Effective and safe pure deodorant ingredients
"More and more often, you hear in the news that there may be harmful substances in deodorant. We strongly believe in the power of natural ingredients when it comes to creating products that are good for both our bodies and the planet. In this article, we will take you on a journey of discovery through some of the most effective natural ingredients that we use in our deodorants."
Why there is no aluminum chlorohydrate in our deodorants
Aluminum chloride is an ingredient that constricts your sweat glands, preventing sweat from coming out. It disrupts your body's natural process. Natural alternatives to aluminum chloride do not block your body's natural function, but they do ensure that you do not have an unpleasant sweat odor. Switching to a natural deodorant can therefore also take some getting used to at first.
What is actually in our natural deodorant?
Sodium bicarbonate
"For the Happy Earth deodorant balms, we have chosen to work with Sodium Bicarbonate. Sodium Bicarbonate is a skin-friendly substance. And an ancient remedy that absorbs unpleasant odors. And makes the skin basic - less acidic."
Natural alum stone
Most of our other deodorants contain alum as the active ingredient. Alum stone is found as a natural deposit on rocks and looks like a crystal. Alum is soluble in water. By rubbing this over the skin, an invisible fine layer of alum adheres to the skin. Alum is antibacterial. It inhibits the growth of bacteria that cause unpleasant body odor, while at the same time allowing waste products to be expelled through perspiration and keeping your body at the right temperature.
