How to use QV Naked Deodorant

Allow 30 seconds to dry before dressing to avoid transfer to clothing. Avoid applying directly after shaving or to broken skin.

Frequently asked questions
What is QV Naked Deodorant made of?
QV Naked Deodorant contains aluminium chlorohydrate as the active anti-perspirant, in a water-based gentle carrier. It is free from fragrance, colour, lanolin, alcohol and parabens - the typical triggers for sensitive-skin irritation. The QV Naked range across body wash, anti-perspirant, shampoo and conditioner shares the same fragrance-free formula philosophy.
Is QV Naked Deodorant safe for eczema sufferers?
Yes - QV Naked is one of the most-recommended anti-perspirants for eczema-prone and sensitive skin in Australia. The fragrance-free hypoallergenic formula avoids the typical triggers (perfume, alcohol, dyes) that flare eczema. Apply to fully-healed underarm skin; avoid use on actively inflamed or broken skin during a flare.
Does QV Naked Deodorant contain aluminium?
Yes - QV Naked contains aluminium chlorohydrate, which is what gives it the sweat-blocking anti-perspirant action. The "Naked" in the name refers to being fragrance-free and free from common irritants, NOT aluminium-free. If you specifically want aluminium-free, this is not the right product.
Can I use QV Naked Deodorant after shaving?
Wait at least 30 minutes after shaving before applying any anti-perspirant including QV Naked, to avoid stinging on micro-cuts. Many users apply anti-perspirant at night and shave in the morning (or vice versa) so skin has time to recover between the two.
