Deodorant
Aluminum is one of the main concerns of what's in deodorant as it has been linked to breast cancer. But it is not the only concern. Most conventional deodorants contain many toxic chemicals, such as aluminum chlorohydrate, parabens, propylene glycol, triclosan, TEA, DEA, FD&C colors, and Talc. I personally try not to wear deodorant on a daily basis as I try to allow my body to sweat when needed as sweating is your body's way of releasing toxins. But If I know I am going to sweat and be around people I will use this nontoxic deodorant from face naturals it contains organic coconut oil, organic arrowroot powder, aluminum free baking soda and essential oils, that's it! There are many good natural deodorants out there so go check your deodorant and maybe consider switching
Another good option for deodorant is a brand called herbal magic that my sis in law found a few years ago for us. I like this deodorant because it is liquid roll on and I wear it when I have on dark clothes. I don't feel that it completely takes the smell away as the facenaturals deodorant does but it does help with the perspiring. It is still a great option as it contains: witch hazel, algae extract, aloe Vera, baking soda, and herbal extracts. It does add a jasmine fragrance not an essential oil so if you are avoiding fragrance (as many fragrances have hidden toxins) then this may not be for you. I use this one more sparingly just because of the added fragrance.
