@organic_tarzan: Your antiperspirant doesn’t stop odor. It stops you from sweating. That’s literally how it works — aluminum salts dissolve into your pores and form a plug that corks your sweat glands shut. Sweating is how your body cools down and pushes waste out, and you’re sealing it off every morning, right on top of your lymph nodes. Then check the label for “fragrance.” That one word is a legal loophole. Companies can hide dozens of undisclosed chemicals under it — including phthalates, which are documented hormone disruptors. They never have to tell you which ones. And the ingredient that makes your stick glide on smooth? Propylene glycol. Same stuff used in antifreeze. Here’s the part they don’t advertise: sweat doesn’t smell. Bacteria feeding on your sweat is what smells. A real natural deodorant handles the bacteria without shutting your body down. Read your label. The good stuff kills the bacteria without plugging your glands — look for magnesium hydroxide and zinc oxide on the ingredients. Not aluminum. Not baking soda. Lock in. 🐆
