Deodorant , Antiperspirant, Aluminum, Breast Cancer

How to choose a deodorant?

There are chemicals found in most antiperspirants and deodorants.  These chemicals may increase our risk for Alzheimer's Disease or Breast Cancer.  The research is inconclusive.  However, we do know that the chemicals in deodorant are harmful to our health.  So, why put something on your skin daily that absorbs into the bloodstream that may have health consequences?

Tips for purchasing a deodorant:
  • Use deodorant (masks smells) instead of antiperspirant (prevents sweating). 
    • It is normal to sweat and clogging your pores with toxins is not normal.
  • Find aluminum-free deodorant.  
    • aluminum may lead to Alzheimer's Disease and/or Breast Cancer.  
  • Avoid phthalates.
    • which are plastics used to help the fragrance stay on your skin.  
    • These phthalates block endocrine function especially in the male fetus.
  • Avoid parabens.
    • which are used as preservatives in these products, could be linked to breast cancer.
Here is a list of deodorants with a very low toxicity score.  These deodorants are rated by the Environmental Working Group. To see more deodorants or the scale used to rate these deodorants, go to  http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com/
