Why choose a natural deodorant?
Natural deodorants, also called "green deodorants", are increasingly popular for combating perspiration while taking care of your skin. Eco-friendly and suitable for sensitive skin, these hygiene products are part of a zero waste approach. Here are five reasons to adopt organic and natural deodorants on a daily basis.
Why ditch conventional deodorants?
In recent years, conventional deodorants have been criticized for their hazardous ingredients. The main culprits are the aluminum salts present in large quantities in these products. These components, when penetrating the body, weaken the skin's protection and have been associated with an increase in breast cancer in women.
Many people are now choosing deodorants without aluminum salts to preserve their health and protect their skin. Conventional deodorants also contain endocrine disruptors, chemical preservatives and parabens, substances that are particularly worrying for skin weakened by repeated hair removal and irritation.
Opting for natural deodorants is also part of an ecological approach. Aerosol deodorants contain polluting solvents that contribute to global warming and can cause asthma. In addition, their non-recyclable plastic packaging increases their carbon footprint.
The benefits of natural deodorants
1. **Respect for the environment** : Unlike conventional stick or spray deodorants, natural solid deodorants do not pollute. They do not release volatile organic compounds or worsen the degradation of the ozone layer. Using environmentally friendly hygiene products helps reduce our carbon footprint and supports green initiatives.
2. **Respect your body** : Hypoallergenic natural deodorants, made with ingredients such as essential oils, protect the skin without damaging it. Unlike conventional products, they do not block pores but gently reduce bad odors while moisturizing the skin.
3. **Economical and sustainable** : A solid natural deodorant generally lasts longer than classic deodorants. Easy to use, simply wet the bar before application. Its composition, often based on coconut oil, provides a prolonged feeling of comfort.
4. **Protection of skin flora** : An organic solid deodorant preserves the skin flora, essential for protecting the skin from external aggressions. It helps maintain healthy, hydrated and soothed skin, while offering antibacterial properties.
5. **Effectiveness against perspiration and odors** : Organic deodorants, often made with baking soda, are powerful antibacterials. They are as effective, if not more so, than conventional versions, provided you choose a formula that is suited to each skin type.
In short, natural deodorant is a perfect alternative to combine effectiveness, respect for the skin and the environment.
Which natural deodorant should you choose?
There is no single natural deodorant, and everyone can find the one that suits them best. For pregnant women, children, and people with particularly sensitive skin, it is recommended to choose an organic deodorant without essential oils. On the other hand, for those looking for antiperspirant and antibacterial properties, a natural deodorant containing essential oil drops is a great option. Scents vary and can include rose, palmarosa, lavender, or even mandarin.
For people who are intolerant to bicarbonate, there are natural deodorants without this ingredient, particularly suitable for very fragile skin.
And you, what type of deodorant do you use? A deodorant balm, a solid deodorant or a stick deodorant?
