it settle before applying anything and speak to a pharmacist.
Does it contain aluminium?
Yes - aluminium chlorohydrate is the active that reduces sweating. That is what makes it an anti-perspirant rather than a deodorant. If you specifically want an aluminium-free product, this is not it, and you would be choosing something that manages odour only.
Will it mark my clothes?
The roll-on lays down a thin even film, which helps, but any anti-perspirant can mark fabric if applied heavily or not allowed to dry. Apply a modest amount to clean dry skin and let it dry before dressing.
Can people with eczema use it?
It is formulated for sensitive and eczema-prone skin and leaves out the usual irritants. It is a cosmetic product rather than a treatment though, so if the underarm skin is actively inflamed or broken, get advice before using anything on it.
This information is a general guide and does not replace advice from your doctor or pharmacist. For external use only - do not apply to broken, inflamed or freshly abraded skin, and discontinue use if irritation occurs. This is a cosmetic anti-perspirant and does not treat skin conditions.
