Why switch to a Natural Deodorant?<\/b><\/span><\/h1>\n

Natural deodorant is chemical-free<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

In today\u2019s world, we have so many choices available to us when it comes to self-care products. Some are safe and beneficial, and some are toxic and burden the body. There is no exception when it comes to deodorant. The majority of the products on the market are full of chemicals and toxins with risks that override their supposed benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unless we are aware of the consequences of using the harmful ingredients in conventional deodorant, we probably haven\u2019t thought twice about which product to buy. The goal is to find a deodorant that smells amazing and is going to keep us from smelling terrible, right? Don’t worry, there are natural, safe options that actually WORK!<\/span><\/p>\n

In order to protect our health, we must educate ourselves on the importance of using a plant-based, natural deodorant. <\/span><\/p>\n

How does conventional deodorant work?<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Conventional deodorant is made with aluminum<\/strong>, a neurotoxin<\/a>, which claims to keeping the armpits fresh. This is the ingredient you probably hear most about when it comes to the dangers of using conventional products. Interestingly, the purpose of aluminum is to prevent our armpits from sweating.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

BUT, it\u2019s a natural process to sweat, it’s the way our bodies have been created to regulate body temperature and eliminate toxins<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What dangerous ingredients can conventional deodorant contain?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Not only do they contain aluminum compounds, but also parabens, silica which is a skin irritant, and talc, a carcinogen. <\/span><\/p>\n

Parabens<\/a> <\/strong>are used as a preservative, making the product last longer on the shelves. Parabens affect the body by playing a similar role to our estrogen hormones. This ultimately affects the body\u2019s hormone balance. In throwing off the balance, consequences include cancers, birth defects, and early puberty. <\/span><\/p>\n

Silica<\/strong> is your source of irritation and itchiness. Silica is often contaminated with crystalline quartz, which is known to cause respiratory diseases and cancerous developments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Talc<\/a>,<\/strong> or hydrous magnesium silicate, provides the chalk, white appearance of the deodorant. Talc can irritate the skin and is thought to contain carcinogens.<\/span><\/p>\n

Artificial fragrance<\/strong><\/a> They may use natural-sounding names for the scent of the deodorant but the label will say “fragrance” which is artificial and dangerous<\/p>\n

How do these chemicals work?<\/span><\/h2>\n

The chemicals in conventional deodorants are designed to ensure the ducts are pressed closed, to keep you from sweating. But by closing the ducts, the toxins are trapped inside of us. This is not good, we want them out – not trapped inside!<\/span><\/p>\n

Studies have linked the neurotoxins found in conventional deodorants to breast cancer, bone formation disorders, seizures, and neurological disorders such as Alzheimer\u2019s disease. We cannot dismiss the harmful effects of the ingredients in conventional deodorant. <\/span><\/p>\n
