Conventional deodorants and anti-perspirants contain a variety of chemicals and additives. It takes something un-natural to block the body’s natural ability to sweat, and the chemical list in some deodorants is scary: * Aluminum- some evidence links aluminum to cancer and Alzheimer’s Disease * Phthalates- Endocrine disruptors often also found in plastic that can cause hormone imbalance and even infertility (especially in med) * Propylene glycol- common name: antifreeze. It is a hotly debated additive in personal care products but the Environmental Working Group reports that it carries a moderate risk of immunotoxicity and allergies. * Formaldehyde- a known carcinogen… guess it kills the germs though. * Parabens- Another hormone disruptor and parabens have been found in biopsied tissue with breast cancer * Antibacterial Substances- I talked about these before but they are endocrine disruptors and can negatively affect the immune system #happyhormones #makeyourown
