Let’s Talk Deodorant

More specifically all natural deodorant. The most important product in your personal care routine to switch to a safe alternative.

Why?

-Generally you apply deodorant everyday

-Its a product that is applied to your largest organ (Skin) and applied near your lymph nodes.

Think about it, Studies show that 99% of breast cancer tumor tissue contains at least one paraben, 60% contains 5 or more. Deodorant also contains Aluminum… which a lot of studies link aluminum to Alzheimers.

I share this to bring awareness. Not to scare anyone.

I get it, starting in middle school and all through high school I struggled majorly with sweating. I was placed on several prescription deodorants through the years but they were so harsh I would go through an allergic reaction to them and the vicious cycle continued. Looking back I now understand why I was sweating so much, my hormones were out of whack and my body was literally crying for help to reduce my body burden. But we didn't know that at the time. Again, here is my philosophy on when you know better, you do better. Well now I know better. So I have been using natural deodorant for about 4 years now, and I'll never look back.

I have an entire list of safe deodorants to use (don't be fooled by greenwashing!) In my toxin free living group on the complimentary “Toxin Free Masterlist” I also talk about armpit detoxes… yes it's a thing, and I still regularly do them so my natural deodorant can work well.

The trick with natural deodorant is time, listening to your body and assisting it with armpit detoxes and NOT supplementing for those “breakthrough” days with your toxic deodorant. Just throw that stuff out.
