DEODORANT INGREDIENT

THE DEODORANT INGREDIENT YOU SHOULD STOP USING BECAUSE IT’S BAD FOR SKIN

While deodorant may help smell nice and clean, it may slowly be damaging to your health. Some of them have hard to pronounce ingredients that may require you to reevaluate before using. For example;

Aluminum

Most deodorants work by the help of aluminum, which ‘blocks’ sweat from getting out of the body. The question is; where does the sweat go? Sweat is toxic, and we all know how dangerous any toxins accumulation in the body can pose dangerous health issues, including cell mutation. Frequent deodorant use can cause aluminum accumulation in the body, which is claimed to cause breast cancer. This ingredient is also dangerous to people with kidney disease because they can strain their kidneys during filtration of the aluminum. Furthermore, too much aluminum can result in degenerative illnesses like dementia and bone problems.
