Salt of the Earth Natural Deodorant 90g

Product Information

However, these particular salts only have a deodorising effect, and sit on the skin, whereas aluminium chlorohydrate and aluminium zirconium are antiperspirant ingredients that plug pores to prevent sweating. This unisex Unscented Natural Deodorant Spray by Salt of the Earth offers long-lasting, effective protection from body odour and is made from 100% natural ingredients. However, Cancer Research UK says there is 'no good evidence' to suggest a link between aluminium in antiperspirants and cancer. Sure, after a 2 hour session I was definitely ready for a shower, but again I was pleasantly surprised to find that I didn’t have bad odour. I was pleasantly surprised that it took just two days of using the crystal deodorant for me to get used to the new formula.

The rise in popularity of eco deodorants has several catalysts, but for some it's been prompted by concerns about ingredients in conventional products, particularly aluminium. LOOKING to switch to a natural deodorant? Read on for our Salt of the Earth Classic Crystal Deodorant review.Also, the lid is made out of regular plastic - the company says that when it tried to design a sugarcane lid, it crumbled.

For centuries, natural mineral salts have been used to prevent body odour. One of these natural salts, potassium alum, is the main active ingredient in Salt of the Earth’s Unscented Natural Deodorant Spray. Potassium alum creates an invisible antibacterial layer on the skin’s surface that helps to control the growth of bacteria, preventing body odour. The result is effective, long-lasting protection that allows your skin to breathe. If you're choosing to avoid aluminium out of personal choice, bear in mind that some natural deodorants that use 'natural mineral salts' still technically contain it. Bottom line? We were impressed with this crystal deodorant and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an effective and completely natural formula.

So I’ve started training in pre-season with a new football team and I was intrigued to see if the I could get through the midday training session without showering and applying the crystal deodorant in the morning (sorry lads).

For that reason, Salt of The Earth's range of roll-on deodorants are definitely worth a look if you'd rather save the faff of wetting and drying your deodorant each time. You might still want the reassurance of an antiperspirant for important events or busy days - so don't feel you have to commit to one or the other for good. Unlike a regular roll-on deodorant, a crystal deodorant is totally dry, so as per the instructions, the best thing to do is either apply the deodorant straight after a shower or run the crystal under the tap if you’ve already dried off.But it's worth knowing that this is not necessary for letting out toxins, as some brands claim. Your body already has sophisticated detoxing processes in the form of your liver and kidneys. Sweating is more about effective temperature regulation than detoxing. There are also fears that aluminium found in everyday items such as aluminium cans, antacids and antiperspirants could cause Alzheimer's. But the Alzheimer's Society says: 'No convincing relationship between amount of exposure or aluminium in the body and the development of Alzheimer's disease has been established.'

This unisex Crystal Classic Natural Deodorant by Salt of the Earth has been keeping customers odour-free for over 20 years. Hard-working, and comprising nothing but pure mineral salt, it remains a modern skin care classic. Perfect for men, women and children, this unscented natural deodorant won't suffocate your pores, but instead sits on the surface of your skin, helping to control the growth of odour-causing bacteria. There may be some odour at first (full disclosure: you may smell 'funkier' than usual) but after a few weeks, your body settles down and you'll be able to feel the benefits of your new deodorant. Salt of the Earth's range has evolved into sprays, roll-ons, balms and more since it first launched the Classic Crystal – so it's no surprise that our first impressions were that this is a super no-frills product. A key fear is around aluminium in deodorants potentially causing cancer. The theory is that aluminium compounds such as aluminium chlorohydrate or aluminium zirconium, used to stop sweating, can be absorbed through the underarms and cause breast cancer. Helps moisturise the skin: Formulated with natural moisturising factor, this deodorant helps moisturise your skin while keeping you fresh and odour-free.Be cautious with products containing bicarbonate of soda (also known as sodium bicarbonate or baking powder) or essential oils if you have sensitive skin or if you tend to shave your underarm hair, as it might cause irritation. But personally I was more motivated by the environmental impacts of using typical spray and roll-on deodorants. My aim was to find a environmentally-friendly deodorant that used natural ingredients. Most importantly, it had to work!
