Why should you choose a Balm Deodorant or a Gel Deodorant for you and your family?

There is a lot of conversation around commercial deodorants or chemical deodorants versus natural balm deodorant and rightly so. Natural deodorant balm in India is an essential part of daily body care routine. The Indian natural deodorant balm market has been flooded with chemically loaded variants that are not only harmful to the body but also to the environment. They are chemical-laden and tend to clog pores, making it harder for the body to naturally perspire. On the other hand, natural deodorant balm still helps to prevent odour by keeping natural bacteria from mixing with the salt and water on the skin while allowing your body to sweat the way it should!

Why is using chemical loaded deodorants bad for you?

Whenever we are reading about the harmful effects of using chemical based deodorants we often come across information that tells us how artificial scents and antiperspirants cause various allergies, skin irritation and rashes.

The reason behind this is simple. We spray or apply the deodorants directly on our skin which is highly absorbent in nature. Infact, over prolonged use, with the pores on our skin and our sense of smell, these chemicals pave a way into our bloodstream and become the reason for cancer and cognitive disorders.

We always recommend our customers to take out 5 minutes and read the label of the products they are purchasing. Being aware, mindful and conscious is everything!

Benefits of using natural deodorant balm or commonly available lemon balm deodorants

Switching to natural deodorant offers both personal and environmental advantages, maintaining effectiveness comparable to conventional deodorants you might be familiar with.

1) Natural Odour Management

It's a common misconception that sweat is responsible for body odour. In reality, odour arises when sweat interacts with skin bacteria. Traditional antiperspirants/deodorants containing aluminium and other chemicals can exacerbate body odour by reacting with sweat. On the other hand, natural deodorant balm with ingredients such as Noni Extract, Zinc Lactate, Bearberry, and Daisy, Baking Soda and Alum don’t clog the pores, rather only work on neutralising the natural body odour.

2) Promotes Natural Sweating

Sweating is a critical bodily function for temperature regulation. Traditional deodorants can block sweat glands, hindering this natural process and potentially disrupting your skin's health over time. Transitioning to natural balm deodorants might require a detox period of 2-4 weeks for your underarms to rebalance, but the shift away from harmful chemicals is beneficial in the long run.

3) Non Toxic

Common deodorants often contain undesirable chemicals that can be absorbed by the skin. Opting for natural deodorants with botanical ingredients for odour control prioritises your health and safety. Our Lemon Balm Deodorant, for instance, uses natural essential oils and organic baking soda to manage moisture and odour effectively for individuals.

4) Gentle on Skin

Natural balm deodorant is formulated with skin-friendly ingredients like beeswax, coconut oil, and cocoa butter, reducing the risk of irritation and providing a smooth application. For those with sensitive skin, our Prebiotic Gel Deodorants, which are organic deodorants for women, aluminium-free and infused with organic essential oils, offer freshness and skin soothing effects without any irritation.

5) Environmentally Friendly

Choosing natural deodorants for sensitive skin with natural and sustainable ingredients not only benefits you but also the environment. At Raw Beauty, our commitment to holistic, sustainable, and non toxic beauty includes eco-friendly packaging for our natural deodorants, aligning with our dedication to ecological responsibility.
