FAQ's

Does organic deodorant actually work, or will I smell?

Yes—it works when it’s formulated correctly. Shea-Mercygency Organic Deodorant neutralizes odor-causing bacteria with ingredients like bentonite clay and rosemary essential oil, instead of masking smells with synthetic fragrances. No aluminum. No harsh chemicals. Just real protection your body can trust.


Is organic deodorant safe for sensitive skin and kids?

Our Organic Deodorant is made with skin-loving ingredients designed for sensitive underarms —including teens and postpartum moms—without burning, itching, or irritation. Gentle ingredients: Kaolin Clay & Colloidal Oats


Will my body “detox” when switching from regular deodorant?

YES. Some people experience a short adjustment period. The primary ingredient(s), Bentonite Clay & Kaolin Clay, are naturally detoxifying. That's normal. 


Why does natural deodorant cost more than regular deodorant?

You’re paying for clean ingredients, ethical sourcing, and formulas that support long-term health—not fillers or shortcuts. Your skin deserves better.


Can organic deodorant stop odor without aluminum?

Absolutely. Shea-Mercygency targets odor at the source—bacteria—without blocking sweat glands.

Sweat is natural. Odor doesn’t have to be!


Is organic moisturizer better for eczema than regular lotion?

Totally! Many conventional lotions contain alcohols and fragrances that worsen eczema. Shea-Mergency Shea 10 Butter Blend is rich, protective, and designed to restore compromised skin barriers by moisturizing with organic butters, essential oils, healing herbs and seed oils. Mineral rich. Lipid rich. Vitamin rich. Ingredients that are specifically chosen to eliminate itch, remove dead dry skin, and restore skin to health and resilience. 


Can organic moisturizers help eczema flare-ups naturally?


Yes. Shea-Mergency uses deeply nourishing butters, like Shea Butter, Kokum Butter, and Mango Butter, that calm inflammation and lock in moisture—without steroids or synthetic irritants.


Is organic moisturizer safe for babies and toddlers with eczema?

Yes. Our formulas are crafted with minimal, gentle ingredients—perfect for delicate skin that needs relief, not reactions. Protect your little ones’ skin with Shea-Mergency Shea 10 Butter Blend or Eczema Butter Blend. 


9. Why do doctors recommend fragrance-free moisturizers for eczema?

Fragrance is a common eczema trigger. Shea-Mergency focuses on function first—hydration, repair, and comfort—without unnecessary irritants.


How often should I moisturize eczema-prone skin?

Consistency matters. Applying Shea-Mergency Eczema Butter Blend and Shea 10 Butter Blend daily (or 2-3 times a day during flares) helps heal & prevent cracks, itching, and discomfort. Maintain healthy, non-triggered, skin with daily use. 


Are organic body butters too heavy for daily use?

Not when they’re properly formulated. Shea-Mergency Shea 5 Butter Cream melts into skin, delivering deep moisture without feeling greasy. Our more concentrated products: Shea 10 and Eczema Butter Blends saturate into the skin quickly, without sitting "on top" of the skin, decreasing the "greasy" feeling. 


Can organic body butter help cracked hands and feet?

Yes—especially when dryness is severe. Shea-Mergency Shea 5 Butter Cream soaks into the cracks on contact, seals in moisture and helps repair rough, overworked skin immediately! Excellent for construction workers; sports professionals; and medical employees. Shea 10 Butter Blend is a greater recommendation for the feet due to its high butter content. 


Is organic body butter safe during pregnancy?

Clean ingredients matter more than ever during pregnancy. Shea-Mergency butters are made without harsh chemicals, making them a comforting choice for moms-to-be. We offer care for your changing skin with missing a beat.


How long does organic body butter last compared to lotion?

Because it’s concentrated, a little goes a long way. One jar of Shea-Mergency Butter Blends, Butter Creams, Rejuvenating Lotions and Body Glazes can last weeks—sometimes months—with daily use.
