Detoxifying Nighttime Deodorants

While making the switch from using antiperspirants or aluminum-based deodorants to free-from deodorants that are cleanly formulated, some consumers experience a detoxification process that changes the bacterial cultures under the arms—unfortunately, as a result, many people simply write off natural deodorants and fail to realize that it can take a while for the body to fully detox from aluminum.

Nala is a Canadian brand that makes cruelty-free deodorant products that are free from not just aluminum but also parabens, phthalates, petroleum and carcinogens. According to the brand, "Applying at night allows you to expedite this process by detoxing while you sleep."

Nana's Detox deodorant is meant to help ease the transition to using a natural or free-from deodorant, and the brand is clear about the fact that people may experience more sweat and odors during this temporary phase.
