People sweat because heat and toxins have to be removed from the body. Deodorant ensures that the sweat odor is masked. It contains dozens of substances that all have a specific function. One of these substances is aluminum. Aluminum is used in deodorants in the form of aluminum salts. These are aluminum zirconium, aluminum sesquichlorohydrate and aluminum chloride.

Different brands of natural aluminum-free deodorants
-
If you want to switch to a natural aluminum-free deodorant, there is a chance that you will start to smell more like sweat. The reason for this is that the armpits have become used to aluminum. This will be over after a few days of use. There is a wide range of different natural aluminum-free deodorants. Some of these brands are:
Alternatives
-
Besides the use of aluminum-free deodorants, there are also natural alternatives, such as:
Alum
-
Alum is a natural mineral salt and can be used as a deodorant. It does not clog pores so the body can simply excrete sweat. Alum is not absorbed by the skin and is odorless. In addition to being used as a deodorant, it is also used in oral care products. When alum comes into contact with bacteria, it slows down bacterial growth. Sweat odor is thus prevented.
Lemon or lime
-
The acidity of a lemon or lime ensures that you sweat less. The acid kills the bacteria. This will prevent you from getting a sweaty smell. Cut a lemon or lime into slices and rub it under your armpits. However, this is not recommended if the armpits have just been shaved as it will sting. It is a fresh lime or lemon, not the juice from a bottle.
Make your own deodorant
-
Of course you can also make your own deodorant with natural ingredients. A homemade multi-ingredient deodorant will last longer than a single ingredient. What do you need?
