Non-toxic deodorant

Deodorant was the hardest non toxic product to adopt. It’s not as simple as just buying the product and using it. Your body needs time to detox from the toxic deodorant you had been using. And this process is not for the feint of heart. So here’s your warning you’re going to stink in the process of adjusting.

Any every body is different so this may take a few weeks to a few months. And during this detoxing time you’re going to stink, not just from sweating but also from the toxins that are leaving in that sweat. I spent weeks feeling like my pits were just dripping, I jumped between multiple different natural deodorants trying to find one that works because I didn’t understand the detoxing process my body was going through.

But detoxing is hard and it takes a while for your body to adjust. The chemicals build up in your body and alter your natural chemistry. Letting these toxins be sweated out is the best thing you can do. I also used a detoxifying mud mask on my pits. This helped immensely to remove the toxins faster. I found if I did it every few days the natural deodorant was more effective between masks.

I also learned during this process that my pits are very sensitive. One of the reasons I went through so many different deodorants was because they irritated my pits. I would get very uncomfortable rashes. Turns out these are caused by baking soda. Once I found a natural deodorant without baking soda I finally made progress towards happy pits.
