Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Longéra, our formula, and your order.

The Products

Longera Black is our everyday formula designed for daily use, regular routines, and all-day confidence. Longera Green is our Extra Performance formula, built for athletes, active lifestyles, heat, and more demanding conditions. Both share the same clean, science-backed approach with no aluminium, no baking soda, and no harsh chemicals.

Yes. Both Longera Black and Longera Green are designed for daily use. Longera Black is the everyday formula for regular routines. Longera Green is suited to more active or demanding days when extra performance is needed.

With regular daily use, one bottle typically lasts 4 to 6 weeks depending on application frequency.

The Formula

Longéra is designed around the biology of body odour. Instead of masking odour with fragrance, it focuses on the compounds bacteria rely on to create underarm odour — helping reduce odour before it starts. The approach is grounded in how odour actually forms biochemically, not in marketing claims.

Yes. Aluminium works by blocking sweat glands, which is not how Longera works. Our formula targets the bacterial process that causes odour at its source, meaning you get real odour control without interfering with your body's natural functions.

No. Longéra is a deodorant, not an antiperspirant. It does not block sweat glands or stop sweating. Instead, it targets the bacterial process that creates odour from sweat. Sweating is a natural and healthy function — our goal is to control odour, not to interfere with it.

Yes. Longera contains no added fragrance of any kind. The formula is designed to eliminate odour rather than mask it, so there is nothing to cover up.

No. Longéra is aluminium-free. We do not use aluminium compounds in any of our formulas. Aluminium salts are commonly used in antiperspirants to block sweat glands, but that is not our approach. Longéra works differently — by targeting odour at its biochemical source.

No. Longéra does not contain baking soda. Baking soda is a common ingredient in natural deodorants but is a known irritant for sensitive skin. We formulated without it to ensure the product is gentler while still being effective.

Longera was created by an Australian medical scientist who studied the biochemical process behind body odour and built a formula that addresses it directly. The approach is grounded in how odour actually forms — not in marketing claims or fragrance masking.

Skin and Application

Yes. Both variants are formulated without aluminium, baking soda, harsh chemicals, and fragrance — the four most common causes of irritation in conventional deodorants. The formula is designed to be gentle while still being effective.

We recommend waiting 10 to 15 minutes after shaving before applying. Freshly shaved skin is more sensitive and a brief wait ensures the most comfortable experience.

Longéra is formulated to provide up to 36 hours of protection. Results may vary depending on activity level, climate, and skin type. For demanding days — sport, heat, or high activity — Longera Green is the recommended choice.
