Deodorant
WHAT'S IN THE DEODORANT YOU'VE BEEN USING?
Aluminum - possible link to breast cancer
Parabens - synthetic estrogens; hormone disruptor
Propylene Glycol - damage to the central nervous system
Phthalates - cell mutation; hormone disrupture
Triclosan - classified as a pesticide by the FDA
HOW DOES OUT DEODORANT DIFFER FROM OTHER ALUMINUM BASED BRANDS?
Our deodorant contains Bentonite Clay. Bentonite Clay is negatively charged which forms from volcanic ash. It will bind to positively charged metals such as Aluminum. All of the years of packing on aluminum into our sensitive under arm area will be absorbed in bentonite clay. Other ingredients such as diatomaceous earth will combat the bacteria, reducing odor. A small amount of baking soda is also adding to mask smell.
​
BAKING SODA VS SENSITIVE (NON BAKING SODA)
Baking Soda is amazing at absorbing moisture and because of its alkaline pH, it neutralizes acidic substances. This is perfect for controlling body odors. In the natural community, there has been a lot of talk around baking soda's presence in natural deodorant. When used, some customers experience a mild reaction because of how high baking soda's pH is (8.3) and how acidic their sweat is. If you fear you may fall into this category please refer to our sensitive deodorant. Instead of baking soda, we use zinc oxide. Zinc Oxide works to help reduce odor-causing bacteria by minimizing the growth of new bacteria.
