Wanna say "buh-bye" to B.O.?
The Bite
Then raise your arm and roll or spray on some eco-deodorant. It'll mask
not-so-sweet scents without potentially harmful chems, so you can wave
farewell to wellness worries too.
The Benefits
- Saying sayonara to smells.
Although they won't do much for wetness, natural deodorants can
neutralize smells and provide antiseptic action against bacteria.
- Bidding adieu to aluminum.
The jury's still out, but aluminum (the active ingredient in many
deodorants) has been linked to cancer and Alzheimer's, so opt for
natural alternatives for peace of mind.
- Parting ways with other noxious chems. Pick options sans parabens (linked to cancer), propylene glycol (a neurotoxin), talc (which sometimes contains asbestos), and triclosan (a skin irritant).
- A big "what's up" to a cleaner planet. Fewer hazardous chems in your deodorant mean fewer will end up in the waste stream.

***I personally have been using
Tom's of Maine deodorant for 15 years. I love the Honeysuckle Rose one and my husband likes Woodspice. Tom's of Maine can be found in health food stores and in most big chain food and drug stores. The company has been around for a long time and are pretty well known at this point. They make the best selling natural toothpaste too. This can also be found at most chain food stores as well. I have also been using this for so long now that the taste of conventional brands are so sweet and I can't stand them. They also make children's toothpastes which are wonderful! They have a fluoride free version for the little ones who can't quite spit yet and a fluoride version. Both come in Strawberry flavor. These are aweome alternatives to giving your children sacharine filled toothpaste.
