Deodorants that are Natural, Eco Friendly and Work!

Selecting the right deodorants that are natural, eco friendly and actually work; just got easier! Most people choose a deodorant just for the scent or even based on price. Very few actually consider the nasty chemicals lurking in their newly bought arm pit sweetener. Whilst others are on a quest to find the best antiperspirant to stop themselves sweating. If that’s you stop!!! Sweating is a completely natural process and an essential function of your body. We all need to sweat just without the pit stink.

Why Use a Natural Deodorant?

Natural deodorants are better for your health. Many deodorants are made using chemicals like paraben or aluminium to supposedly get the job done. Parabens are thought to be harmful to the body’s hormone levels and aluminium can irritate the skin. Outside of these issues, many deodorants are also not vegan friendly or cruelty-free. Having said that not all natural deodorants are vegan and cruelty-free so you need to check beforehand.

Avoid Pit Stained Clothes

We’ve all seen those yucky yellow underarm stains and hope ours are not the same. Truth be told sweat is not yellow it’s actually a clear liquid. The reason your clothes turn yellow is down to the proteins in your sweat reacting with the aluminium and other chemicals in your antiperspirant. So, if you want to avoid pit stains choosing natural deodorants that don’t contain aluminium are the way to go!

Save Money using Natural Deodorants

Yes, indeed you can save money using natural deodorants. For example, our Himalayan Salt Deodorants could last months…just as long as you don’t drop them! Himalayan salt deodorants work by neutralising armpit odours. Extremely simple to use, just wet the stone and rub it under the armpit. The layer of salt left behind neutralises bacteria that cause armpit odour whilst allowing the body to naturally sweat……without the stink from smelly armpits!! It’s genius!!!
