Natural Deodorant
I’ve almost tried all the ‘natural deodorants’ out there! They all work wonderful in winter, but I could not find one working effectively in SUMMER! That is until I’ve tried this ‘home-made’ recipe. Wow, was I blown away by the effectiveness and ease of making it. We’ll soon be making it at Natural Nutrition, so you're welcome to send your orders in!

Why bother to go all natural with deodorant?
Most commercial deodorants and antiperspirants contain synthetic chemicals such as parabens and aluminium. We don’t only excrete toxins through our skin, but will also absorb all these synthetic chemicals we apply to our skin. Women tend to shave their armpits, increasing the likelihood of absorbing these chemicals through abrased skin. Although still controversial, evidence (and common sense) abounds regarding the harmful effects of aluminium and paraben exposure. From cancer to neurological disease (such as Alzheimer’s) have been linked to aluminium and parabens. For optimum health, we must limit the influx of harmful toxins and chemicals into our body.
