Respiratory Issues: Chemicals like formaldehyde and benzene derivatives can exacerbate asthma, allergies, and other respiratory conditions.

Hormone Disruption: Phthalates and synthetic musks interfere with the endocrine system, potentially causing reproductive harm and developmental issues.

Skin Sensitization: Prolonged use of fragranced products can lead to irritation, rashes, or chronic dermatitis.

Children’s Vulnerability: Children are particularly susceptible to these health risks due to their developing systems and higher exposure relative to body size.

Choose Unscented Products: Opt for fragrance-free detergents, soaps, and cleaning products whenever possible.

Look for Naturally Scented Alternatives: Use products scented with pure essential oils rather than synthetic fragrances.

DIY Solutions: Make your own cleaning products using vinegar, baking soda, and essential oils for a safer, cost-effective alternative.

Ventilate Your Home: Regularly open windows to reduce indoor air pollution caused by fragranced products.

You’ll need:

Baking soda

Arrow root powder

Organic, unrefined coconut oil

Essential oils

 

Instructions:

1. Mix equal parts arrow root powder and baking soda together.

2. Add the coconut oil and your favorite essential oils, like grapefruit or tea tree, to the mixture. You can adjust the consistency by adding more coconut oil if needed.

3. Pour into a small glass jar, such as a pint-sized mason jar, and store at room temperature. Homemade deodorant will last up to two years in an airtight container.

4. Use a popsicle stick to get the deodorant out of the container and transfer to your finger. Make sure you use enough under your arms to keep you “sure” all day long. A pea-sized amount is usually good.

 

Note: when you initially make the switch, you may experience itching, red bumps, or increased sweat and odor. This is common. Don’t let it stop you! 

Drinking plenty of water and dry brushing are two good ways to assist your body as it transitions to natural deodorants.
