Deodorant
Deodorant without aluminum
A deodorant is one of the care products that most people use on a daily basis. It stays on your skin all day and until you wash again.
And then the skin under the arms is extra exposed, as it is often damp and maybe also shaved, which makes it extra susceptible to harmful chemistry.
Therefore, a natural deodorant is quite important in relation to prioritizing natural care products.
And natural deodorants are first and foremost aluminium-free deodorants. Aluminum is the antiperspirant ingredient in most deodorants. Aluminum closes the sweat glands so that the body cannot get rid of its waste products. This is the absolute biggest problem with aluminum in deodorants.
And then natural deodorants are also about deodorants that are based on good and healthy oils (and not water) that are free of parabens, perfumes and essential oils.
Natural deodorant
If you have the courage to create your own deodorant, there are two effective solutions that I also really like.
One is a homemade deodorant based on coconut oil and baking soda. Simply mix 1 part baking soda with 5 parts coconut oil and you have a super effective and natural deodorant.
The other natural and aluminum-free deodorant solution that you can make at home is lemon.
Quite simply and simply, you can use a lemon wedge or a lemon wedge as deodorant under the arms. It is super effective and it also smells fresh and delicious.
With both of the above solutions, however, you must be careful about using them in freshly shaved armpits.
