The 7 Best Natural Deodorants To "Clean Up" Your Beauty Routine
When it comes to beauty buzzwords, no trend seems to be as sought out this year as clean beauty. With a global climate crisis, the rise of holistic care, and the exponentially expanding wellness market, more and more people are looking for ways to incorporate green and environmentally conscious beauty routines at home. One major boom in personal care products is the increasing interest and market options surrounding natural deodorants.
But what exactly is natural deodorant, and why is it suddenly so popular? Natural deodorants are aluminium-free and use substitute ingredients to neutralise bacteria and absorb moisture. The increasing interest around natural deodorants stems from several health reports implying negative long-term effects from continual use of aluminium-based antiperspirants. While scientific research confirming those beliefs is still in progress, some benefits of switching over to natural deodorants are: they can be better for sensitive skin, decrease or eliminate discolouration of clothing, and can even help to decrease the amount that you sweat overall.
