What SET 01 is made of, ingredients and materials
SET 01 is a pressed powder deodorant formulated without talc, using mineral pigments instead. The talc-free claim eliminates the primary asbestos-contamination risk associated with talc-based powders. Mineral pigments (typically iron oxides, mica, titanium dioxide) are inert, insoluble compounds with low skin-penetration risk when applied topically to underarm skin. Pressed powder formulation means no volatilization or inhalation hazard from airborne particles during normal use.
What’s concerning
Category baseline
The starting point for this type of product, before anything specific to this product is counted.
No PFAS disclosure
No public statement from the brand about PFAS in this product.
Fragrance allergens or undisclosed sensitizers
Product may contain fragrance; The brand does not disclose allergen-inducing scent components. Individuals with fragrance sensitivity should patch-test or request full ingredient list before full-body use.
Bacterial or fungal growth in pressed cake
Powder formulations can accumulate moisture and bacteria in humid bathroom environments if improperly stored or if skin is moist during application. Risk is use-dependent, not formulation-dependent.
What’s reassuring
Base material not linked to PFAS
The main material recorded for this product is not one associated with PFAS.
Talc contamination (asbestos risk)
Product explicitly formulated talc-free; asbestos risk does not apply to mineral-pigment base.
Heavy metals
Iron oxides, mica, and titanium dioxide are standard cosmetic-grade minerals with no established lead, cadmium, or chromium risk at typical use levels; no recalls or test failures on record for deodorants.
Source, FDA ↗Formaldehyde / VOCs
Powder deodorants have minimal water content and do not require strong antimicrobial systems; The brand's ingredient list does not typically include formaldehyde donors, though full formulation not public.

The brand's record and disclosure
The brand is known for transparency on harmful ingredient exclusions (phthalates, parabens, mineral oil) but makes no public PFAS commitment or third-party certification claim for this product. The brand has not faced recalled deodorants for heavy-metal or formaldehyde contamination. No independent testing results for SET 01 specifically are publicly available; safety assessment relies on material-class standards and ingredient declarations.
How it compares in its category
Talc-free mineral-powder deodorants are a low-toxicity segment within cosmetics. SET 01 sits favorably vs. aerosol or aluminum-based antiperspirants (which carry dermal-absorption concerns) but offers no antimicrobial claim, so efficacy depends on mineral odor-control only. Compared to activated-charcoal or clay deodorants, mineral pigment formulas carry lower risk of skin irritation or heavy-metal leaching.
If you buy it
Apply to clean, dry underarm skin; powder deodorants require reapplication within 8-12 hours in humid conditions. Do not inhale directly during application. Replace if the pressed cake develops visible mold or odor changes (sign of bacterial growth in humid bathrooms). Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent pigment degradation.
