And because estrogen can promote breast cancer cell growth, some scientists argue that aluminum-based compounds could contribute to the development of breast cancer.īecause of these concerns, it's no surprise that some people are choosing to go natural.

While there is no scientific evidence linking the use of aluminum deodorants with breast cancer, 'some research suggests that aluminum-containing underarm antiperspirants, which are applied frequently and left on the skin near the breast, may be absorbed by the skin and have estrogen-like (hormonal) effects,' according to the National Cancer Institute. Exploring clean beauty products like natural deodorants can come with its common concerns like how your body might react - if you'll sweat more, how a natural deodorant will make you smell and whether it's actually better for you. If it feels nerve-racking making that switch from aluminum deodorant to natural deodorant, don't sweat it.

There are products available to ease the transition if you need them! I didn’t know about these but I’ve heard good things about charcoal soap to wash the area and underarm masks.We updated this article in July 2022 to ensure all picks vetted by the Good Housekeeping Institute Beauty Lab were available, in stock and correctly priced.

But you can still make it happen in the summer!

For obvious reasons, it’s easier to make the switch in the colder months (when you aren’t sweating as much).

It’s also helpful to wash/rinse the area with water after exercising or sweating a lot. Just be aware and be prepared to reapply as needed. I don’t sweat a lot in general but I did notice that my underarms felt more wet than usual.

You might sweat more during this adjustment period.

A good natural deodorant will have naturally antibacterial ingredients, absorb sweat (thanks to baking soda and/or tapioca starch), and keep you smelling fresh! Understand that the function of a natural deodorant is NOT to block the sweat but to neutralize/mask odor.If you’ve been using a product that contains aluminum the skin under your arms is likely in need of a “detox” to open things back up and restore your body’s natural sweating process.This is mostly because antiperspirants (containing aluminum) prevent wetness by blocking sweat from exiting the body. It takes about a month to adjust to the change.What to expect when you switch to clean/natural deodorant Taos Aer is an all time favorite for luxurious clean beauty! I also use their organic lip balm and mineral SPF regularly. I love to support small brands that come from my hometown of Taos, NM. Most importantly it helps me feel fresh and confident throughout the day! On extra hot or active days I carry a travel size in my purse to reapply if needed. It’s high performance while still being gentle on my skin. It’s award winning formula effectively neutralizes odor-causing bacteria and absorbs excess moisture. Speaking of ingredients, Taos Aer is made with high quality, naturally derived essential oils and mineral powders. Lavender Myrrh, Palo Santo Blood Orange, and Citrus Vetivert (extra strength) are also available. My personal favorite is Ginger Grapefruit, but all of the fragrances are wonderful. Highly concentrated, only a small amount is necessary and one container lasts a while! Because its waterless it doesn’t contain fillers, just active ingredients for more value overall.

It has a silky smooth gel to powder formula that feels really good on my skin, never sticky or wet.
