The 411 on Prebiotics & why you NEED it in your deodorant!
Before you ask yourself, “Why would I need prebiotics in my deodorant?” let us explain! Prebiotics are nutrients that promote growth of good bacteria you house in your body. These nutrients “feed” the good bacteria in order to fight off the bad bacteria, which causes body odor. When there aren’t enough good bacteria in the body the bad bacteria can increase and take over.
What’s the difference between Prebiotics and Probiotics?
Both prebiotics and probiotics work to promote a healthier microbiome for areas such as the gut, mouth and skin. Prebiotics are nutrients that promote the growth of the good bacteria you already have in your body while Probiotics are bacteria that benefits the body to maintain a healthy balance.
Switching to a deodorant that has prebiotics can help with bacteria, odor and infections. It is important to use deodorants that are natural and clean, which means free of toxins and harmful chemicals. Think of prebiotics as a natural way to reduce odor, compared to leading brands with synthetics and “bad for you” ingredients.
Honestly pHresh’s magnesium enriched, prebiotic formula not only offers odor protection, but provides essential minerals and confidence!

The Active Sea Mineral Deodorant Stick works really well and has great duration of effect over a few days. The scent is also very very appealing and non-offensive to the senses. This must be due to its natural ingredients because with synthetic and artificial scents, I have allergic reactions in my airway and lungs, but not with this product, and Honestly Phresh's Unscented Prebiotic Deodorant that I’ve also used. For many years I was using straight baking soda due to chemical concerns with standard deodorant products, but that started causing irritation spots with burning itching and weeping. I had to use prescription cortisone to clear them and then they would reoccur every three to six months. So for a few years I was using nothing, but then we had a recommendation for Honestly Fresh, which I tried and now use with no issues at all. Interestingly, another unexpected result from using both Phresh products is that the irritations stopped reoccurring. I am not sure why, but something about the Phresh product ingredients is helping. This has been a huge relief because using the cortisone had its problems with causing systemic fatigue. I am not providing any medical advice here, but just speaking to my own experiences, I am pleasantly surprised and very happy that I gave Honestly Phresh a try; two products with the same results. We will be definitely be continued customers.
Great product and great customer service. Highly recommend Honestlyphresh
I haven't had a chance to use any of them yet, but I have been using your products for several years now (Costco purchase way back when) and I those old sticks were great..
