What does RimitaDeo Raikas smell like?

Raikas smells of light, uplifting citrus. The scent is fresh but mild, so it suits both women and men, and mornings when you need a boost. Our customer Elina says the scent is fresh but suitably mild, and that the deodorant keeps the smell of sweat away all day.

How does an aluminium-free natural deodorant work?

Antiperspirants contain aluminium salts that block the sweat glands and reduce sweating. An aluminium-free natural deodorant does not stop sweating, it prevents odour. In RimitaDeo Raikas, zinc ricinoleate binds odour, while organic lemon, rosemary and lavender extracts refresh. Read more about why many people choose an aluminium-free deodorant.

What is the difference between RimitaDeo Raikas and the other RimitaDeos?

The difference is the scent. All RimitaDeos share the same aluminium-free and soda-free formula: odour-preventing zinc ricinoleate plus aloe vera, olive, chamomile and other organic plant extracts. Raikas smells of citrus, Metsä of pine, Original of mild meadowsweet, and Sensitive is fragrance-free. RimitaDeo Original was chosen as the best organic deodorant in the Nordics (Nordic Natural Beauty Awards 2023).

Who is RimitaDeo Raikas suitable for?

Raikas suits anyone who likes a fresh citrus scent, women and men alike. It is also a good choice as a young person’s first deodorant. More details are in the Suitable for tab.
