How to choose your deodorant?

To choose the right deodoranttwo criteria come into play: format and composition. But between the different lengths of protection, spray and roll-on formats, mini and compressed, the nuances between natural and organic deodorants, and the many promises about effectiveness and the absence of harmful substances, choosing the right deodorantisn't so easy... To help you make the right choice, discover our advice!

Which active ingredients in deodorants should be avoided?

In order to help you make a better choice on the shelves, here is a list of the main ingredients most often found in "conventional" deodorants.

Phthalates: their harmful effects are mainly on fertility
Triclosan: an endocrine disruptor with associated reproductive effects
Denatured alcohol: irritant, not recommended for sensitive skin
Talc: its origin is often uncertain. Depending on the deposit where it was extracted, it may contain mineral fibres classified in the same way as asbestos fibres.

In reality, deodorant and antiperspirant fall into two quite distinct categories, in terms of both composition and mode of action.

Theantiperspirant, via an agent (e.g. aluminum salts), will form a layer over the sweat glands and thus tighten the skin pores. This prevents, at least in part, the healthy, natural process of perspiration from taking place normally.

A deodorant, on the other hand, doesn't combat the production of sweat, but helps mask those odors we're trying to avoid. With its antibacterial agents and fragrances, deodorant masks unpleasant odours and eliminates the bacteria that cause them, or focuses on odour absorption, or combines these two modes of action.

What type of deodorant should I choose?

They come in different sizes, so the choice will depend on your preferences, but also on the cause of your sweating.

The deodorant spray: It is easy and quick to apply and dries quickly.
The roll-on / roll-on deodorant: It does not smell strong in the room and preserves the environment.
The deodorant in stick: It is less fatty than the cream, but a little more nourishing than the roll-on.
Cream deodorant: It takes care of the skin of the armpits and thus avoids the drying.

What is the best natural deodorant?

An essential hygiene product, it is used every day to act on the armpits. In this area, where the skin is particularly fragile, skin care products penetrate more easily into the body, at repeated intervals. Hence the interest in opting for a natural deodorant with more respectful ingredients. Let's also think about the environment: when you wash, all the active ingredients are eliminated in the waste water. The problem is that some of the active ingredients are so small that sewage treatment plants are not able to "sort" them out. They will therefore pollute the water...

Which organic deodorant to choose?

An organic deodorant will work in different ways:

It can mask bad smells through comforting scents (perfumes, essential oils...)
It can absorb sweat with vegetable or mineral powders.
It may contain antibacterial or bactericidal substances, thus preventing them from multiplying.
