Conventional deodorants contain ingredients that stop the body perspiring or mask the smell of perspiration with strong synthetic fragrances. Some of the most common ingredients in conventional deodorant are aluminium, phthalates, parabens, propylene glycol, triclosan and talc powder. These have been linked to certain cancers, birth defects, seizures, Alzheimer’s, hormone disruption, skin irritation, allergies, infertility, bone disorders and other health issues.
The skin under the arms is thin and absorbent so it is unwise to use products that contain harmful chemicals which will be absorbed into the blood stream. Natural and organic deodorant works by neutralising odour-causing bacteria with gentle, natural antimicrobial ingredients.
Many companies now offer natural and organic deodorant that actually works and does not contain harmful chemicals and preservatives. The Australian Organic Directory lists companies that supply natural, organic, aluminium-free deodorant, organic deodorant paste, and natural roll on deodorant.
