Everyone has at least once wondered : "but do natural deodorants work like chemical ones?"
The answer is YES!
Natural deodorants respect the skin because they simply inhibit the development of microorganisms, but without altering the skin's balance. Unlike deodorants we can find in the supermarket, natural ones make use of non-harmful active ingredients such asbicarbonate. But how does it work? First of all, bicarbonate works because it acts on the cause: since the pH of sweat is acidic, a typical bacterial flora develops and proliferates in that environment, which is responsible for the formation of malodorous substances. Some of these skin bacteria, selected to live in an acidic environment, are much less active in an alkaline environment. Bicarbonate, being precisely an alkaline salt, therefore has the ability to act on the odor-causing bacterial flora by neutralizing the acidic molecules .
Why prefer natural deodorants to chemical ones?
Most deodorants on the market contain antiperspirants and astringents that can inhibit sweat secretion and thus limit the formation of bad odor. In the long run, however, the use of antiperspirants can lead to inflammation of the glands present in the underarm cavity, which can manifest as swelling, irritation, and itching. In addition, if used for long periods, they can promote the growth of pathogenic bacteria, and most of them contain aluminum salts, added to other chemicals (such as parabens), which are intended to occlude pores, preventing the body from excreting toxins through sweat.
The "good sweat" rules:
-Carefor axillary hair removal: hair retains sweat and promotes the development of odor-causing bacteria
-Avoidas much as possible synthetic clothes in direct contact with the skin: they increase body temperature and facilitate the formation of bad odor
-Incase of profuse perspiration: rub the skin of the armpits with a soft washcloth soaked in an infusion of chamomile, thyme or rosemary because they are cooling and astringent
-Hygiene is the first ally: no deodorant can do without proper daily hygiene
-Avoidusing commercial deodorants on a daily basis: reserve them for special occasions, and choose natural alternatives to use every day, such as our ROLLON DEOPIUMA WITH BICARBONATE!
