Panico makes natural deodorant under the name Sencilla in her Litchfield Park home. Â
âThe reason I started Sencilla is because my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer when she was 34 and I was 12,â Panico said of her mother, Marilyn Gordon. âShe used to run a lot of marathons. She would run up and down Squaw Peak twice in a day. She was very athletic. She was always using a lot of deodorant.Â
âWhen she found the lump in her armpit, we thought it was from the toxic deodorant she was using all these years.â
Gordon died of bone cancer at age 38. Since then, Panico, now 48, has used natural deodorant. At first, she couldnât find the right one.Â
