🖼 Commercial deodorants are full of chemicals that aggravate our skin, interfere with our hormones and even cause cancers later on in life
Most contain aluminium, a heavy metal that works to block your pores to stop you from sweating. As there are so many pores in our underarms due to the sweat glands, the aluminium enters our bodies and builds up over time causing hormone imbalance and even breast cancer.
Natural deodorants are a way better option as they tend to be non-toxic and for starters, they contain absolutely no aluminium, parabens or toxic chemicals.
Most of them use natural ingredients such as coconut oil, sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), kaolin clay, hops, corn or tapioca starch, and essential oils to help keep underarms dry and fresh.
Switching to a non-toxic natural deodorant is one of the best things you can do for your health.
just ran across this tallow based deodorant - they used tallow in the old days! - vintage traditions website
I use a single ingredient deodorant that works perfectly, milk of magnesia in a roller bottle. Odorless and you get some magnesium.
