As we move further into the 21st century, more and more people are becoming aware of the dangers posed by toxic chemicals found in everyday products. From our food to our cosmetics, it’s becoming increasingly clear that many of these commonly used items contain substances which can be harmful to both us and the environment. One such product is deodorant – an item almost all of us use every day without thinking twice about what’s inside it. But with so much evidence now pointing towards natural alternatives being far healthier for us and the planet, could 2023 be the year you switch to an all-natural deodorant? In this post, we take a look at why it could be time to make a change.
Conventional deodorants and antiperspirants contain a range of potentially harmful chemicals, including aluminum, parabens, triclosan, phthalates and propylene glycol. These substances can be absorbed into the skin which can lead to health issues such as hormone disruption and irritation of the skin. Some scientific studies have even linked them to more serious diseases, including breast cancer. Additionally, many conventional deodorants contain synthetic fragrances which produce toxic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can damage the ozone layer and contribute to global warming. Furthermore, many contain animal-derived ingredients making them unsuitable for vegans or those seeking cruelty-free products.
When you put chemicals on your skin, they can be absorbed into the body and lead to health issues. These chemicals can cause hormone disruption, irritation of the skin, and even increase risk for serious diseases. Therefore it is important to pay attention to what you are putting on your skin
Making the switch to an all natural deodorant is rather straightforward and easy. Natural deodorants are free of toxins, synthetic fragrances, preservatives, and potentially harmful chemicals
Conventional deodorants have been linked to a range of health issues, including hormone disruption and skin irritation. However, the effects of these potentially dangerous chemicals may be particularly concerning for women who are going through menopause. During this transition period, women’s hormones can become imbalanced and skin more sensitive, making them more susceptible to the negative impacts of toxins in conventional deodorants.
Studies have shown that certain ingredients found in conventional deodorants can act as endocrine disruptors, which are known to interfere with hormone secretion and regulation in the body. These ingredients include aluminum, parabens, phthalates and propylene glycol – all of which can be absorbed into the skin. Aluminum has been linked to an increased risk of breast cancer and Alzheimer’s disease; parabens can mimic estrogen; phthalates can interfere with reproductive hormones; and propylene glycol is a skin irritant.
These chemicals have been linked to various cancers as well as fertility issues in women during menopause. Menopausal women are especially at risk because they often have an altered hormonal balance due to their age-related hormonal changes. This makes them even more vulnerable to the health consequences associated with using conventional deodorants containing toxins or chemicals that can disrupt hormones or irritate the skin.
Making a switch to a natural alternative could help reduce your risk for serious diseases such as breast cancer or Alzheimer’s – now more than ever it is important for menopausal women to be aware of what they’re putting on their bodies every day. Natural deodorants are free from toxins, synthetic fragrances, preservatives and potentially harmful chemicals and often contain plant-based ingredients such as essential oils which not only act as natural odor inhibitors but also provide therapeutic benefits such as aiding relaxation or boosting moods during menopause. Furthermore, many natural deodorants are vegan and vegetarian friendly so you don’t have to compromise on your ethical values when switching products!
The time has come for us all – especially menopausal women – to start being mindful about what we put on our bodies and switch to an all-natural alternative when it comes to our daily hygiene routine!
We understand that not only is it important to feel fresh throughout the day, but also that you want to be assured that what you’re putting on your skin is free from toxins and potentially harmful chemicals. That’s why we use only all-natural and safe ingredients in our deodorants…ingredients that you could literally eat!
When it comes to our health, why put off making necessary changes for another year? We know that many of the chemicals and toxins found in conventional deodorants can be detrimental to our health, both short-term and long-term. Switching to an all-natural alternative now can help reduce your risk for serious diseases and have you living a healthier lifestyle. It’s time to make the switch!
