• What are AHAs?
  Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) are a group of fruit acids that naturally balance the pH of the skin. AHAs are a versatile ingredient with a wide range of uses and benefits. They are the main ingredient in Monks deodorant sticks because they fight odor-causing bacteria.

• I have seen AHAs in my facial care, but how do they work in deodorants
  Body odor is caused by bacteria that live in our armpits and feed on our sweat. These bacteria need an alkaline pH to thrive. By lowering the skin's pH to a more acidic level, AHAs effectively stop body odor at the source.

• What are the benefits of AHAs?
  AHAs are not only masters of pH regulation and odor control, but they also help smooth underarms and reduce hyperpigmentation. They're also proven to protect against and treat ingrown hairs.

• Why not use baking soda instead of AHAs?
  While baking soda helps absorb odors, it is extremely alkaline, which encourages odor-causing bacteria. This may explain why natural baking soda-based deodorants only seem to work for a short time.
