It has become fairly common for us to squint into the fine copy on the back of products before we purchase them today – especially ones we put in and on our bodies. So, it’s only natural that when it comes to our everyday deodorants used in sensitive areas like our pits, we need to pay attention. Especially since our trusty sticks will be in regular circulation with summer upon us. To that effect, we are going the extra mile and swapping our go-to antiperspirants for natural deodorants.
Antiperspirants, as the name suggests, prevent you from perspiring – they contain aluminium that clogs your sweat glands and stops you from sweating. Aluminium has got a bad rap in the beauty and grooming industry – studies have linked it to causing breast cancer in women, and men are co-opting in shunning this harmful ingredient in favour of natural deodorants.
