Description
This extra strength spray is formulated with magnesium to bind to and neutralize odor causing bacteria. It comes in three scent options- Mountain fresh (pine, eucalyptus, and tea tree), Lemon Grapefruit, and unscented. This is not an antiperspirant, and as a matter of fact we don't recommend inhibiting perspiration at all. Sweating is an important way that our bodies flush our toxins. This deodorant will simply ensure that you don't stink when you sweat. It's been tested and proven to work even on the sweatiest teenage athletes.
Let’s chat about what’s wrong with the ingredients found in conventional deodorant.
Aluminum – Most antiperspirants and some deodorants – including some “natural crystal” deodorants – contain forms of aluminum, which clog sweat glands to stop perspiration. Aluminum is an endocrine disruptor, and causes adverse developmental, reproductive, neurological, and immune effects in humans, abnormal growth patterns and neurodevelopmental delays in children.
Phthalates – This category of chemicals helps other chemicals stick to our skin and/or penetrate more deeply into the epidermis. They’re linked to weight gain, increased risk of diabetes, fertility problems, developmental problems, lower testosterone levels in men, and more.
Parabens – Used as preservatives, parabens can be absorbed through the skin. They are considered hormone disruptors, which as mentioned above have been linked to a variety of adverse effects. Phthalates may play a role in breast cancer. Breast cancer most often occurs in the upper outer quadrant – just under where women rub deodorant on.
Triclosan – This chemical, which is used in everything from toys to toothpaste, may disrupt normal thyroid function, alter hormones, and more.
Fragrance- Thanks to a loophole, companies can hide all sorts of chemicals under the label “fragrance” without disclosing them. Many of these ingredients are phthalates, but others are chemicals that can cause allergic responses or irritation. Ironically, even “‘unscented’ products may contain masking fragrances, which are chemicals used to cover up the odor of other chemicals.
Nasty, huh? All the more reason to make the switch.
