Natural vs. conventional deodorant

It would be misleading to claim that natural deodorant does not contain chemicals – Everything you touch is made of chemicals, including an apple .
However, many people, including myself, feel better using products with ingredients they can actually pronounce or recognize.

Make our natural deodorants

Instead of using aluminum chlorohydrate and aluminum zirconium to prevent sweating in natural deodorants we use:

• coconut oil,
• corn starch,
• tapioca,
• magnesium oil,
• decal
• many other natural ingredients.

Ingredients such as soda, essential oils, hydrolates, zeolite, black carbon They help neutralize odors caused by bacteria. They are well-known and generally considered safe, and it's always good to know what you're putting on your skin, although I think many people still don't understand exactly what and how. Well, we totally understand them.

Our company strives not to mislead our customers, but to offer you knowledge and experience through publications and blogs that are created. in collaboration with cosmetologists . We want you to be aware that not everything natural is great and everything unnatural is crap. I think that when it comes to deodorants, there are the most different opinions on which one to choose.

Just because a product is made with “ natural ingredients ” doesn’t mean your body won’t react to it. If you have sensitive skin, look for deodorants that are free of dyes, baking soda, alcohol, and synthetic fragrances.

Deodorant or antiperspirant

First, I want to clear up some confusion about the terms “ antiperspirant ” and “ deodorant .” The key a characteristic of antiperspirant is that it contains aluminum, which blocks the sweat glands and prevents you from sweating, which is definitely not good for your health, that much we know. Deodorant only neutralizes the bacteria in sweat and helps prevent odor , which means you'll still sweat, but you won't stink, provided you find a deodorant that protects you well.

What does the science say about aluminum-based antiperspirant?

You've probably heard all sorts of arguments about why you should use natural deodorant. Let's break down some of the most common arguments.

There is no conclusive evidence to prove a link between cancer and aluminum-based antiperspirant.

Although almost all scientists agree that there is no connection, some users and independent research claim that There is a strong link between aluminum-based antiperspirant and cancer , especially breast cancer. Rumors spread by word of mouth, email, the internet, blogs, and before we know it, thousands of people are more cautious. I am one of the latter.

Breast cancer It most commonly occurs in the upper outer tissue, which is geographically very close to where people use antiperspirant. The logic is that the tissue absorbs chemicals that cannot be sweated out (because, you wear antiperspirant) and causes cell mutations that then turn into cancer. However, a systematic review of the relationship between breast cancer and antiperspirants found that there was no evidence for this link. Still, I think it's worth considering .

It is also written that aluminum is more easily absorbed into the lymph nodes if we cut ourselves while shaving and then apply antiperspirant, because this can also cause cancer. Quite a bit has already been said, including by dermatologists, in connection with cuts and the passage of aluminum, as well as some other ingredients. The American Cancer Society reports that this claim is unfounded. However, this same society also reports that food, especially processed (delicacies), has no effect on the development or spread of cancer. Hm…

Antiperspirant and Alzheimer's

There is no doubt that they are cancer and Alzheimer's disease Horrible diseases. In their search for meaning behind these terrible illnesses, many turn to researching the products they use in their daily lives to try to discover whether they could be the culprit.

One such cause is the aluminum in common antiperspirant , which is said to cause abnormal cell growth that turns into cancerous tumors. That's why they started to spread. natural deodorants . Such deodorants are usually also free of parabens - preservatives that are believed to indirectly cause cancer.
Some studies from the 1960s found increased levels of aluminum in the brains of Alzheimer's patients, leading people to speculate that antiperspirant might be a cause of the condition. However, this link has been dismissed because there is no consistent, reputable science to back it up. Again, we don't know for sure, or we just don't want to. Judge for yourself.

What about parabens?

Parabens in antiperspirant should be the least of your worries when it comes to healthy skin.

Parabens are found in most conventional cosmetics and act as preservatives. Some research has shown that they have weak estrogenic properties, which is why some fear that they could contribute to increased cell division and eventually breast cancer. However, estrogen in the body is hundreds or even thousands of times more potent than parabens, so this is probably not a significant cause of breast cancer either.
Again, there is no clear evidence of a direct link between parabens and any specific health problems.

Still don't know whether to buy a natural deodorant or antiperspirant?

There's really no conclusive evidence that wearing aluminum-based antiperspirant will cause cancer or any other horrible disease. However, there are a number of cosmetic reasons that may convince you to try a natural deodorant.

While there is no evidence to prove any link between aluminum and breast cancer, Alzheimer's disease, or any other major health problem, it is also difficult to prove that such a relationship is impossible. If you are already more prone to any of these diseases and wearing a natural deodorant helps you “sleep” at night, we definitely applaud that!

Can natural deodorant protect against unpleasant odors as well as classic ones?

It depends on how prone you are to unpleasant odors, your hormonal profile, diet, activity level, etc.
Deodorants with baking soda are definitely the best, and here's why we don't want baking soda: we have already signed up here:
