THE STANK DIFFERENCE

11 WAYS STANK RECALIBRATES YOUR SKIN AND PRIMES IT FOR HEALING. Soap strips skin, and stripped skin makes more oil, which can feed the yeast and bacteria behind the smell. STANK cleans with coconut oil, olive oil and honey instead, so armpits, groin and the folds under breasts and bellies get clean without being scrubbed raw.

REASON 01

Barrier Reconstruction & Lipid Replenishment - PART A

  • Stratum Corneum Lipid Repair: Stratum Corneum Lipid Support: Extra virgin olive oil provides a dense concentration of oleic acid, which helps replenish the lipids that harsh soap strips away.

REASON 02

Barrier Reconstruction & Lipid Replenishment - PART B



Cellular Membrane Stabilization: The high concentrations of squalene found uniquely in unrefined EVOO mimic human sebum perfectly, coating the skin to lock in moisture without blocking pores.

REASON 03

Barrier Reconstruction & Lipid Replenishment - PART C

Deep Lauric Acid Delivery: Raw virgin coconut oil delivers medium-chain fatty acids (primarily lauric acid) that penetrate deeply into the epidermal layers to reinforce cellular structural integrity.

REASON 04

Microbial Balancing PART A

  • Targeted Antimicrobial Action: Odour-Causing Bacteria: Coconut oil’s lauric acid helps wash away the bacteria and buildup behind body odour, while staying gentle on your skin’s own microbiome.

REASON 05

Microbial Balancing - PART B

  • Natural Antifungal Suppression: Yeasty Buildup: The caprylic and capric acids from raw coconut oil help lift the oily, yeasty buildup behind flakes and that musty smell

REASON 06

Microbial Balancing & Pathogen Defense - PART C

  • Honey’s Clean Feel: Raw honey’s natural enzymes help leave skin, skin folds included, feeling clean and calm after washing.

REASON 07

Cellular Turnaround & Deep Hydration - PART A

  • Self-Regulating Humectant Draw: Honey is a natural hyper-osmotic humectant that pulls moisture from the ambient air directly into the deep layers of the dermis, creating a self-regulating hydration loop.

REASON 08

Cellular Turnaround & Deep Hydration - PART B

  • Enzymatic Desquamation: Honey contains trace amounts of natural alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) and gluconic acid, which gently dissolve the dead cellular glue holding flakes together, accelerating healthy cell turnaround.

REASON 09

Cellular Turnaround & Deep Hydration - PART C

  • Prostaglandin Regulation: The active polyphenols in your unrefined EVOO suppress inflammatory prostaglandins (PGE2), visibly reducing redness, swelling, and epidermal heat.
REASON 10

Antioxidant Care

  • Free-Radical Quenching: Living chlorophyll, vitamin E and carotenoids in the unrefined oils are natural antioxidants.

  • Accelerated Tissue Regeneration: Honey stimulates fibroblasts and upregulates cytokines, drastically speeding up the cellular mitosis required to heal cracks, burns, and open blemishes.

REASON 11 - FACT CHECK US

The research behind the ingredients. *** These studies are on the ingredients themselves, not on STANK

  • International Journal of Molecular Sciences (2018): "Anti-Inflammatory and Skin Barrier Repair Effects of Topical Application of Some Plant Oils." This study specifically validates that olive oil and coconut oil act directly on the skin barrier to repair the stratum corneum, modulate inflammation, and protect against UV damage.
  • Journal of Traditional and Complementary Medicine (2019): "In vitro anti-inflammatory and skin protective properties of Virgin Coconut Oil." Documents how virgin coconut oil suppresses inflammatory markers and protects skin integrity by optimizing moisture retention.
  • Central Asian Journal of Global Health (2016): "Honey in Dermatology and Skin Care: A Review." Details honey's exact mechanisms regarding osmotic hydration, enzymatic chemical exfoliation, and its ability to accelerate tissue regeneration.
  • Frontiers in Microbiology (2020): "Antimicrobial and Antibiofilm Activity of Honey." Explains exactly how honey destroys the cellular walls of bad bacteria and halts the formation of defensive biofilms on compromised skin.
