Even though summer is just about ready to call it quits, finding the perfect deodorant is a challenge we face all year long. And when in the search for the perfect formula, either our trusty tube fades too fast or the constant threat of toxic chemicals loom over our beauty-obsessed heads. So, to finally find that life-saving product, we’re rounding up our favorite non-toxic formulas (plus expert tips!) to keep you going odor-free throughout your workday.
How To Find The Best Antiperspirants And Deodorants To Prevent Sweat, Odor And Wetness
The link of aluminum found in most deodorants to harming our health may still be inconclusive. But, according to the American Cancer Society, parabens and other estrogen-altering ingredients found in our favorite deodorants are often absorbed through the skin. So, if you find yourself wanting to skip out on the unpronounceable ingredients and try more healthier alternatives, Dr. Gervaise Gerstner offers a helpful tip on which ingredients to avoid.
“The link to hormone disruption and possible estrogen enhancing properties in deodorants is NOT definitive. But if one wants to be uber-cautious, why not try organic products? If one wants to avoid any questionable ingredients in their deodorants, be sure to find products without parabens and aluminum formations,” says Dr. Gerstner, a board certified cosmetic & medical dermatologist in New York City.
