How To Use
Complete shower routine:
- Wet hair and body in shower
-
Wash hair with shampoo bar - Rub bar on wet hair to create lather, massage scalp, rinse thoroughly. Conditions as it cleanses.
-
Wash body with soap - Fresh lime and spearmint energize and cleanse. Rinse thoroughly.
-
Dry completely - Especially underarms before deodorant.
-
Apply deodorant - 2-3 swipes per underarm. Wait 30 seconds before dressing.
PRO TIP: All three products use fresh citrus and mint scents that layer well. The may chang in the shampoo (lemony), lime in the soap and deodorant (zesty), and spearmint (cooling fresh) create a cohesive clean scent experience without being identical or overwhelming.

Common Questions
Will my teenage son actually use this?
Yes, if he's motivated by: (1) smelling good (social pressure at school), (2) sports/activities (needs shower products for gym bag), or (3) wanting to feel more grown-up (proper grooming = maturity). The scents are fresh and clean without being childish or overly "manly". Everything is simple to use - no complicated routines. Most mums report their sons use these products consistently once they start.
Does the natural deodorant work for teenage boys?
Yes, after 1-2 weeks adjustment. Teenage boys haven't been using aluminium antiperspirant for years like adults, so the adjustment period is often shorter. Natural deodorant doesn't stop sweat (that's what aluminium does), but it neutralizes odour-causing bacteria. Works for school, sports, active days. If he's just starting deodorant for the first time, this is perfect - no aluminium exposure from the start.
What age is this suitable for?
Ages 10-16 typically. Some boys start needing deodorant at 9-10 (early puberty), others not until 12-13. The scents are fresh and age-appropriate - not childish bubble gum, not overly mature cologne. Works through the teen years. If he's 16+ and wants something more sophisticated, consider the men's ranges (Early Doors, Day Off, Scrub Up).
Does the shampoo bar actually work or will his hair feel weird?
It works. There's a 1-3 wash adjustment period as hair gets used to no silicones. First few washes might feel different. After adjustment, hair feels cleaner and healthier. The 2-in-1 formula means no separate conditioner needed (which boys rarely use anyway). Works for most hair types. Short to medium hair = perfect. Longer hair may need extra conditioner on ends.
Is this suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin?
Yes, generally. The soap uses gentle olive oil base (not harsh SLS that strips skin). Tea tree in the soap and deodorant is naturally antibacterial - often helps with breakouts. The deodorant uses magnesium hydroxide (gentler than high-sodium-bicarbonate formulas). The shampoo is gentle on scalp. Essential oils can cause reactions in some people - patch test if he has very sensitive skin.
What does Teen Spirit smell like?
Fresh, clean, citrus with mint. The soap and deodorant smell of lime (zesty, bright), spearmint (cooling, fresh), and tea tree (clean, slightly medicinal but not strong). The shampoo smells of may chang (lemony fresh). Together they smell clean and energizing without being overpowering or childish. Not "bubblegum" sweet. Not aggressive "sport" chemical. Just fresh and appropriate for school/social situations.
Is this a good birthday or Christmas gift?
Excellent practical gift that actually gets used. £31.99 is substantial enough to feel like a proper present. Works for:
- Birthdays (especially milestone birthdays like 13, 16)
- Christmas (stocking filler or main present)
- Back-to-school
- "First deodorant" moment
- Starting secondary school
- When he's getting interested in grooming/girls
Most teenage boys won't buy this for themselves but will use it once they have it. Parents appreciate giving something useful and natural rather than plastic junk.
How should he store these products?
Soap & Shampoo Bar: Keep dry between uses. Use draining soap dishes - sitting in water makes them dissolve faster. Store bars separately so they don't stick together. Cool, dry place (bathroom cupboard or shelf).
Deodorant: Room temperature in cool, dry place. NOT in the fridge - natural deodorants harden when cold. Don't leave in hot car or direct sunlight either.
Can these products travel or go in gym bag?
Yes - this is one of the best features. All three are solid bars:
- No liquid restrictions (perfect for school trips, sports tournaments)
- Won't leak in gym bag or luggage
- Compact and lightweight
- Store in tin or travel soap containers
- Complete grooming kit for away games, camps, sleepovers
First time using natural deodorant - what should I expect?
1-2 week adjustment period. During this time he might sweat more or smell different as his body adjusts from conventional products (if he's used them before). This is NORMAL - not product failure. After adjustment, the natural deodorant works reliably. If he's never used deodorant before, there's no adjustment - it just works from day one.
What if he doesn't like one of the products?
All three products use the same scent family (fresh citrus with mint) so if he likes one, he'll likely like all three. If he's not keen on the shampoo bar, he can use regular shampoo and just use the soap + deodorant. The soap and deodorant are the core products - the shampoo bar is a bonus for completing the routine and eliminating plastic bottles.
How is this different from men's ranges?
Teen Spirit is designed for younger teenage boys (10-16). The scents are fresh, clean, and age-appropriate - not overly mature or sophisticated. The men's ranges (Early Doors, Day Off, Scrub Up) have more complex scent profiles and are better for 16+ or young adults. If your son is 16-17 and wants something more grown-up, consider the men's ranges. If he's 10-15, Teen Spirit is perfect.
