Aside from Water, many of the Ingredients are not only difficult to pronounce... they are also not suitable for exposure in Humans and Animals. Additionally, most "Commercial Products" are devastating to the environment (in the manufacturing of and disposal of finished container and ingredient remnants).

So, why do these account for 75% (or more) of all the products in this specific market, in the United States, and some other parts of the World?

Deodorant -or- Aluminum Antiperspirant

Deodorant (Body Fragrance)

or

Aluminum Antiperspirant

Unfortunately, “Internet Chain Letters” and The United States “F.D.A.” seem to provide equally irrational stories, with little middle ground based on logic, yet exclusive capital gains.

The true meaning of Deodorant-
Deodorant is simply a cosmetic without any medical qualities. It is a topical perfume/cologne Rub or Spray! It covers the odor! That’s it.

Now, if you seem to perspire less when you have nice body odor… that is may be a coincidence. Unless pasting something, anything, under your arm creates a barrier (which would be blocking Toxins from leaving your body through gland portals and pores), it cannot offer any medical grade ingredient to halt the body’s ability to perspire. And, at the very least, most typical, mass-produced Deodorants (from almost all corporations) are not quality scents. So why do people choose to wear them daily?

We do know that through the ages, varying forms of Society had claimed the bathing was not advisable for your health yet, also was a practice for serf/servant class of people. Perfume and Deodorant use, over bathing, was encouraged by Medical Professionals and your typical peers.

Antiperspirant-

Astringent component and/or compound of chemicals, when applied to skin actually stop/halt or hinder flow of perspiration, usually containing Aluminum.

Ingredients To Avoid:

• Aluminum: (Aluminum chlorohydrate= ACH, Aluminum compound, Aluminum Zirconium Tetrachororhydrex Gly= AZAG) *Explained in detail in BLOG dated 02 April 2008
• Dimethocone/Cyclomethicone (Silicone)- Promotes Tumors and Gathers in the Lymph Nodes
• Parabens (Benzyl, Butyl, Ethyl, Methyl, and Propyl) Toxic! Strong enough to inhibits microbial growth (which should not be used on/in your body).

Washing with clean water and a body cleanser/body scrub is sufficient!

Propylene Glycol

• If inhaled: Respiratory problems, irregular heartbeat, low blood pressure, blood and kidney disorders.
• If consumed: Brain Damage, Intravascular Hemolysis (destroying the Red Blood Cells),Pulmonary oedema, hypoglycaemia, and Death may occur.

Talc

• Talc in the genital area is associated with a three-to-four fold increase in the development of cancer

Toluene (Methyl benzene, Methyl benzol, Phenyl methane, Toluol)

• Vapors Harmful or Fatal if swallowed! Dangerous if inhaled or penetrated into skin.

Triclosan (a chlorophenol)

This Synthetic Microbial agent may even be present in your family's toothpaste!

• Human and Environmental Risk including Cancer, Reproductive Issues, & Birth Defects.
• Even small amounts of TRICLOSAN, if taken internally, can lead to:

Circulatory collapse

Coma

Convulsions

Death

Sodium Stearate

• Used in Pesticides
• Plastic additive for stabilty
• Cancer causing
• Neurotoxin
