Schmidt's

Natural Deodorant

$9.24

Although there is debate around whether aluminum in antiperspirant deodorant causes cancer, it's best not to take any chances. What is known is that aluminum can damage DNA and prevent DNA repair which are well-known mechanisms of carcinogenesis (the formation of cancer). Recent studies also show that women with breast cancer had higher amounts of aluminum in their breast tissue than those without breast cancer. 

On top of having aluminum, most conventional deodorants also contain fragrance, which is linked to allergies, asthma, and skin irritation. The label "fragrance" can actually be used to hide hundreds of other harmful chemicals under one little word. So clean swapping for Schmidt's Natural Deodorant is recommended!

This deodorant is rated as a 1 on the EWG's scale and is Leaping Bunny Certified. The Lilly of the Valley scent is fragrant, and its proceeds go towards the Jane Goodall Institute. Be forewarned, though, that when switching to a natural deodorant, your body may go through a detox period. But, I encourage you to stick it out for better health!
