Are you Toxic? During our daily morning routines its only habit that we apply our deoterant. Take the time to look at the main active ingredient in the deoterant you are now using....I bet there is a good chance that the active ingredient is aluminum. Antiperspirant contains aluminum salts. Deodorants do not.  By shopping for the product, you've already seen that the majority of the products sold today have both attributes in their formulas.

 

  Antiperspirants containing aluminum, work to stop completely perspiration from occurring. Deodorants do not contain aluminum. Deodorants allow perspiration. They work to kill the bacteria that causes odor when we perspire. From a purely natural standpoint, it makes more sense for us to use deodorants, as it is clearly a more natural process to allow our bodies to sweat.
