In addition, aluminum-free deodorants help maintain normal sweating, which is important enough for proper thermoregulation of the body.

The modern beauty industry offers a wide range of products for every taste. A list of the best brands and a rating of natural deodorants for women without aluminum salts and other hazardous ingredients will help you navigate which proposals should be considered first. Contrary to popular belief, modern natural remedies for sweat odor are not much more expensive than their counterparts, and their lifespan is often much more impressive. What should you consider before switching deodorants with aluminum and parabens to organic? Let's try to figure it out.

The main feature of natural deodorants is the absence in their composition of a number of substances that are used in popular chemicals. The thing is that modern antiperspirants - sprays, sticks, rollers - are no longer aimed at masking an unpleasant odor. They include substances that can completely block the work of the sweat glands for a certain period. It is impossible to do this without aluminum salts.

The following substances are considered the most dangerous:

• aluminum hydrochloride;
• aluminum chloride;
• aluminum zirconium.

The mass fraction of these substances is up to 20% of the total volume. Once on the skin, they clog the sweat glands, disrupting the natural course of biological processes, with a significant increase in concentration, they penetrate into the tissues, causing the development of tumor processes, endocrine disorders.

Natural deodorants contain micro doses of aluminum, because it uses compounds of the potassium alumina series - crystals of natural origin, also known as alum. They slightly reduce the activity of the sweat glands, thus avoiding the hassle of wet clothing under the armpits.

Paraben-free organic deodorants are another important argument in favor of choosing natural sweat protection. These cosmetic preservatives are increasingly accused of significantly increasing the risk of developing cancer. In their properties, parabens are similar to the natural sex hormones of a woman - estrogens, but they are much weaker and can negatively affect the hormonal background, provoking various disorders. Frequent contact of the skin of the armpits with parabens is called one of the factors affecting the development of breast cancer.

What should be in a natural deodorant? Potassium alum in crystalline or powder form, essential oils at safe concentrations, may be added soda to fight bacteria, clay.

Means are issued in the form of:

• thick paste, more like wax;
• sticks with a creamy viscous structure;
• rollers in which the crystal is spherical;
• aerosols on a crystal basis;
• powder (in the form of powder);
• solid crystalline minerals.

The most popular are natural deodorants. in the form of alunite crystals containing sodium, potassium and aluminum sulfate in safe dosages... With their help, you can normalize sweating and ensure that the glands work in a comfortable mode, even under the most intense loads.
