Toxins and Aluminium Salt Free Aluminium salts are what you?ll find in all anti-perspirants, and it works by plugging the sweat glands stopping any perspiration whatsoever. Effective, however aluminium has been linked to various nasty diseases. It is for this reason many of us have been looking to alternatives and embracing our natural sweating but minimising the odour that comes with it. Before we start telling you all about the fabulous ingredients included in this formulation, let us first talk about why we think you ought to ditch the big brand mainstream deodorants and switch to a natural option. First and foremost ? there is a difference between a deodorant and an anti-perspirant. A deodorant does exactly what the name suggests. It ?deodorises? the bad smells associated with sweat whereas an anti-perspirant stops the sweat altogether. And the only ingredient known to stop perspiration altogether is aluminium. Aluminium salts are what you?ll find in all anti-perspirants, and it works by plugging the sweat glands stopping any perspiration whatsoever. Effective, however aluminium has been linked to various nasty diseases. It is for this reason many of us have been looking to alternatives and embracing our natural sweating but minimising the odour that comes with it. So let us take a look at what?s in this deodorant that can help keep you smelling sweet without blocking those glands! Sodium Bicarbonate: A natural anti bacteria salt that acts as the active ingredient here to neutralise and stop bad smells. The PH of sodium bicarbonate is alkali which helps counterbalance the acidic sweat. On its own, sodium bicarbonate can be an irritation to skin however we have carefully paired it with moisturising oils and butters to allow the bicarb to do its job without irritating your skin. Essential Oils: A holistic and bright bunch of essential oils have been carefully selected based not only on their pleasant scent but also their natural anti bacteria properties and the BO busting abilities. Using Lavender, Lemon and Tea Tree gives this natural deodorant a fresh and super clean smelling scent. Without being overbearing, the essential oils gently fragrance the deodorant with a soft, neutral clean scent that works well for both men and women. Moisture absorbers: To help soak up some of that sweat the deodorant contains natural kaolin clay and arrowroot powder. Both these elements take on the moisture and help to absorb excess sweat. Kaolin clay helps draw out toxins and unblocks pores so is great for detoxifying your armpits after years of anti-perspirant use. The deodorant comes as a solid in a push-up tube. Unlike a spray which can burn this product can be applied with ease. There is no roller-ball applicator either to trap hairs. About me... My name is Holly ? and I am the founder of The Ilex Wood. Let me tell you a little bit about myself and the ethos behind the products I create. I am a strong believer in the powers of plants and create my own herbal oil infusions that make the base of my products. I believe that simplicity is key when it comes to skin care, an effective and quality product with no more than 10 natural ingredients with no padding or water can be created; to form an active concentrated end product with desired results. Ever since I was young, I have been obsessed with nature. Growing up in the countryside and being a farmer?s daughter meant I spent a great deal of time outdoors, learning about the power of plants. Unable to find any purely natural products in the stores (many market themselves as natural but check the labels and look out for the cheap padding and water (aqua)!), I took to creating my own using the plant knowledge I gained to create effective and luxurious skin care products.
