Why you should be using a natural crystal deodorant instead of sprays and roll ons.
Everyone gets sweaty armpits. Deodorants come in many forms – from toxic, chemically infused sprays, that harm both you and the environment, and, due to the aluminium that clogs your pores, stop you actually sweating, which is bad, as sweat is there for a reason – to release toxins from your body. To roll ons, that aren’t as bad, but still fused with toxic ingredients and words you can’t pronounce (a good rule of thumb is don’t put anything in or on your body which has ingredients that you can’t pronounce). There are many options available to keep your natural odour down.
I have pit-tested many different natural deodorants and the best I have found is the very simple crystal deodorant salt stick. It is odour free and made of 100% natural mineral salts. It works by leaving a thin layer of the salt on your skin, which acts as a natural deodorant and inhibits the formation of body odour as you sweat.
You can buy salt sticks from some chemists and consciously minded supermarkets. Or, you can buy online, I found a good one from Highland Soaps for £3.50.
“Made purely from Ammonium alum, a natural antibacterial mineral salt that has been used for natural odour protection for hundred of years.”
