This is an All Natural DEODORANT not an ANTIPERSPIRANT. You will still perspire a little, as you SHOULD.
Antiperspirants (chemicals/store brand ) vs. Natural deodorants
This Natural deodorant will neutralize the bacteria in your sweat and help with the bad smell while absorbing excess wetness. But, beware. You will still sweat. Why? When you initially make the switch you’re going to sweat more than you’re used to because your body is detoxifying itself. Now that your pores are “free”, they’re going to take all those years of being plugged up and rejoice by releasing. That’s why when switching to natural deodorant people blame it for “not working”, when it’s REALLY your body. It will be TEMPORARY…your body needs to regulate and learn to sweat naturally. It may take up to 30 days or less, depending on your body. If you feel like you can’t go an entire day, carry some with you and reapply on-the-go. (I personally didn’t have any issues with switching over, not with smell and the sweating did not bother me at all) If you do perspire, that is natural and you are supposed to. If you have a little smell, that’s also normal when switching over . It will not last long.
Antiperspirants (chemicals/store brand) which minimize perspiration by blocking sweat ducts, prevent the armpit area from “purging toxins,” which could build up in “the lymph now below the arms” and cause cell mutations and ultimately breast cancer.
Antiperspirants contain aluminum, which blocks your pores from, well, sweating, even though sweating is one of the main ways your body releases toxins from your system. And while your pits may be dry, the aluminum is also the culprit for those pesky yellow shirt stains. Say what!? Yup. When your sweat reacts to the aluminum it results in embarrassing yellowing. Now that’s crazy!
Parabens
Parabens are used as a preservative to prolong the shelf life of personal hygiene and cosmetic items, but it can also absorb into your skin.
Phthalates
Did you know? Phthalates found in your deodorant are also used to make plastic flexible and harder to break. It can be found in vinyl flooring, garden hoses, medical tubing and car parts. WHOA! Phthalates effect human health, some studies have shown its effects in the reproductive system of lab animals. And, women tend to have more of it in their blood and urine due to using more products containing phthalates (cosmetics, nail polish, hair spray, etc.).
