""I think natural deodorants are the worst things you can buy. I actually see an allergy from a natural deodorant almost every other day [in my office].""
""Typically, they're made from natural substances, but 'natural' is not a thing. Let's make that very clear - because poison ivy is 'natural,' but you don't want to rub that [on yourself].""
""Baking soda, which is known for its odor-absorbing properties, is alkaline, so when it comes in contact with our skin, which is more acidic, it can upset our natural pH balance and cause a reaction.""
""While some people may feel better about not using products that contain aluminum due to worries that it may cause breast cancer or Alzheimer's, there is no compelling evidence linking the metal to either of these diseases.""
In 2023, Americans spent $6.6 billion on deodorants, with many opting for natural options. However, natural deodorants can lead to allergies and skin irritation. Ingredients like baking soda and essential oils may disrupt skin pH and cause reactions. The term 'natural' lacks a regulatory definition, leading to potential misunderstandings about safety. Concerns over aluminum in conventional deodorants are unfounded, as no evidence links it to serious health issues like breast cancer or Alzheimer's disease.
