What happens when you switch to natural deodorants?

Have you ever wondered about the things you put on your skin every day? Well, deodorant is one of those things. Many people are now choosing natural deodorants over traditional ones. But what's the big deal? Why are people making the switch? Stick around as we dive into the world of natural deodorants and uncover the benefits they offer.

Get ready to learn more about how switching to natural deodorant can make a positive difference for you and the environment!

Understanding Traditional Deodorants, Ingredients and Health Risks

Traditional deodorants are those you often see in the store with lots of scents and promises. They keep your armpits smelling nice and fresh. But did you know they have some stuff in them that might not be so good for you?

Ingredients used in Traditional Deodorants

Traditional deodorants often have things like aluminium and parabens. These are chemicals that some people worry might cause health issues. For example, aluminium might be linked to breast cancer, and parabens could mess with your hormones.

Health Risks and Considerations

Another thing to consider is how these deodorants work. They often stop sweat by blocking your sweat glands, which might not be the best thing for your body. Some studies even say that blocking your sweat glands can stop your body from getting rid of toxins.

So, while traditional deodorants might keep you smelling fresh, they could also be doing things to your body that aren't so great. It's important to know what's in the products you're using and how they might affect you.

Major Benefits of Switching To Natural Deodorants

When you switch to a natural deodorant, you're giving your body some awesome perks! Let's dive into why it's so cool -

Gentle on Skin: Natural deodorants like our “Free Spirit” and “Happy Dance” use friendly ingredients like coconut oil and shea butter so they're gentle and won't irritate your skin like commercial deodorants can.

No Nasty Chemicals: Traditional deodorants often have chemicals like aluminium and parabens. But natural deodorants? Nope, natural deodorants like our balm deodorants are free from all that which means you're not putting any chemicals on your skin. Instead, they boast traditional and effective ingredients like Alum, Coconut Oil, Kaolin Clay, etc.

Fresh and Natural Fragrances: Ever wonder why you smell funky? It's because of bacteria mixing with sweat. Natural deodorants use good-smelling essential oils to kick those stinky bacteria to the curb. We use essential oils like Vetiver, Bergamot, Lemon, Myrrh, Patchouli, etc.

Healthy Choice: Some studies suggest that the chemicals in traditional deodorants might not be great for your health so by switching to natural, you're making a smart choice for your body.

Transition Period - From Chemical Deodorants to Natural Deodorants

When you decide to switch to a natural deodorant, your body might need some time to adjust. This adjustment time is called the transition period. During this time, your body is getting used to the new product, and some changes might happen.

What to Expect During the Transition Period

• Increased Sweat: Don't be surprised if you notice more sweat than usual during the transition period. This is because your body is getting rid of toxins and adjusting to the natural ingredients in the deodorant.
• Temporary Odour: You might experience a temporary increase in body odour. This is normal and happens because your body is detoxifying. It's just a phase, and it will pass.

Improved Odour Control

Switching to a natural deodorant might just be the solution you need to deal with unpleasant smells! Natural deodorants work wonders in keeping bad odour at bay, thanks to their special ingredients like alum, baking soda, noni and other plant extracts. These ingredients don't just cover up bad smells, they actually fight the bacteria that cause them, leaving you feeling fresh and confident all day long.

Tips To Make The Switch Easy

• Begin by using your new natural deodorant every other day instead of every day.
• Before making the switch, consider doing an armpit detox. You can do this by gently exfoliating your underarms and using a gentle body exfoliant to draw out impurities.
• Be patient as your body might need some time to adjust, so don't get discouraged if you experience a little extra sweat or odour at first.
• Drinking plenty of water helps your body flush out toxins, which can also help reduce body odour.
• Make sure to keep your underarms clean and dry throughout the day.

Final Words

Switching to natural deodorants might seem confusing at first, but it's worth it for your health. Natural deodorants use gentle ingredients from plants and essential oils, which are better for your skin. Even though it might feel strange at first, stick with it! Your body needs time to adjust, but soon you'll notice you smell just fine without all those harsh chemicals. Plus, by choosing natural deodorant, you're helping to protect the planet by reducing harmful chemicals in the environment.
