Deodorant Ingredients & Formulation
What ingredients should I avoid or be aware of?
Viva deodorants are formulated with no aluminium, no parabens, no sulphates, no silicones, and no baking soda (bi-carb). We load our deo's up with magnesium to keep your pits calm, fresh, and fabulous without any irritation. All ingredients are listed clearly on packaging and on our Ingredients Guide page.
Why were shampoo, conditioner, or facial bars discontinued?
We had to pull our solid hair and moisturising bars because a key ingredient (Brassica alcohol) couldn't be sourced palm-oil-free, and we don't do anything that clashes with our planet-kind approach. Good news: our new manufacturers have provided certification that their Brassica alcohol is CERTIFIED palm-oil free, so these bars will be back soon (we are already having fun testing samples!).

Sensitive Skin & Allergies
What should I do if I have sensitive skin or allergies?
Your skin is precious, a bit like you! Please always check the product label for potential allergens or sensitivities, and don't skip a patch test if you're trying essential oils or natural ingredients for the first time. If anything looks suss, seek medical advice. Rather not take the risk? Reach out to us, we looooove to talk about everything Viva to make sure your Viva experience is as perfect as you are.
Are products suitable for all skin/hair types?
Our products are jam-packed with all-natural goodness, but even the nicest ingredients can sometimes mess with sensitive skin or hair. So please, check the ingredients if you have concerns or a history of skin/hair sensitivity. And always do a quick patch test before diving in. Better safe than sorry, we want you glowing, not glitchy.
Ingredients & Sourcing
How are ingredients sourced and disclosed?
We handpick ingredients that are kind to you and the planet — no shady shortcuts, no nasties hiding in fine print. Every ingredient in our products is listed clearly on the label, so you know exactly what's going on your skin. From ethically sourced essential oils to magnesium that actually works, we're all about transparency, honesty, quality, and a little bit of mojo.

How can I find the ingredients list for a product?
All products feature a full ingredient list on the packaging, as well as on each product page online. You can also find a full overview of all ingredients on our Ingredients Guide page.
Are products handmade, and how does this affect availability?
Absolutely. While Jo and Micko aren't elbow-deep in the mix anymore, we've teamed up with two amazing family businesses on the Gold Coast and in Stanthorpe to keep our small-batch, handmade magic alive. Each batch may look a little different (a slightly quirky shape here, a charming imperfection there) but that's a good thing. It means you're getting a product crafted by real humans with skill, care, and a lot of local love.
