It all started on a clammy day in Cape Town when myself and a group of friends decided to take on Mother Mountain. After an incredibly successful and enriching hike to the top I pulled my trusty <em>Brand Name<\/em> spray, when one of my friends piped up, \u201cDon\u2019t you know that stuff will kill you.\u201d A little hyperbolic, I thought, but let\u2019s hear him out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest concern when it comes to conventional deodorant is the aluminium, and the aluminium is included as this is the active ingredient that stops perspiration, AKA an anti-perspirant. Non-toxic deodorants\u2019, on the other hand, have natural ingredients that combine to kill the bacteria that stops your sweat from smelling bad. So, although there might not be an undesirable odour, there is certainly still the opportunity to sweat. Which is not necessarily a win for many.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For some reason sweat can be embarrassing. Obviously it depends who you are, how conventional you are and how much you care, but a sweaty pit stain at the end of a handshake in a job interview is not the most prudent for most people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The key to making the switch effectively is patience. And maybe a little bit of research\u2026 and perhaps a sprinkling of trial and error. But essentially you have to go ahead and find a product that works for you, depending on your body&#8217;s requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m lucky \u2013 underarm hair has never really been a big issue for me, and once I was old enough I went and got what few hairs remained zapped off for the rest of time. For me, less hair equaled less sweat and therefore less odour. So the natural switch was a little easier to make. This isn\u2019t the case for everyone. I had a male friend who tried his hand in crystal deodorant rocks three times before finally committing to the path. The first time he dropped the crystal and it shattered into a million pieces (this is good to know &#8211; don\u2019t drop your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/body-beauty\/personal-care\/deodorants\/salt-of-the-earth-crystal-travel-deodorant-rock-50g\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">crystal<\/a>), and from there it was just a matter of adjusting to his newfound watery ways. I also realised that you should <a href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/body-beauty\/personal-care\/deodorants\/earthsap-tea-tree-lemon-roll-on\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">buy a product<\/a> that is manufactured and tested in the country you live in. European brands can\u2019t handle the African heat, I found this out the hard way on a hot hot day in December when I plunged the unsuspecting deodorant stick into my armpit and instantly turned into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?q=Jabba+the+Hutt.&amp;client=firefox-b-d&amp;source=lnms&amp;tbm=isch&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwiG7Y3HorT3AhVJUMAKHQaOA8kQ_AUoAXoECAIQAw&amp;biw=1440&amp;bih=713&amp;dpr=1#imgrc=_y1SxDGfPZyg6M\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jabba the Hutt<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">But why make the shift?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jokes aside, why should you make the switch? Although the link is not entirely conclusive, research done indicates that the use of aluminium in conventional deodorants has been linked to the development of Alzheimers and Breast Cancer (1). The former was concluded in two separate studies where Alzheimer patients were found to have higher than average amounts of aluminium in the brains. In the latter, research concluded that it is due to the proximity of the armpit to the breast, where it can travel into the blood through absorption and shaving nicks. As well as antiperspirant stopping the excretion of potentially cancerous substances from the body (1).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of the day \u2013 the choice is yours. Personally, I believe you can\u2019t go wrong with natural. Take your time, make the switch, and maybe just pack a few extra tissues in your back pocket for a potential alfresco moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">WHAT CONVERTED CUSTOMERS HAVE TO SAY:\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/salt-of-the-earth-brand\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Salt of the Earth<\/strong><\/a><strong> Natural Deodorant &#8211; Unscented<\/strong>. <em>5 STARS<\/em> \u201cAMAZING\u2026 You could sweat a brick with this deodorant and no one will know.
