Deodorant
A deodorant is
a substance
applied to the
body to
prevent or
mask body
odor due to
bacterial
breakdown of
perspiration in
the armpits,
groin, and
feet, and in
some cases
vaginal secretions. A subclass of deodorants, called
antiperspirants, prevents sweating itself, typically by
blocking sweat glands.
Deodorants are designed to help prevent body odor—
and keep you smelling like a
field of lilacs. While it won't
stop you from sweating,
deodorant can eliminate the
naturally occurring bacteria
on your skin and help get
rid of unpleasant body
odors.
DEODORANT
INGREDIENTS AND ITS
EFFECTS IN HUMANS
AND IN ENVIRONMENT:
Aluminum-Our natural deodorants are made using Potassium
Alum, a naturally occurring salt. Aluminum sulfate is fairly non-
toxic, with acute and chronic oral LD50 both greater than
5,000mg/kg (5). However, aluminum can still cause irritation,
burns, and respiratory issues. If inhaled, it may cause headaches,
nausea, and respiratory irritations.
