Best non-toxic deodorants that really work!
Okay girls, it’s 2018 and we all move our bodies a LOT, so I think it’s time to talk about switching to a non-toxic deodorant! Standard antiperspirants and deodorants contain potentially harmful ingredients that have been linked with negative health issues, and when you think about the fact your skin is your biggest organ and absorbs whatever you put on it, checking and double-checking those ingredients becomes pretty important!
Here’s a rundown of what you want to avoid in your deodorant...
Aluminum – the active ingredient in many antiperspirants* – linked to Alzheimer’s and breast cancer
Parabens – hormone disrupting chemicals often used as preservatives
Phthalates – hormone disrupting chemicals hiding in the fragrance or other ingredients
Fragrance – a catchy term for thousands of chemicals which can cause allergies or worse
Triclosan – an endocrine disruptor and probable carcinogen
Propylene glycol – when derived from natural gas (most common form), it is a potential allergen and a non-renewable resource
*Fun Fact - Sweat is our body’s natural way of releasing toxins so stopping sweat should not be the goal at all. Instead, we want to absorb the sweat from our skin which can be done with the below natural products.
