For all the ones interested, i'm going to start posting some brands for bio/natural products you could use. (it is no advertising)
Today im gonna post on antiperspirants.
First of all, many antiperspirants contain aluminum chlorohydrate (ACH) as the active ingredient which is the first reason for breast cancer. Buy antiperspirants and deodorants w/out aluminium.
Aluminium free deodorants are not as effective as antiperspirants in terms of keeping you "dry". Antiperspirant -as its name says- blocks your perspiration, which is why many brands use ACH - il bloque les pores pour ne pas transpirer ce qui n'est pas naturel en fait, le corps doit transpirer, mais au moins les deos sans alu ne te font pas puer!
So basicly if u like to use natural deos u have to forget about being 100% dry but it's not "waterfalls" either
You smell good though and that's important.
But there are free alu deos that leave you dry almost as the chemical antiperspirants do though they are not 100% natural. I will post only the good ones which I have also used and tested!
There is a very good cosmetic brand called LUSH- Only natural products used and not tested on animals. If were you live you have it i strongly recommend everything they have. ( originally english but you can find it almost everywhere now, i don't think we have it in Lebanon yet, someone should open a LUSH store, really priceless stuff they have!)
DEODORANT brands
all the following deos sticks can be used on sensitive skin. do not irritate. and leave no stains on clothes. Effective on a regular day= minimum physical activity and moderate climat.
ROC- Keops (stick!) : aluminium free, no alcohol, sans parfum, but w/ paraben ( sometimes u can't have it all!) but very good deo. last 24h dry. I like it. (Att:Keops spray contains ACH)
Origins- no offense : aluminim free, no alcohol. good one. nice smell.
SANEX : all their deos are ok. not very dry though but no alcohol, no aluminium. little price, french brand, en grande surface.(contains
Narta- Fraicheur douce : No alcohol, no aluminium. lasts through the day . nice smell. little price
Cristal rock : any brand in supermarket or you can find it in any spice market. it is a potassium alum rock. (basicly salt cristal) A natural antiseptic stone which acts as an anti bacteria proliferator ( bacterias present at the surface of
the skin are at the origin of body odours). 100%mineral. Lasts 24h. Sans parfum. Economical (at least 6 months use). Hypoallergenique. Dermatological. Can be also used as an after shave lotion on irritated skin for men ( use it on humid skin). Has a soothing effect. Just rub it for 10sec on humid skin. Actually if compared to all the others it is the best coz the most natural no conservative, no synthetical, nor petrochemical derivatives.
Jasön- Aloe Vera : Organic. Efficacité moyenne.
Phyt's (spray): Organic. very good product. w/essential oils.
Avalon Organic Botanicals : 100% vegetarian bio natural deodorant non tested on animals.(w/ aloe, calendula, camomille, green tea, lemon, and glycerine) very good product. très bon rapport qualité prix.
LUSH-Aromacreme: Is the best. Organic and effective. it's a cream that you rub under your arm with your finger. fantastic smell.
Melvita : Organic, less effective than Lush as to keeping you dry but depends on each individual too.
Natural Swiss brands such as
Weleda, Dr. Haushka, Biokosma, and
Logona (Germany) are Very Good!
Attention aux produits et deos qui utilisent le Triclosan: cancérigène et perturbe l'equilibre hormonal. A éviter.
Basicly these are good products quality and health wise.
If anyone would like to add to this list more products please do.
