Sweating comes with so many problems: discomfort, sweat stains, reeking... And to avoid all of the above we turn to deodorant (or at least I would hope so...), but we usually do so without thinking about the ingredients and possible repercussions they could have on our bodies. Most mainstream deodorants contain some very questionable chemicals i.e. propylene glycol, which if used everyday, can cause damage to your central nervous system, heart and liver. It is also shown to irritate skin, particularly sensitive skin.
Let's be clear, I'm not suggesting you go rogue and stop using deodorant! But there are Really Good chemical-free options for you to stay BO-less without potentially filling your body with harmful ingredients, not to mention filling our planet with harmful ingredients as well.
