Deodorants are an essential part of our
repertoire, but how many of us actually take
the pain to check the ingredients used in
making these anti-stink formulas?
.
First you need to know the difference between
a deodorant and an antiperspirant, because we
tend to mix these two up.
An antiperspirant has chemicals like aluminum
to stop sweating altogether. The aluminum
salts plug the sweat glands, preventing
perspiration.
.
On the other hand, a deodorant masks and
neutralizes odor. But where does the stink
come from in the first place?
When the glands in your armpits emit sweat,
the liquid interacts with the bacteria in the
area to emit unsavory smells.
.
There are deodorants that are also anti-
perspirants, those are the ones you would be
needing to avoid.
Natural deodorants use essential oils like tea
tree and witch hazel to curb the bacteria.
Some also have other less harmful minerals like
zinc ricinoleate and sodium bicarbonate to
keep the underarm area dry without stopping
sweat altogether.
.
In addition to getting rid of aluminum, most
are also paraben free and safe for sensitive
skin.
Considering the differences between these
two, it goes without saying that deodorants
are far better than anti-pespirants.
.
Just remember to look out for aluminium when
next you are shopping for your toletries.
Better yet, go for deodorants with nature
based ingredients.

so please share, what are the best you've ever used

I see Aluminium Chlorohydrate in my spray - Suremen, is it modified Aluminium?. I also see Benzyl Benzoate which has got me worried... Besides SURE I find it uncomfortable using other products. AXE is cool but parfum doesnt last. Any recommendations?

Incase...Prefer any Smart Collections.

What about this forever product antiperspirant stick. I think it contains natural products.
