Every day, we apply deodorant to one of the most sensitive parts of our body – the underarms. But do you really know what’s inside your deodorant or antiperspirant? Why some ingredients may irritate your skin, and which ones are considered gentler and more skin-friendly?
In this article, we’ll walk you through common ingredients to be aware of – and introduce you to a natural alternative formulated for everyday comfort.
1. Aluminum salts
Used in antiperspirants to reduce perspiration by forming temporary plugs in the sweat ducts.
The consideration: Perspiration is a natural body function. Some people may prefer to avoid products that reduce sweating.
Tip: If your goal is to manage odor rather than reduce sweat, choose a deodorant without aluminum salts.
2. Parabens
Preservatives that extend shelf life.
The consideration: Some consumers prefer to avoid parabens due to ongoing discussions about their potential effects.
Tip: Look for deodorants preserved with alternatives such as vitamin E or plant-derived ingredients.
3. Synthetic fragrances & phthalates
These provide scent, but may include multiple fragrance components.
The consideration: Fragrance components are among the most frequent cosmetic allergens and may cause reactions in sensitive individuals.
Tip: If your skin is reactive, choose essential-oil-based fragrances or fragrance-free formulas.
