The article explores the rise of natural deodorants, which differ from traditional options by focusing on neutralizing odor-causing bacteria rather than preventing sweat. It discusses the lack of FDA regulation for the term 'natural' in deodorants, prompting consumers to carefully read ingredient labels. The piece highlights concerns over synthetic ingredients like aluminum, related to potential health risks, though regulatory bodies have found no connections. The author shares insights gained from testing various brands to determine which deodorants are genuinely effective.
"Many deodorants contain synthetic chemicals, including antiperspirant agents such as aluminum, to prevent sweating. Natural deodorants rely on natural chemicals to neutralize odor instead."
"Importantly, the word 'natural' isn't regulated by the FDA when it comes to deodorants. This means that there's no standard for what can be marketed as such."
