Is Natural Deodorant an anti-perspirant?
No, it will eliminate the odor, not the perspiration. All antiperspirant products contain aluminum or zirconium (or both) which reduce underarm moisture (sweat) by tightening (closing-down) the skin pores, thus blocking the sweat glands. Our bodies respire to release toxins and heavy metals. If we block this process, serious health complications may be the result. Many major health problems such as breast cancer and Alzheimers have been linked to the use of such chemicals in the deodorant! Nursing mothers definitely do not want to use deodorant with chemicals!
