25 Alternative Natural Deodorants

The rise of the natural health movement has inspired many consumers to take a hyper-critical look at the products they apply topically, resulting in many people making the switch from conventional odor prevention products to alternative natural deodorants. In their mission to avoid aluminum salts, synthetic ingredients, parabens and artificial scents that will ultimately end up in one's system, health-conscious consumers are exploring alternatives in the form of crystals, sprays, solid bars, creams, pastes, wipes and powders. Lymph Candy Deodorant addresses the fact that certain ingredients in underarm antiperspirants or deodorants may be related to cancer by making its formula from just six simple ingredients.

Within the natural deodorant category, a number of dual-purpose products are emerging, introducing underarm treatments that also function as body powders, insect repellants and personal fragrances.

To help consumers better make the transition to using a natural deodorant and minimize detoxification symptoms, Meow Meow Tweet created an 'Underarm Primer,' Lavanila launched the 'Healthy Underarm Detox Mask' and Kaia Naturals assembled the 'Charcoal Underarm Detox Kit.'
