In the post,, wearing a natural deodorant was practically synonymous with being that guy. The one who always rocks a five-panel comic at an odd off-kilter angle and likes to mansplain books. Another example is a guy who wears tie-dye all the time and smells like weed all the time.
Those days are long gone. Natural deodorants are now in vogue. In case you were ever contemplating changing up your routine, now is the time. There is no natural deodorant out there that will stop you sweating like an antiperspirant does, but it will make you smell really good.
To begin with, the term "natural" is broad and ambiguous (as likely to refer to the ingredients in your morning smoothie as to the materials in your shirt when you accidentally spill it on). As a general rule, we would define it as a product free of harsh ingredients like alcohol and aluminum. Those in favor of natural skin care believe that products without baking soda are better for sensitive skin.
The aluminum in antiperspirants isn't actually harmful to you, but these days more and more men are choosing more natural products over traditional ones. Also, avoiding harmful ingredients as often as possible prevents the planet from further degrading. You might be surprised at the ease with which you can switch to a natural deodorant.
Changing from aluminum-based antiperspirants will cause a purging period, but you won't lose an iota of the cooling action or crisp scent you've grown accustomed to from the non-natural versions you already use on a regular basis. Take one small step for the environment and one giant step for your personal hygiene by checking out some of the best options below.
