Why Aluminum-Free Deodorant

How Do Underarm
Deodorants Work?

While most
people use the terms antiperspirant and deodorant interchangeably,
the two are not the same.

Antiperspirant
contains aluminum salts. Deodorants do not. And, by shopping for
the product, you’ve already seen that the majority of the products
sold today have both attributes in their formulas.

Antiperspirants
containing aluminum,
work to stop completely perspiration from occurring. Deodorants
do not contain aluminum. Deodorants allow perspiration. They work
to kill the bacteria that causes odor when we perspire. From a purely
natural standpoint, it makes more sense for us to use deodorants,
as it is clearly a more natural process to allow our bodies to sweat.

Of course none
of us wants to emit an unpleasant, offensive odor, but aluminum-free
underarm deodorants do work to keep us feeling clean and fresh.
Most commercial brands of deodorant contain a variety of harsh chemicals
that are detrimental to our health. Only one of them is aluminum,
which can be toxic and is potentially quite dangerous to our health.

The Dangers
of Using Products Containing Aluminum?

Aluminum-free
underarm deodorants should consist of therapeutic-grade essential
oils and all natural ingredients. This is much better for your body
overall, since you’re not taking in all the toxins that are present
in regular deodorants and antiperspirants. Guess what? Regular antiperspirants
can do damage topically, too.

Many people
are allergic to the aluminum and other toxins in the products, including
the synthetic fragrances and other things. If you find that your
underarms are irritated, it may be an allergic reaction to your
product, and not just the sweat from exertion. The focus today is
on aluminum because it’s so toxic to the body.

Why is Aluminum
Harmful to our Bodies?

Aluminum has
been associated with a variety of health issues, including:

Seizures
Breast Cancer
Alzheimer’s
Disease
Bone Formation
Disorders
Kidney
Problems
