Importance Of Aluminum Free Deodorant

By Lisa Snyder


The body uses various ways to naturally eliminate toxins from its systems. Elimination of toxins occurs through the skin and other outlets, with the effect of causing the body to have a certain odor, which can be unpleasant in some cases. Therefore, the use of deodorants to manage body odor is common among many people. People invest a lot in choosing the right product and applying it regularly. The choice should ensure that the effect of the product lasts longer and the product contains no toxins.

When considering products that are toxin free, one category of deodorants ring a bell in the mind of most people. These are the aluminum free deodorant categories. There are many reasons and claims why avoiding deodorants that contain aluminium should be avoided. One of the reasons is that they cause cancer, although there is still no evidence to confirm that claim.

However, many reasons still exist for avoiding these products and adopting natural alternatives in their place. First, aluminium-based products produce a sweet smell, which only masks the body odor. This is contrasted from the working mechanism of natural alternatives which contain baking soda. Baking soda is a better solution for body odor management because it prevents odor-causing bacteria from forming. Thus, they provide a better option for managing odor.

Even though there is a no solid evidence linking aluminium to cancer, there has been a strong correlation between Alzheimer disease and diseases caused by high aluminum content in the body. This could imply that high content of aluminium may cause Alzheimer disease. That makes it necessary to avoid consumption of aluminium, especially with the increase in the level of prevalence of Alzheimer disease. More young people are currently being affected by the disease.

Pregnant women are advised to avoid aluminium-based deodorants. The reason for this is that they introduce toxic materials into the human body. In a similar fashion that smoking and drinking are discouraged for expectant women, chemical deodorants must be avoided. What the body of the mother takes in is passed into the body of the child. Therefore, the heavy metals passed to the unborn child from the body of the mother may affect it negatively.

Using natural deodorants helps to improve the health of the skin. On the other hand, applying heavy commercial deodorants results in tear and wear of the skin in the long run. The skin becomes dry and chaffed eventually. Similarly, the presence of parabens, which are estrogenic in these products make them dangerous. Absorption of estrogen through the skin results in imbalance of body hormones.

Some people have sensitive skins which may not do well with metal additives in deodorants. Application of these metals may result in heavy lumps, hives, and rashes among other effects. Chemical deodorants particularly cause adverse reaction. In contrast, natural products rarely cause adverse reactions in the skin when applied.

Finally, when comparing the prices, chemical deodorants are relatively more expensive that natural ones. That is another reason for going with natural alternatives. Purchases can be made online and from stores dealing in related products. All ingredients in a product are usually indicated on its container. The list should always be checked be purchasing.
