Natural Crystal Deodorants

Glow. Sweat. Glisten. Perspire. No matter how you look at it, we all have to "sweat it out" to flush toxins from our bodies.

Unfortunately, new research has shown that mass-marketed commercial anti-perspirant deodorants can be deletorious to our health. Science is now linking aluminum to breast cancer and Alzheimer's Disease, and I haven't seen a single commercial anti-perspirant that does not contain aluminum chlorhydrate or aluminum zirconium.

That's why I'm so excited about Natural Crystal Deodorants, which uses naturally occurring mineral salts. Don't be confused by the label. Yes, it notes that the mineral salts are made up, in part, of alum, but that's not the same as aluminum chlorohydrate or aluminum zirconium. The molecular structure of alum is much larger than the structure of our cells, so it's impossible for it to be absorbed through the skin.

Here's how it works: when you apply one of the Natural Crystal Deodorant formulations, the mineral salts kill the bacteria on the surface of your skin. A thin layer of mineral salts then remains on your skin's surface and helps inhibit further bacteria growth. That's where the odor comes from: bacteria released through your pores via your sweat glands. Healthy and normal body perspiration (or, if you're a woman, "glowing") continues, but you stay as sweet-smelling as when you stepped out of the shower.

I enjoy the roll-on hemp-oil deodorant with natural lavender fragrance. The hemp oil is soothing and leaves my skin feeling soft. My significant other, on the left side of the bathroom, enjoys the spice hemp-oil deodorant. After a 12-hour day of sweating outdoors in the sun on a construction site, he comes home still smelling good.

There's also has a nice deodorant stick for the person who likes a drier application. If you're looking for a fragrance-free deodorant, try the pump spray with aloe vera (which has numerous internal and external health benefits) and MSM, which helps treat chronic pain and problems associated with injuries or skin disorders.

You know, the skin is our largest organ -- it's our first line of defense and our last avenue of elimination -- so I'm very careful about what I put on mine. If you want to keep this vital organ as pure and free from bacteria and chemicals as possible, one sure way is to use natural, organic products both inside and outside. Put it on your calendar: Take care of you every day. Eat right. Don't sweat the small stuff. But when you do sweat, help eliminate your surface bacteria with all natural Crystal Deodorants.
