If you’ve ever looked at the back of your deodorant can and wondered what all those ingredients are, you’re not alone. One of the most debated is aluminium, and more people are making the switch to aluminium-free deodorant. This isn’t just a trend - it’s a wellness choice.
At Black Chicken Remedies, we’ve been formulating natural deodorants for over a decade. Let’s break down the concerns around aluminium, the benefits of switching to natural deodorant, and what to look for when choosing the right one for you.
What’s the Problem With Aluminium in Deodorant?
Most conventional deodorants are actually antiperspirants, and they work by using aluminium salts (such as aluminium chlorohydrate) to block your sweat glands. This physically prevents your body from sweating by clogging your pores.
While this may sound helpful, sweating is a natural and necessary function that helps regulate body temperature and eliminate toxins. Interfering with this process may affect your body’s natural detoxification pathways.
There have also been ongoing discussions around the potential health risks of long-term aluminium exposure. Some studies have investigated links to hormone disruption, breast cancer, and Alzheimer’s disease. Although findings are inconclusive, many choose to avoid aluminium as a precaution - especially in products applied daily near lymph nodes and breast tissue.
Benefits of Aluminium-Free, Natural Deodorant
Using a natural deodorant that’s aluminium-free supports your body rather than suppressing its natural processes. Here’s what makes it a better choice:
- Supports Natural Detox: Sweating is healthy. A natural deodorant allows your body to sweat while still keeping odour under control.
- Does Not Block Pores: Your skin can breathe freely, helping you avoid irritation and build-up.
- Suitable for Sensitive Skin: Natural ingredients reduce the risk of rashes and discomfort.
- Effective Odour Control: Botanicals and essential oils neutralise odour-causing bacteria without synthetic chemicals.
- Peace of Mind: You can feel confident about what you're putting on your skin every day.
What to Look For in a Natural, Aluminium-Free Deodorant
Not all aluminium-free deodorants are equal. To get the best results, here’s what to look for:
- 100% Natural Ingredients: Choose formulas made with ingredients you can recognise, such as coconut oil, shea butter, bicarb soda (or a gentle alternative), Tapioca, and essential oils.
- Proven Performance: The best natural deodorants control odour effectively. Axilla™ Natural Deodorant Range is a globally loved formula that neutralises odour without harmful additives.
- No Harmful Additives: Avoid synthetic fragrance, alcohol, parabens, and of course, aluminium.
- Soothing Ingredients: Look for skin-calming additions such as Borrage seed, Camellia oil, or Vitamin E.
- Sustainable Packaging: Choose deodorants in eco-conscious packaging that reduce waste.
