Happy Easter everyone!! I hope you're all enjoying the long weekend :) As you might know, Earth Day is on Tuesday, April 22nd, and today I have a great natural product to share with you. About 2 years ago I made the switch over to aluminum free deodorants, and I think that this was one of the best decisions that I've ever made! Deodorant is a product that almost all of us apply at least once a day, and aluminum does have some serious possible links to cancer. I had to ask myself what's more important - smelling nice, or being healthy? Obviously, the second answer won over, and I made the switch to more healthy deodorants. To my surprise, I found that natural deodorants can still work incredibly well! I've been trying out Kiss My Face's Liquid Rock Roll-On Fragrance Free* ($5.99 CAD/88 mL), and I've been very impressed!
This formula from Kiss My Face contains no aluminum chlorohydrate (the bad stuff in antiperspirants), and it's paraben free, vegan, and cruelty free. This deodorant is a roll-on, but the brand also makes solid stick version, which I'm wanting to try out. This formula is a bit wet, but it dries down in about 30 seconds. The one I have is fragrance free, which just works to neutralize and hide any odour that you may have. Since this isn't an antiperspirant, this won't stop you from sweating. However, I do want to note that I've found that I actually sweat a lot less since I made the switch to aluminum free products! Maybe our bodies get used to anti-antiperspirants, and try to overproduce sweat when we're using them. I'm not a scientist, so I don't have any real answers, but that's what I've found from my own personal experience. Well anyways, this formula from Kiss My Face neutralizes odours all day long, and keeps me feeling fresh!
I highly recommend that everyone make the switch over to aluminum free deodorant. If you wanted to see a post about my favourite natural deodorants, please let me know in a comment, I'd be happy to do so! :) Have you tried this or any other aluminum free deodorant? Celebrate this Earth Day by picking up a bottle and doing something good for your body!
i definitely want a natural deodorant post! i have tried but it hasn't worked for me so far, i have 2 on the go at the moment i try out again occasionally... and one with aluminum i tend to use daily. one of the natural ones seems to make me pretty itchy and the other one seems to do nothing. so yeah. :/ would love to hear suggestions! I have 2 unnatural ones to finish up again but afterwards i would be willing to switch again.
ReplyDeleteI found that it took a month for my body to adjust to natural formulas, it's almost like you have to let your body purge... I'll definitely write a post about my favourites! :)
DeleteI grabbed one from LoveFresh at the One of a Kind Show. It's Lavender and Tea Tree and the smell is amazing! They use arrowroot (I believe) to absorb moisture.I'm not sure how I feel about it yet since my armpits feel a bit sticky during the day while using it, maybe I need to give my body time to adjust!
ReplyDeleteYa give yourself about a month to adjust! I've never heard of that brand, but I like the idea of arrowroot :)
Deleteoooo i need to try this out! i'd love to read ore about your fav natural deodorants. been wanting to switch and the one i'm testing is sort of so-so
ReplyDeleteI'll definitely share my favourites! :)
DeleteI'm always hunting for great new aluminum-free deodorants. I'll have to try this one out once I finish the one from Nourish Organics I've been using.

Definitely give this one a go! I hope you like it :)
DeleteI would love to see a post on your favorites! :)
ReplyDeleteI'll definitely put one together! :)
DeleteI might just have to give this brand a try! :-)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely do, they have a lot of nice products! :)
DeleteI made the switch to natural deodorants around your age as well and haven't looked back! I also find that I sweat less and that my body has somehow adapted to all-natural deodorants. I've also been using Crawford Street Skincare's Lemon Cream Deodorant which is really lovely too. I think I have a scheduled post for it for Earth Day!
ReplyDeleteIt's crazy, now I'm really thinking that traditional antiperspirants encourage you to sweat more...
DeleteI'll have to check out your review, I love anything lemon scented! :)
