All of our deodorants are aluminum and baking soda free. Our natural and organic ingredients are meticulously chosen and the end result is an effective and gentle deodorant perfect for everyday use. The combination of tea tree and lemon essential oils give this deodorant a refreshing clean smell. We also use jojoba oil in our deodorants. It is a wonderfully moisturizing oil that absorbs quickly and cleanly. (Full ingredients list at bottom)
Most commercial antiperspirants and deodorants use aluminum and baking soda. Aluminum works by clogging your sweat glands so you don't sweat. However convenient, it prohibits a helpful bodily function. The toxic materials ,such as heavy metals, normally released by sweating don't get released regularly when using an antiperspirant. Our deodorant are not antiperspirants and will not prevent you from sweating. The ingredients we chose naturally guard against the odor associated with sweating and help you keep dry by absorbing moisture. Baking soda, although effective in deodorants, it can easily irritate the skin and cause rashes and the feeling of being scalded after repetitive use.
When you first stop using an antiperspirant you may experience an adjustment period where you seem to have an increased odor. Once your body flushes any built up toxins this usually subsides. There are several arm pit detox recipes available if you find you need this and we would be happy to recommend one, but find it is usually not necessary.
