The Science
Why Axil works when others don't
Sweatodourless
S. hominisskin bacteria
Thioalcoholsthe actual smell
Black seed oilbreaks the chain
The real cause
It was never the sweat
Fresh sweat has no smell. Odour appears when Staphylococcus hominis on your skin converts it into thioalcohols — the compounds you actually smell.
Why others fail
Masking and blocking miss it
Perfume deodorants just cover the smell. Aluminium antiperspirants plug your pores. Neither touches the bacteria doing the damage.
The fix
Neutralise the bacteria
Cold-pressed black seed oil is rich in thymoquinone, which keeps odour-causing bacteria in check — so the thioalcohols never form in the first place.
Researchers at the University of York, working with Unilever, identified Staphylococcus hominis as a primary producer of the thioalcohols behind underarm odour.
Black seed oil, done properly
Six ingredients, one balm
•Black seed oil (Nigella sativa) — neutralises the bacteria behind odour and helps skin recover.
•Coconut oil — deeply nourishes and softens the skin.
•Cornstarch — absorbs moisture so skin feels dry and silky.
•Baking soda — helps absorb odour and excess oil.
•Organic beeswax — a light protective film that holds the balm together.
The sixth ingredient is the scent. Six to choose from:
Vanille · Cotton · Coco · Musk · Passion · Watermelon
Full ingredient list (INCI)
Base formula: COCOS NUCIFERA OIL, ZEA MAYS STARCH, SODIUM BICARBONATE, CERA ALBA, NIGELLA SATIVA SEED OIL, PARFUM.
Paste your full compliance-approved INCI per scent here (musk/vanille, citrus, coco…), including any naturally occurring allergens and your organic-origin percentages. Replace this note before publishing.
How to apply
Twist the base to raise a little balm through the top, glide it straight across a clean, dry underarm, and it's done — body heat melts the balm in, no white marks, no wet feel.
Use it in the morning and reapply whenever you like. Gentle enough for daily use, even on freshly shaved skin.
Why black seed oil?
Sweat itself is odourless. The smell only appears when Staphylococcus hominis on your skin turns it into thioalcohols. Cold-pressed black seed oil is rich in thymoquinone, which keeps that bacteria in check — so the odour never forms, rather than being masked.
The bacteria behind underarm odour were identified by researchers at the University of York, working with Unilever.
Made for sensitive skin
Aluminium-free — nothing to plug your pores. It's a balm, not an aluminium antiperspirant, so it works with your body instead of blocking it.
Six simple ingredients, gentle enough for daily use and for skin that reacts to most deodorants — including straight after shaving.

Brilliant concept, it's a complete change compared to a classic deodorant. The scents are gorgeous and they last a good while, even in the current heatwave.

Very good product
I recommend this product for its quality and its effectiveness
Excellent product!
The products are great, the hold and the effectiveness are pretty stunning: a tiny dab under the arm and it lasts all day. The hydration is there too. Plenty of fragrances to suit everyone. Nothing to fault! 👏
Box smashed in, one jar smashed in, not cool
Really Great
I've only tried the Monoi one so far. The hold is great, no skin reaction. NO bad smell on me or on my clothes. The one small downside is the application, but I knew that when I bought it. Go for it!! Zero regrets!!

Satisfied with the products
Good products, the fragrance isn't too strong.
Slow delivery, even though it said it would arrive within two working days, but never mind — the wait was worth it. It smells lightly nice and given how much I ran this morning without sweating much, I think it's pretty good too, so thank you
Perfect
This deodorant works really well, I've been using it for 2 weeks, and the odours are gone !!!

Very satisfied
Exode, a deo that smells really good, effective, leaves no marks on white or black clothes
When is there going to be an Exode stick, more practical to apply ???
