MY THREE FAVORITE ALUMINUM FREE DEODORANTS
Since Aluminum has been associated with a variety of health issues (including breast cancer and Alzheimer’s disease), many of us are opting for deodorants that are Aluminum free.
But before we understand what to look for in a deodorant, it's important to know the difference between deodorant and antiperspirant.
Deodorants are meant to neutralize odor by killing the bacteria that causes it or by simply masking it. Antiperspirants, on the other hand, block the sweat glands in order to prevent perspiring in the first place. The problem with many antiperspirants is that they contain harsh chemicals like aluminum, which absorb into the skin. From a nature standpoint, it makes more sense to use deodorants.
Here are my three favorite Aluminum Free deodorant:
Crystal Body Deodorant Stick
Hypoallergenic
Eliminates Odor
Lasts Over One Year
For Men & Women
Unscented, Non-Staining
Can Be Used On Underarms and Feet
100% Natural Mineral Salts.
Natural Deodorant Protection
Crystal Stick™ Body Deodorant is made of natural mineral salts and is completely free of perfumes and chemicals. It eliminates body odor. Crystal Stick™ will leave an invisible protective barrier against odor-causing bacteria on your skin. It is unscented, hypoallergenic, non-sticky and non-staining. Crystal Stick™ is guaranteed to last over a year of daily use.
This is the one I use daily and I LOVE it, mainly because it works, it’s under $10 and it last a very long time. The only “negative” is that it doesn’t have a scent.
ARM & HAMMER™ Essentials™ Solid Deodorant, Wide Stick
Fight odor with the combined power of ARM & HAMMER™ Baking Soda and natural plant extracts.
No aluminum
No parabens
No colorants
No animal-derived ingredients
Sometimes I use this one too and I like it a lot because it has a nice fresh fragrance to it and it’s as well under $10, but I find that when I sweat a lot, especially during a work out, it doesn’t work as well as the Chrystal stick.
LAVANILA The Healthy Deodorant Vanilla Lavender
Made of essential oils of Spanish lavender and soft vanilla, it creates a light and powdery fresh sensation.
This All-Natural, freshly scented deodorant provides superior, long-lasting odor protection.. Clinically Tested. Dermatologist Recommended.
No Aluminum.
No Paraben.
No Propylene Glycol.
No Harsh Chemicals.
This is another favorite of mine. I love its fragrance, but it’s a bit more expensive (over $10) and you need to be careful because it can leave white streaks on your tops.
Do you use a different one that you love? Please share it with us:-)!
