Deodorant we all have in our cabinets and (sports) bags. Often we take deodorants everywhere, because we don’t want to stink all day. But have you ever stopped to think about what kind and which type of deo you use and what the effects are? This can have a harmful effect on your underarms and sweat glands. That’s why natural deodorants are a new trend - hot and happening. MBut how and what kind of deo can you use without causing damage? In this blog, you’ll get all the facts about deodorant and how you can approach it differently!
Summer is here, the weather is beautiful, it’s hot… and that means sweating. But a good workout can also cause this. Sweating can feel great, it’s even good for you! This natural mechanism exists so your body temperature cools down. But we prefer to leave the unpleasant odors behind. And that’s where deodorant comes in. But what types of deodorants are there actually?
Anti-transpirant - This is the most common deodorant. This deodorant masks the odors of sweating. Anti-transpirant deodorant eliminates the bacteria released with sweat.
Anti-perspirant - This deodorant actually stops sweating. It is mainly used to reduce sweat. It does this by blocking the openings of the sweat glands.
Different types of deodorant
Below are a few more types of deodorant:
Now that you know the different types of deodorant, we still don't know what is best for our underarms. Read on quickly and discover what natural deodorant is.
Our bathroom cabinets and beauty cases seem to be getting greener. Yet there is still a lot of resistance to ‘natural deodorant’. They are said to be not efficient enough. Still, many brands promise a long-lasting fresh feeling! But what is a natural deodorant? Deodorants can also contain non-natural ingredients. Think of triclosan, phthalates, alcohol, synthetic perfumes, or propellants. Usually, when we say ‘natural’, we mean ingredients that are plant-based. In this case, a deodorant that is 100% natural! But is there also a difference between natural and aluminum-free deodorant?
Yes, definitely! Deodorants generally work to mask odors, but not to stop sweating. They contain dozens of substances, each with a specific function. Aluminum is one of these. This ingredient causes the pores in the armpit to close. This disrupts the natural sweating process. More research is needed to determine if aluminum-free deodorants are harmful to people. This is the difference with a natural deodorant:
Aluminum deodorants contain aluminum salts, which means there is a higher chance of skin irritation, and your clothing can discolor or get damaged. Natural deodorant is becoming increasingly popular. People usually choose this deodorant for health reasons or environmental awareness. Natural deodorants also come in various forms and packaging, so you don’t necessarily have to use a spray or roller, but can use a cream! Additionally, the packaging of natural deodorants is environmentally friendly.
Now that we know the difference between aluminum-free and natural deodorants, it is also interesting to discuss the pros and cons of natural deodorant. It can be quite a challenge to simply switch from chemical deodorants, where sweat might start to smell. And that’s understandable; as humans, we often choose the ‘familiar’ path. But is this also the safest? Changing your deodorant can have a big impact on your body. And we still have to live with that for our whole lives! Additionally, natural deodorants are more environmentally friendly and can be reused, also called ‘refill’. This prevents wasting plastic packaging. Friendly for the planet and good for your body!
If your armpits are used to deodorants with aluminum, you will notice that the sweat glands first need to detox from these ingredients. The sweat glands need to expel the ‘junk’ first, and this can be accompanied by some odor. Unfortunately! But don’t worry, it’s all for a good cause! In the first two weeks after stopping the deodorant you use, you may notice sweat odors. It takes some perseverance, but after that, sweat production will balance out more. In the long term, you will also have less ‘moist’ armpits. That’s what we want, right? In the meantime, you can take refreshing wipes and reapply your natural deodorant stick. Yes!
