Nuud, the influencer’s deodorant, has been withdrawn from the French market due to health reasons.

French health authorities They left the market Nuud deodorant, a product that has become very famous in recent years, especially thanks to campaigns run by influencers. As explained from National Medicines Agency (ANSM) of France, this deodorant has been linked to the appearance of cysts in the armpits. In addition, some were accompanied by infections that had to be treated with antibiotics.

The agency also explains that the reason appears to be related to the composition of Nuud deodorant, which consists mainly of fatty ingredients. They have occlusal effect which prevents sweat from pores and promotes infections. They warn that the ingredients should not be blamed individually. And also that the product cannot be solely responsible for cysts.

However, if a person is predisposed to suffer from them, the use of Nuuda may promote your appearance. It was therefore withdrawn from sale and French people who had it at home were advised to stop using it. In Spain you can still continue shopping although caution is recommended for the same reasons. The brand has now explained on its website that it is changing the formulation. Once these modifications are completed, it will be able to be sold in France again.

Controversial Nuud Deodorant Ingredients

Second ingredient – Coconut oil. And this is where the problems begin. The third one is castor oilfifth almond oil and tenth Carnauba wax. They are all very fatty ingredients that individually provide many benefits, but overall have been proven in France to promote clogging of skin pores.

In addition, it contains as a fourth ingredient zinc oxide. This compound helps absorb excess sweat, preventing unpleasant odor. But it also has some antiperspirant power; which, together with fatty ingredients, further enhances the occlusion.

Cysts and infections in the armpit

Despite the presence of antimicrobial ingredients, many Nuud deodorant users have reported underarm skin infections and clogged pores, resulting in cysts.

Fortunately, as reported by ANSM, in all cases the problem disappeared when you stopped using the product or started treatment. Especially for those who were found to have infections, medications, especially antibiotics, were necessary.
