With everything we read about deodorants, we can ask questions about what to put on your skin...
It's very simple, most commercial deodorants are full of products that are dangerous to your health!
Parabens, formaldehyde, triclosan are all part of their composition.
And the most problematic remains aluminum, used in antiperspirants, which clogs the pores of the skin to absorb moisture.
It would be responsible for many breast cancers and other diseases.
Fortunately, to stop putting anything on your skin, here are 9 effective and 100% natural deodorant recipes . Watch:
Using baking soda as a deodorant is a simple way to fight body odor!

You can also mix 1 part baking soda and 6 parts cornstarch.

If you are looking for a natural deodorant without toxic products for your skin, know that there are also commercial ones.
Most organic cosmetic brands offer natural deodorants without questionable products. Brands like Weleda, Marilou Bio, Lavera or Avril have a complete range of deodorants with different scents.
And don't worry, just because it's made from natural products doesn't mean you're going to smell sweaty!
There are also deodorant stones that look like large, smooth crystals. They are composed of aluminum sulphate and potassium. They must be wet before application.
The difference between potassium alum and aluminum hydrochloride is that the former has a much larger molecule that would not be absorbed through the skin.
