Contrary to popular belief, it is not sweat itself that causes body odor. Sweat is a clear, odorless liquid comprised predominantly of water, proteins, and oils. Body odor is the byproduct of bacteria on the skin interacting with proteins and oils in sweat and excreting odor. There are various ways we can naturally reduce visible perspiration, but the best way is by using a product designed to limit both sweat and odor.

Helmm offers three formulas: an Antiperspirant & Deodorant; a Sport Deodorant, and a Natural Deodorant. All three were developed without nasty ingredients while still providing the highest efficacy and sweat protection. All three are Paraben-Free, Phthalate-Free, Triclosan-Free, Talc-Free, and Sulfate-Free.

Helmm's Antiperspirant & Deodorant is a white, stick product that utilizes an active ingredient to reduce sweating in the underarm area. The reduction of perspiration makes Antiperspirant & Deodorant ideal for heavy sweaters and those concerned about underarm wetness. The Antiperspirant & Deodorant also contains premium fragrances that offer effective deodorizing capabilities along with perspiration reduction.

The Sport Deodorant works by masking the smell of body odor. Deodorants aren’t designed to stop perspiration, but rather focus on neutralizing odor. The Sport Deodorant is a clear, gel-like formula that offers powerful protection against body odor. Sport Deodorant is Aluminum-Free.

Helmm’s Natural Deodorant offers odor protection without the use of synthetic ingredients. Similar to the Sport Deodorant, Natural Deodorant is also Aluminum-Free.

Our Natural Deodorant and Sport Deodorant formulas are aluminum-free. In order to offer effective sweat reduction for those who need it, our Antiperspirant & Deodorant formula contains Aluminum Zirconium Tetrachlorohydrex GLY (18%), the most effective and modern aluminum compound used for anti-perspiration purposes.

Our Sport Deodorant formula is naturally-derived, aluminum-free, and dermatologist approved like the Natural Deodorant, but the Sport Deodorant has different ingredients than the Natural Deodorant. Its ingredients are naturally derived and it provides powerful odor protection during active chapters in your day.

Both the Sport Deodorant and Natural Deodorant are solid, stick products.

Both formulas are Aluminum-Free, Paraben-Free, Phthalate-Free, Triclosan-Free, Talc-Free, Baking Soda-Free and Sulfate-Free.

Helmm’s formulas are non-irritating. However, many people are allergic to various ingredients in cosmetic products. We recommend that if you have allergic reactions to study the ingredient lists carefully and thoroughly. Additionally, upon receiving Helmm, we recommend that you test the product on a small part of your skin to ensure that there is no reaction. If you need additional help, please contact us at members@helmm.com.

It is possible you are allergic to a specific ingredient in your formula, and we are happy to help find an alternative product that works for you and your skin.

Another thing to look out for is other products in your hygiene routine. Skin irritation can come from laundry detergents, or laundry detergents interacting with other cosmetic products. Starch can also be the cause of irritation. If you’ve made any changes to your routine or household products, we encourage you to consider this as well.

If you need additional help after experiencing a rash or irritation after using Helmm, please contact us at members@helmm.com.

Our fragrances were created by world-renowned French perfumer, Cecile Hua, using a unique fragrance-making process from the South of France. Cecile’s process, which focuses on natural essential oils, is so unique that it is protected by UNESCO World Heritage. Importantly, Cecile developed fragrances that are void of all the bad-for-you, synthetic ingredients typically found in fragrances.

Helmm’s four scents are all interchangeable and layer-able, giving you the opportunity to personalize and customize your fragrance. Easily interchangeable depending on the occasion, Helmm’s scents align with the changing preferences and behaviors of your lifestyle. We wear different clothes based on the occasion, so why do we wear the same fragrance all day, every day? For more information on which scent might be best for you, please visit our blog.

Helmm offers four great variants in all three of our formulas. If you can’t choose just one, we encourage you to try them all. They were each created by world-renowned French perfumer, Cecile Hua, who designed them with all-natural essential oils, designed to offer a more premium, luxurious option for daily deodorant users.

You can order as many or as few scents as you would like at a time. For subscribers, you can change your scent preferences any time at www.helmm.com/account. Additionally, we encourage you to mix and match your scents together in addition to using different scents for different occasions. Helmm’s scents are able to be combined or “layered” on top of each other to create new scents and further elevate your scent profile.

