Probably one of the most cosmetic product used after the soap and toothpaste, is the deodorant! As you can read, it is not antiperspirant! When you switch to nontoxic and natural products, you learn that it is healthier to let your body sweat, instead of stopping it. Conventional antiperspirants stop the body to sweat, which actually doesn’t let your body eliminate toxins naturally. Nontoxic deodorants don’t stop the sweat, but they do absorb some if and mask the smell.
Right of the bat, when you switch from a conventional deodorant to a natural one, you have to allow how body to adjust, to actually let your armpits sweat again, in order to learn how to function normal again. So when you start sweating, your body is releasing toxins, so for a month or two, you might think, no natural deodorant works for you. But be patient! During winter, is the best time to switch, and sweat, and cleanse your armpits with just soap and water, to remove some of those toxins and “natural scent”. After this period you will try several deodorants and see what works best for you. Because natural deodorants often are made with different ingredients, it’s a trial and error at first to figure out.
All the products for the armpit area that I use, are made with only natural and organic ingredients, and I’m surprised how many brands actually listen, and they are ditching the plastic containers. 👏👏👏
So because the cold season is here, I prefer to give my armpits a break from using any deodorants, and instead I might use some deodorant sprays, because they are lighter and I’m not necessarily trying to completely stop sweating just slightly mask unpleasant smells, let’s say around the holidays table or while traveling.
