Common deodorants including big brand names contain aluminium and a number of other chemicals whose effect on the human body are not entirely known, and according to some could be linked with breast cancer.
Every morning, you will apply deodorant or worse, antiperspirants to your armpits. Aluminium is what gives antiperspirants their wetness-fighting ability, and they're highly effective. Commercial deodorants can contain up to 25 percent aluminum salts by weight. The problem is nobody really knows what effect aluminum chlorohydrate or aluminum zirconium has on the human body or the numerous other aluminium salts, parabens or triclosan found in all deodorants. Also, something to take into consideration is that these aluminium salts will be washed away into sewers and then eventually back into nature after your shower.
Also consider what chemicals, coloring, chemical scents were used in the process of making these deodorants before this arrives on the shopping aisle and what effect this has had on the environment and will have when you wash it away everyday.
Natural deodorants contain 100% all natural mineral salts, nothing else ! All of these deodorants are hypoallergenic, contain no aluminium chlorohydrate, are paraben free, alcohol-free, non-sticky, and won´t leave a white stain on your clothes like other deodorants can. I know some of you might be sceptic about the effectiveness, so I´ve taken it upon myself to test one of these in the rugged environment of South America J. There are many different types of salt crystal salt deodorant available and I guess since they all contain the same ingredients, they should all have the same effect. Some are lightly scented too. I´ve been using the Salt of the Earth Natural deodorant and I have to say it works wonders. I´ve been doing a lot of physical work, so sweating buckets and it´s been very effective in these type of situations.