You can explore our four scent offerings at www.helmm.com/scents.

Helmm's premium fragrances are crafted to smell great while still offering peak functionality. Helmm has developed its scents with an award-winning French perfumer, offering the first high-quality, fine fragrance products in the anti-perspirant and deodorant market. They've also been built to be detectable on the skin, but not overpower. If you prefer to emit an extremely strong scent, you can also wear your cologne or perfume with Helmm. Helmm's fragrances come from individual scent families, designed intentionally so they can be layered with other fragrances.

Unfortunately not. These “pharmacy brand” containers are comprised of plastic compounds that are rejected by recycling facilities across the nation.

Yes, Helmm Refill Cartridges are recyclable. Comprised of HDPE and Polypropylene – two highly recyclable plastic materials – Helmm Refill Cartridges are recyclable after use. However, due to their small size, some recycling facilities may not capture every Helmm Refill Cartridge in their recycling process. In order to ensure that your Helmm Refill Cartridges will be captured in your municipality’s recycling process, we recommend batching cartridges together and recycling as one unit.

Refills will run out depending on your usage patterns, lifestyle, and sweat/odor tendencies. Depending on how frequently and in what quantity you use deodorant, you may use a refill for as little as 3 weeks! Our Refills are filled the same amount as pharmacy store products, at 2.75 oz. Helmm Vessels are built to last for a minimum of three years and are guaranteed for life.

Although the majority of Helmm Members finish a refill cartridge in 7 weeks, Helmm Members are always able to adjust their subscription interval frequency to match their preferences and/or pause, delay, or skip any automatic subscription shipments as needed. You can easily make changes to your subscription on your Account page at www.helmm.com/account.

To use Helmm, simply remove the cap from the Vessel and gently insert your Refill into the container with the two “ear tabs” on the side of the cartridge aligning with the openings in the container. Once your Helmm cartridge is inserted, you can remove the plastic cap and begin applying your Helmm.

The Helmm Vessel is specially designed to be unlike typical drugstore varieties where you can swivel the product far up and back down again. Instead, the Helmm Vessel and refills are made to only be advanced up and not retracted. Because of this, we only recommend advancing the Refill up just enough as needed for each application. This design is intentional, as it helps prolong the life of the Refills — saving you money and the earth some plastic! You can advance your refill as needed by swiveling the base of the Vessel counter-clockwise.

You can remove your cartridge from the Helmm Vessel at any time by gently pinching the two “ear tabs” on the side of the refill and slowly removing the product from the container.

The Heritage Vessel is made out of metal and genuine, hand-stitched leather and looks great in your home, on your bathroom counter, etc. As this Vessel is designed for home, we recommend keeping the container upright to preserve its quality.

The Compass Vessel is a smaller and lighter alternative for those who prefer a more portable option. It works just the same as the Heritage Vessel but is better suited for travel. Additionally, the cap on the Compass Vessel is designed to latch into place to protect your deodorant when on-the-go.

Both Vessels offer significant upgrades over traditional deodorant sticks, such as scratch-resistant edges, balanced weight and application feel, and an intuitive Refill system that ensures you get the most out of each Refill. Both the Heritage Vessel and Compass Vessel are guaranteed for life.

Each refill container is 2.75 oz, the same as a pharmacy stick (it looks a lot smaller due to less plastic). Depending on how often you use deodorant or antiperspirant, refills typically last between 4 and 10 weeks, but the majority of Helmm users opt for our 7-week refill option. Our subscriptions are designed to be completely flexible and transparent, so you can customize, pause, change, or cancel at any time.

Helmm will gladly accommodate changes in shipping schedule for you. Log into "My Account" at www.helmm.com/account, and you will be able to make changes to your shipping frequency. If you require an immediate shipment, you can order a refill cartridge a la carte with expedited shipping or click the “Order Refill Now” button on the account page.

Of course. Helmm’s container has 2.75 oz. of product – below the 3 oz. threshold for airplanes.

Helmm's container materials have been carefully selected and crafted to withstand everyday wear and tear. That includes getting tossed in gym bags, being dropped on the floor, and yes – bathroom elements such as steam, water and soap.

With that being said, we always recommend regular maintenance of your Vessel to keep it in its best condition. We encourage you to use a soft cloth, old sock, or other similar product to wipe down the edges and cap of your Vessel regularly.
