The author shares a personal experience of shifting from traditional antiperspirants to natural deodorants after encountering disinformation about aluminum. Despite initial fears, the article clarifies that aluminum in antiperspirants is safe and that the term 'natural' is not FDA-regulated, often indicating an aluminum-free product. While natural deodorants absorb odor, they do not prevent sweat, unlike antiperspirants, which actively block sweating. The choice between the two ultimately depends on personal preference for sweating versus staying completely dry.
I made the switch from my trusty antiperspirant to 'natural' deodorant... Turns out, aluminum in antiperspirant isn't really harmful.
'Natural' means 'aluminum-free.' Aluminum-free deodorant prevents odor, but it doesn't prevent you from sweating the way antiperspirant does.
Ultimately it comes down to whether you want to sweat a little or prevent it entirely.
Natural deodorants usually have some sort of absorption agent, plus ingredients to help you smell better.
