I don't proclaim to be a natural beauty product junkie but recently I decided I would start switching over a few of my products to cut out excess chemicals since I do tend to use a lot of beauty products. The first thing I replaced was deodorant at the suggestion of my chiropractor. But of course the lawyer in me couldn't just take her word for it, I need some information and had to do some research. Here are the two convincing factors that lead me to make a switch:
- antiperspirant - clogs pores to prevent perspiration. The built up sweat bacteria that hasn't been released actually causes odor problems
- parabens - antiperspirants and deodorants have parabens which many believe cause a wide array of problems. In deodorant it is thought to contribute to breast cancer as parabens have estrogenic activity on breast cells
I prefer the Nourish Organics Fresh & Dry Natural Deodorant Almond Vanilla because it reminds me of regular deodorant (texture, application and packaging shape), however, the Crystal Body Deodorant Stick leaves basically nothing on your skin - it is super strange and fascinating at the same time.
