If you are switching to healthier products deodorant is one such body care product you would be wise to switch. Most store bought deodorants are full of many ingredients you may wish you steer clear of such as aluminum. Many deodorants or anti-perspirants are alcohol based. Some contain triclosan, fragrances and sometimes perfume grade essential oils. Aluminum is an allergy for many and can commonly cause dermatitis, a localized skin reaction. Aluminum can become toxic in people with renal impairment. Younger children are at higher risk for aluminum over exposure.
Aluminum Is Everywhere
Some other sources of aluminum may include baby wipes, skin creams, suntan lotions, buffered aspirin, antacids, toothpastes, some vaccines, baking powder, cake mixes, self rising flour, grains, and processed cheese. Don’t forget about aluminum cans and foil. In the case of antiperspirants this may prevent the body from excreting sweat. Sweating is a natural body process. Not allowing your body to sweat as God designed, can cause toxic build up that could lead to greater issues.
