WHAT DOES IT DO?

 

Yogurts are generally known to have probiotic benefits and contain live cultures to help your gut health.  The Coconut Yogurt Extract does not have live cultures, but contains the metabolic byproducts of these probiotic bacteria from the yogurt, known as postbiotics.

 

This extract is used in our deodorant in combination with xylitol and the full prebiotic formula helps support the good bacteria to help keep the skin in healthy balance (promotes the growth of good bacteria to help reduce odor).

 

HOW IS IT MADE?

 

Our Stewardship Model guides us to select ingredients which have been processed in a manner that supports our philosophy of human and environmental health.

 

The Coconut Yogurt Extract starts with the grinding of Cocos Nucifera (coconut) fruit and fermentation with Lactobacillus to make the yogurt.  After the right time and temperature the resultant is filtered to provide the extract which is then ready for use in our deodorant.

 

WHAT ARE THE ALTERNATIVES?

 

Yogurt extracts from dairy or other alternatives (almond milk) are available.  We chose the coconut yogurt extract as to use in our deodorant as it met our stewardship and performance requirements in our product.
