Description
This extra strength natural bar is formulated to keep the ph of your pits optimal to ward off odor causing bacteria, and it has the fresh scent of herbal essential oils that also keep bacteria at bay. The addition of arrowroot powder helps keep you feeling dry, but 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, and will help absorb some of the moisture. It's been tested and proven to work even on the sweatiest teenage athletes.
This goes hand in hand with my deep cleansing, deodorizing Activated Charcoal Luffa Soap.
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 to my Herbal Deodorant.

Testimonial from a customer-
"This is the only natural deodorant I've found that actually WORKS. I used the charcoal face mask as an armpit detox when I made the switch from conventional deodorant so I didn't have to deal with any irritation."
