What’s Really In Your Deodorant And Why It Matters With TIARA

In this empowering episode of Skin Anarchy, host Dr. Ekta speaks with Zuly Matallana, the force behind TIARA—a clean deodorant brand on a mission to change how we think about body care. After surviving brain surgery and losing loved ones to breast cancer, Zuly turned frustration into fuel, challenging the outdated norms of deodorant formulation with transparency, integrity, and purpose.TIARA isn’t just another “natural” deodorant. Zuly shares how she spent over two years perfecting a formula that’s truly non-toxic and high-performing—free from aluminum, synthetic fragrances, endocrine disruptors, and even animal-based ingredients like tallow. With a base of sunflower seed wax and minimal baking soda, TIARA is both skin-friendly and sustainable, making it a favorite for athletes, wellness enthusiasts, and anyone seeking a product that truly works.But this episode goes beyond ingredients. Zuly dives into the larger issue: lack of regulation and misinformation in body care products we use every day. Through TIARA, she’s built a platform for advocacy—educating retailers, speaking at summits, and winning recognition like the Entreprenista 100 award—all while remaining entirely self-funded.For anyone rethinking their routine or curious about the intersection of wellness and advocacy, this conversation offers inspiration and insight. Tune in to hear how Zuly is turning personal adversity into a movement for safer, smarter deodorant—and why TIARA is just getting started.CHAPTERS:(0:00) Introduction to TIARA and Zuly Matallana(1:39) Zuly Matayana’s Journey to Creating a Brand(2:27) The Impact of Brain Surgery and Its Influence on Zuly's Perspective(5:09) The Path to Creating Sustainable Products(6:09) Researching and Developing Natural Deodorants(8:43) Understanding Harmful Ingredients in Conventional Deodorants(12:11) The Challenges and Misconceptions in the Deodorant Industry(16:15) The Importance of Ingredient Transparency and Consumer Education(21:37) The Future of Deodorants and Zuly’s Mission for SustainabilityTo learn more about TIARA, visit their website and social media.Don’t forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.
