Deodorants have become such a big part of everybody’s life that nobody really stops and thinks about what are these deodorants made of. On top of that, there are constant advertisements everywhere that associate the use of deodorant with freshness and pleasant smells. While most deodorants available in the market work, it’s important for you to understand how these deodorants work.
Traditional deodorants contain a lot of aluminium salts as aluminium is what stops you from sweating. It is an antiperspirant that blocks your sweat glands.
In addition to aluminium, traditional deodorants also contain antimicrobial agents such as triclosan and alcohol that mask the natural odour produced by the body. However, the main goal of traditional deodorants is to stop the production of sweat.
Natural deodorants work in a different manner. They don’t contain aluminium but alternative ingredients such as glycerine to absorb moisture. Other natural ingredients are used to mask the bad odour produced by the body.
There is a lot of misinformation floating around regarding the effectiveness of natural deodorants and it is completely fine if you want to know whether these products work.
The simple answer is, yes. Natural deodorants work.
However, these products are not designed to prevent you from sweating. Sweating is a completely natural process. Natural deodorants do not contain ingredients such as aluminium which prevent you from sweating. You will still sweat when you start using a natural deodorant.
Natural deodorants contain ingredients that are good at absorbing moisture which means they will still keep you dry. Natural Deodorant: How to Choose The Best Organic Deodorant Also, natural deodorants typically don’t last as long as traditional deodorants. Some are effective for 4 to 8 hours whereas others work for 8 to 10 hours and then you’ll need to reapply.
It’s important for you to understand that once you stop using traditional deodorant and start using a natural one, you may smell worse for a few days to a few weeks as it takes time for your pores to open up and start sweating again. However, once this period is over, the natural deodorant will keep you dry and smelling fresh.
1). Keep sweating — One of the biggest benefits of using a natural product is that it does not interfere with any of the natural functions of your body. Sweating is completely natural and a natural deodorant does not interfere with this process.
Sweating is a natural way to get rid of toxins and if you stop your body from sweating, the body has to find another way to get rid of those toxins.
2). Keep the pores open — Natural deodorants do not contain any kind of aluminium salt which means your pores remain open. There has been massive speculation concerning the use of aluminium salts and some diseases though there is no conclusive evidence establishing a relationship between the use of aluminium and diseases such as Alzheimer’s or brain degeneration. However, when you have alternatives available, there is no reason you should continue using products with aluminium.
3). Better for sensitive skin — Natural deodorants contain several safe ingredients that are great for people with sensitive skin. In many cases, you will find natural deodorants are made from products such as coconut oil, aloe vera, beeswax, vitamin E, shea butter or similar ingredients.
4). You smell good — Since natural deodorants do not block your pores, you will still sweat but these deodorants contain a variety of ingredients that mask any bad odour. It is going to take some time for your body to get used to a natural deodorant but once the transition period is over, the natural deodorant will make us smell as fresh as an aluminium-based deodorant.
5). Environmentally friendly — One of the most common ingredients used in traditional deodorants is triclosan as it has antibacterial properties. It simply means that this ingredient is capable of killing bacteria that are responsible for producing bad odours.
The problem is that triclosan is also associated with contamination of oceans and waterways due to it being toxic to particular types of algae. In short, it has a huge negative effect on the aquatic ecosystem. With natural deodorants, you don’t need to worry about any negative effects on the environment.
6). Skin conditioning — With a natural deodorant, you also get to condition your skin with natural ingredients. In short, you are less likely to develop allergic skin rashes or contact dermatitis when you start using a natural deodorant.
7). Real effective — Natural deodorants take some time to start working as your body has a unique pH balance but once your body adapts to this new product, it is going to be as effective without any of the associated complications.

As discussed in the beginning, there are a lot of myths surrounding the effectiveness of natural deodorants. Since traditional deodorants and antiperspirants contain aluminium salts, your armpits do not sweat and that is widely considered a sign of effectiveness but you need to understand that the aluminium salts block the natural process of sweating.
