Deodorants without aluminum: types and applications

Deodorants without aluminum, aggressive substances, parabens are increasingly becoming the choice of people responsible for their own health. Organic deodorants contain crystalline minerals that are not harmful to the body.

Choosing a paraben-free product helps reduce the risks of dermatitis, allergic reactions of a different type, prevents clogging of pores, and accelerates the elimination of toxins. In addition, deodorants without aluminum help maintain normal sweating, which is important enough for proper body thermoregulation.

The modern beauty industry offers a wide range of products for every taste. The list of the best companies and the rating of natural deodorants for women without aluminum salts and other dangerous ingredients will help you to decide which offers should be considered first. Contrary to popular belief, modern natural remedies for the smell of sweat cost not much more expensive than their counterparts, and their lifespan is often much more impressive. What is worth considering before changing deodorants with aluminum and parabens to organic? Let's try to figure it out.

The main feature of natural deodorants is the absence in their composition of a number of substances that are used in popular chemical products. The thing is that modern antiperspirants - sprays, sticks, rollers - are no longer aimed at masking an unpleasant odor. They include substances that can completely block the work of sweat glands for a certain period of time. Without aluminum salts, this is impossible.

The following substances are considered the most dangerous:

• aluminum hydrochloride;
• aluminum chloride;
• zirconium aluminum.

The mass fraction of these substances is up to 20% of the total volume. Getting on the skin, they clog the sweat glands, disrupting the natural course of biological processes, with a significant increase in concentration, penetrate the tissues, causing the development of tumor processes, endocrine disorders.

Natural deodorants contain aluminum in microdoses, since potassium-alumina compounds are used here - crystals of natural origin, also known as alum. They slightly reduce the activity of sweat glands, avoiding the troubles in the form of wet armpits of clothing.

Paraben-free organic deodorants are another important argument in favor of choosing natural sweat protection. These cosmetic preservatives are increasingly being blamed for significantly increasing the risk of cancer. In their properties, parabens are similar to the natural sex hormones of a woman - estrogens, but they are much weaker and can negatively affect the hormonal background, provoking various disorders. Frequent contact of the armpit skin with paraben-containing agents is called one of the factors affecting the development of breast cancer.

What should be in the composition of natural deodorant? Potassium alum in crystalline or powder form, essential oils in a safe concentration, may be added soda to fight bacteria, clay.

Funds are issued in the form of:

• thick paste, more like wax;
• sticks with a creamy viscous structure;
• rollers in which the crystal is given a spherical shape;
• crystalline-based aerosols;
• powder (in the form of powder);
• solid crystalline minerals.

The most popular are natural deodorants in the form of alunite crystals containing sodium, potassium and aluminum sulfate in safe dosages. With their help, you can normalize sweating and ensure that the glands work in a comfortable mode even under the most intense loads.

The main benefits of organic deodorants are obvious.

1. No restrictions on use. Safe natural deodorants are suitable even for pregnant and lactating women. They can be used by heavily sweating teenagers, the elderly, men and women with different levels of physical activity.
2. Universality. Mineral protection against sweat can be used on those parts of the body where it is impossible to apply a regular spray or stick - under the chest, in the intimate area, on the legs, palms, behind the ears and in the decollete zone. If a person in the heat shines and sweats a lot, an organic product will help reduce discomfort.
3. Reduced sweating. With long-term use, the effect is quite persistent. At the same time, natural deodorant suppresses the bacterial microflora.
4. No marks on clothes. You can forget about white and yellow spots, which can not be removed even by expensive means.
5. The possibility of combining with your favorite perfume, eau de toilette. Organic sweat products are often released without perfumes, or essential oils are used as such.
6. Profitability. If we talk about the crystal, then it will be enough for 6-12 months of constant use.
7. Possibility of use on irritated or damaged skin after shaving, shugaring, depilation. Conventional antiperspirants cannot be used in this case.
8. Lack of discomfort after use. The skin is dry, not sticky, pleasant to the touch, without a feeling of tightness.
9. A wide selection of forms suitable for use. You can find your option among the variety of available solutions.
10. No health risks. The minerals used in organic-type deodorants are part of baby powders and have been known for centuries as effective scavengers for unpleasant odors.

Among the minuses of natural deodorants, there can be noted a certain difference in price (with a longer service life of organic products), short-term action - you will have to carry your sweat remedy with you.
