With the beauty and skincare community leaning towards natural, organic products, deodorants haven’t been left behind too. Commercial deodorants and antiperspirants contain aluminium which can clog the sweat glands. There is little scientific study which concludes whether aluminium in Deodorants and antiperspirants causes any serious illness or not. To be honest, people are safer than being sorry while switching to natural deodorants. That is why we will be checking the list of natural deodorants in India.
Deodorants are majorly used to mask the body odour unlike the antiperspirants which prevents the sweat and odour. So natural deodorants perform the same job sans the long lasting effect. Most natural deodorants are housed in a stick form which make reapplication easy and mess free.
Natural deodorants use butters, baking soda, essential oils and waxes as ingredients. Ingredients are definitely good and gentle on the skin if you can tolerate EOs well(except some EOs) as most brands use EOs in deodorants to mask the body odour. Also one must keep the check of shelf life that varies according to the brand. Natural deodorants are definitely heavy on the pockets. Also don’t forget to follow an armpit detox if you regularly use natural deodorants.
