Hey there Go For Zero legends!
Are you thinking about making the switch to natural deodorants but feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the options? You're not alone! I often advice swapping your deodorant to be one of the first swaps to make when when starting your toxin-free and zero waste journey, and finding the right natural deodorant can be a game-changer for your health and the planet. In this ultimate guide, we'll break down the world of natural deodorants and help you find the perfect fit for your skin type.
Did you know that sweat does not smell? True story! It is the bacteria under your arm pits that come into contact with sweat that give you BO. No bacteria means no sweat and guess what? Natural deodorants work by reducing this odour-causing bacteria. There we go!
First things first, let's talk about why you should consider ditching your conventional antiperspirant. While sweating might seem like a nuisance, it's actually a healthy and necessary function that helps detoxify and keep your body balanced. Antiperspirants work by blocking your sweat glands with aluminium salts, which can lead to a build-up of toxins and even make body odour worse in the long run. Aluminium in antiperspirants has been linked to health concerns, making natural deodorants a safer choice.
Natural deodorants, on the other hand, work by neutralising odour-causing bacteria without interfering with your body's natural sweating process. They allow your skin to breathe and detoxify while keeping you smelling fresh.
If you have tweens or teens in your household, you might be wondering if natural deodorants are safe for their developing bodies. The answer is a resounding yes! Natural deodorants are a great choice for kids, tweens, and teens because they allow their bodies to function normally without the added risk of aluminium and other harmful chemicals found in conventional antiperspirants.
When it comes to natural deodorants, there are two main types of odour-fighting ingredients: magnesium and bi-carbonate. Both magnesium and bi-carb work by adjusting the pH of your skin to create an environment where odour-causing bacteria can't thrive, thus reducing body odour.
At Go For Zero, we've tested and curated a range of the best Aussie natural deodorants to suit every skin type. Here's a quick guide to help you find your perfect match:
