The Healthy Deodorant

I must confess, despite being a beauty editor, until recently, I had no idea that there was such a thing as “unhealthy” deodorant. Lavanila’s The Healthy Deodorant is a dermatologist-recommended, non-irritating, allergy-tested formula does not contain aluminum or mineral oils.
In case you didn’t know, aluminum compounds are found in MOST deodorants, and have been linked to Alzheimer’s disease and brain disorders, respiratory disorders, and possibly cancer.
So, yeah, the healthy kind is probably a good idea.
They accomplish this by using something called beta-glucan technology to fight odor while soothing, conditioning, and strengthening the skin.
I say, if it keeps me smelling nice, and doesn’t risk my life, I’m happy!
I swear, you learn something new every day.

Hi
Just read the article about most deodorants are unhealthy. So how come there are still on the market and that we were told not long ago that deodorant weren’t harmful… PLEASE, we need to know the truth.
I really enjoyed the article posted regarding harmful ingredients in deodorants. It was very informative, and I believe you are absolutely correct about the negative impact that harmful chemicals can have on our bodies. I have discovered several amazing reports to validate your position, and I think you would find the information fascinating. I would love to discuss this further with you. Please email me at your earliest convenience at tdeann24@gmail.com. One report in particular is very serious in nature and was documented on CNN. I’ll send you a link.
