All Natural & Organic Ingredients.
Toxins . The most common ingredients found in chemical deodorants and antiperspirants are parabens, triclosan, phthalates, propylene glycol and aluminum. Research has linked these ingredients to several medical conditions including types of cancer and reproductive development issues.
Did you know sweat is virtually odourless?
When you sweat, apocrine glands, only located in the armpit, groin, behind ears and nipple area, (see illustration) secrete a fatty type of sweat into the tubule, which upon reaching the skin surface, is broken down by bacteria and this causes unpleasant body odour. By using our product, with its 7 natural ingredients that kill and eliminate odour causing bacteria, you are disrupting this process leaving you odour free.

Our Story
I started on a quest five years ago to make a personalized deodorant for myself. I was looking for a product that did not plug the pores in my armpits with chemicals, waxes or other unnatural products causing painful swollen lumps in my armpit area. I wanted a product that lets my armpits just breathe enough to naturally cool me with no odor or painful lumps (blocked pores). I could not find the product I was looking for.
As I researched body odor and what causes it, I realized that the solution to the problem was simple. Body Odor (B.O.) was not caused by sweat but rather it was caused by a bacterium that feeds on a secretion from the apocrine gland in the armpits and other body areas. The bacteria itself gives off the foul odor (B.O.) so if you kill the bacteria, you kill the smell.
We have used Ionic Silver for years in our home to sanitize surfaces, so I started there. I researched then combined proven natural bacterial killing earth elements (silver, copper and two types of magnesium ) with bacteria killing plant based products ( Arrowroot, Witch Hazel, grain alcohol ) which also add a drying component to them thus creating LeBo . These ingredients have been used for centuries by Greek, Roman ,and Indigenous cultures and are still in use today in modern medicine . See ingredients section.
After countless formula changes of the seven different ingredients, and numerous trials, I have developed a personal deodorant that accomplishes everything I was looking for.
I hope after using LeBo you will have found yours as well.

Why Go Natural?
In a world where personal hygiene has become an integral part of our daily routines, deodorants have undoubtedly emerged as a necessity. However, in recent years, concerns over the potential adverse effects of conventional deodorants have sparked a growing movement towards natural alternatives. This has led to the invention and widespread adoption of natural deodorants. The primary reason behind the invention of Lebo was to address the health risks associated with their chemical-laden counterparts.
Traditional deodorants often contain ingredients such as aluminum, parabens, and phthalates, which are harmful to our bodies. Aluminum compounds, for instance, have been linked to breast cancer and Alzheimer's disease. Parabens and phthalates are known endocrine disruptors that can interfere with hormone production. Lebo provides a safe alternative by utilizing a combination of plant-based ingredients with earth elements to combat odour causing bacteria naturally .
These ingredients not only neutralize odors effectively but also offer additional benefits for the skin. Lebo also comes in a refillable system reducing costs to consumer and plastic waste contributing to a greener world.
