Why I Made The Switch to Natural Deodorant

This post is NOT sponsored. I truly love the product and wear it everyday!

Did you know it only takes 26 seconds for self care products to be absorbed into your bloodstream? That’s a scary thought considering all the cancer-causing agents, parabens, and toxins found in many beauty products today. My clean beauty journey started last December when Switch2Pure founder, Estela Cockrell hosted the #boxwoodsbreakfastclub to an eye opening brunch.

Estela founded the company after struggling with an autoimmune disorder and discovering all the health harming ingredients in her everyday products. Backed by a scientific team, she has done the research to find products that are “pure + clean + natural + non-toxic”. She has made it simple for anyone to #maketheswitch to clean beauty and skincare.

Since that December, I have been wearing this natural probiotic deodorant in lavender rose. It’s paraben and aluminum free. (Natural deodorant had been on my mind since I read The Notebook. Alzheimer’s is such a sad disease and the thought of not knowing my children one day is terrifying!) Your body is supposed to sweat – that’s how it eliminates toxins and bacteria. Aluminum prevents this process. Now I was nervous about sweating but honestly, I don’t sweat that much anymore!

When you make the switch to natural deodorant, your body goes through the above 4 week detox process.  My friend Candace and I definitely exchanged some funny texts during weeks 2 & 3 of the detox but the process passes quickly. With the cooler Fall temps, now is the perfect time to make the switch!
