When you choose to try out a natural deodorant, it is important to remember that this is a very different product from antiperspirant deodorants that are commonly available. Conventional antiperspirants work by using ingredients such as aluminium chlorohydrate to block the pores and prevent your body from sweating and use synthetic fragrances to give a long lasting pleasant aroma. The dry feeling you get is because the function of sweating which is a vital way that the body expels toxins is suppressed. An organic deodorant is not trying to do this; its function is to prevent you smelling, rather than preventing you sweating. This is why you won't get the super dry "sure" effect with a natural deodorant, but an effective one such as the Green People organic deodorants will help to combat the smell.Green People organic deodorants contain deodorant crystal, which is a naturally occurring mineral which when in contact with the skin prevents the bacteria in sweat breeding. It's these bacteria that create the unpleasant sweaty smell when they multiply. Organic deodorants use natural essential oils to give a pleasant aroma, rather than synthetic fragrances, which have been linked to allergies and asthma, and they don't use paraben preservatives, which have been shown to mimic oestrogen in the body. When using an organic deodorant you won't be able to run a marathon and still remain completely sweat free, but used in conjunction with good basic hygiene, you will be able to prevent unpleasant odours whilst not exposing yourself to undesirable cosmetic ingredients and suppressing the body's vital functions.
