October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month... a time to reflect on the choices we make every day that may affect our health and wellbeing.
At AZ Naturally, we believe that what goes on your body is just as important as what goes in it. That’s why our natural, aluminum-free deodorant is made with simple, skin-loving ingredients and never harsh chemicals, preservatives, or synthetic fragrances.
Many conventional deodorants and antiperspirants use aluminum compounds to block sweat glands. While this may reduce perspiration, it also prevents one of the body’s natural detox pathways from doing its job. The underarm area is rich in lymph nodes that are part of the body’s immune and cleansing system. Keeping that area free from clogging ingredients allows your skin to breathe and your body to detoxify naturally.
Beyond aluminum, we also stay away from other chemicals that have raised health concerns:
-
Parabens - Synthetic preservatives often used in skincare and cosmetics. Some studies suggest parabens can mimic estrogen in the body, and since breast tissue is sensitive to hormones, many choose to avoid them... https://www.niehs.nih.gov/health/topics/agents/endocrine
-
Phthalates - Commonly hidden in “fragrance” blends to help scents last longer, phthalates have been linked to hormone disruption.
-
Triclosan - An antibacterial chemical once common in soaps and deodorants, triclosan may contribute to antibiotic resistance and hormone disruption.
Our Tallow Deodorant blends nourishing, grass-fed tallow with gentle, odor-fighting ingredients like magnesium hydroxide and yarrow-infused jojoba oil, plus pure organic essential oils for a naturally fresh scent... no synthetic fragrances, no hidden chemicals.
Each ingredient is chosen to support healthy skin and natural function... not suppress it.
Making small changes like switching to a clean, aluminum-free deodorant is one way to care for yourself in the most personal way possible.
Let this Breast Cancer Awareness Month be a reminder that prevention starts with mindfulness... in our choices, our environment, and the products we use every day.
Because you deserve skincare that’s as pure as your intentions.
