For the past year or so I have kind of grimaced a little bit when I use my deodorant antiperspirant each day. Not because it was hurting me, but because I have been somewhat concerned over the main ingredient of aluminum. Like a vast amount of people online, I have read the urban legends being passed around about how many of today’s antiperspirants and deodorants can possibly cause breast cancer. At this point, it seems as if the truth to that hypothesis is undetermined. Also there are some concerns with aluminum being absorbed into one’s body and contributing to Alzheimer’s disease and other health problems. I have noticed over the years that, despite not being exposed to the sun, my armpits have a few moles that just appeared. I think most of us may have a skin tag or mole in the armpit area and it makes me wonder if it is related to mainstream antiperspirants.
While shopping at my local grocery store the other day, I found Naturally Fresh Deodorant Crystal Roll-On. I have used a deodorant crystal some years ago and didn’t particularly like it as it would sting and was rough on my skin. The price was affordable at $3.00; they also offered a pump spray product. I went with the roll-on product and was excited to get home and try it out. The ingredients are fairly simple: purified water, natural mineral salts (potassium alum), xanthan gum, phytosphingosine, and chamomile extract. Phytosphingosine is a natural chemical that has effective antibacterial properties. This is how Naturally Fresh Deodorant Crystal Roll-On works. By killing the bacteria in your armpits, the foul odor is prevented.
I have used several different underarm hygiene products in the past and have not been overly impressed. It seems that after I became a mother, my hormones have changed and caused my armpits to require a stronger deodorant. Therefore, I was skeptical that this Naturally Fresh Deodorant Crystal Roll-On was going to be effective. After using it for several days, I am happy to report that it works better than any of the others I have tried.
The Naturally Fresh Company says that their deodorant works for 24 hours, but I will be honest and say that I have not put it through that rigorous of a test. I have used it each morning and found that there has been no underarm odor whatsoever. It is hypoallergenic and the chamomile soothes your skin after shaving. I have not experienced any stinging or problems with my skin after using this deodorant.
The bottle says that it is fragrance-free, but it does have an extremely light scent, probably from the chamomile. It is not detectable once it is used and is suitable for a man or a woman. The best part about using Naturally Fresh Deodorant Crystal Roll-On is the relief it gives me in knowing I’m not applying aluminum to my skin each day. That, in itself, has made me want to continue using this product for years to come. For more information about Naturally Fresh Deodorant Crystal Roll-On, you can visit their website at www.tccd.com.
