At its highest quantity across our entire range, neem is doing the heavy lifting here. Its compound nimbidin disrupts the cell membranes of odour-causing bacteria — reducing the population rather than just rinsing them off. Also works antifungally.

The primary odour compound — isovaleric acid — is acidic. Baking soda is alkaline. When they meet on your skin during washing, the acid is neutralised before it can fully form. Not a gimmick. Just chemistry.

Menthol from mint activates cold receptors in your skin — an actual physiological response, not just the sensation of smelling mint. The cooling continues after you've stepped out of the shower.

Menthol-rich peppermint oil activates the same cold receptors as the mint powder — together, the cooling effect is real and it lasts. Also antimicrobial, adding another layer of odour control.

Neem and baking soda are both drying. Aloe counteracts that — adds slip during washing and keeps Thanda comfortable for daily use even through the hottest months.
