Choosing Natural: Antiperspirants vs. Deodorants?
Have you ever found yourself standing in the supermarket aisle, faced with a myriad of aerosols and roll-ons, pondering the difference between antiperspirant and deodorant? If so, you're not alone. Perhaps you're here now, contemplating this very question and considering a leap into the world of natural deodorants.
Let's delve into the nuances of antiperspirants versus deodorants and explore why making the switch to our natural deodorant might just be the best decision for you!
What sets antiperspirants and deodorants apart?
Antiperspirants primarily aim to halt sweating, while deodorants allow natural perspiration while combating odour.
Key to antiperspirants are Aluminium Salts, which work to block sweat glands, halting the production of sweat. However, blocked pores aren't exactly beneficial, are they?
It's important to note that sweating is a vital bodily function for regulating temperature, and the sweat itself doesn't cause odour. Rather, the bacteria living in your underarms thrive on sweat, producing body odour as a byproduct. Our natural deodorant neutralises this byproduct, effectively curbing body odour.
Why steer clear of antiperspirants?
Supermarket antiperspirants frequently utilise aluminium compounds as a cost-effective means to alter the body's natural perspiration process. However, scientific studies have hinted at potential health risks associated with prolonged aluminium exposure, including an elevated breast cancer risk.
In contrast, deodorants, designed to combat odour rather than block sweat, steer clear of such harmful chemicals. Pit Putty deodorant stands proudly as a 100% natural, aluminium-free solution, ensuring a chemical-free, yet highly effective, means of staying fresh throughout the day.
What to expect when transitioning from antiperspirant to deodorant?
If you're transitioning from an antiperspirant to an aluminium-free deodorant, you may notice a slight increase in sweating during light exercise. However, remember that sweat itself is odorless. Rest assured, this adjustment period will normalise quickly.
Concerned about underarm dampness? Fear not. Our Pit Putty deodorant harnesses the moisture-absorbing prowess of Arrowroot powder, ensuring many remain comfortably dry all day long.
