Concentrated deodorant - ARM PEACE - 15mL

Deodorant is a hygiene product that everyone knows. Created by the American brand Mum in the 1880s, this product has become widely available over the years, to the point of becoming a must-have for many people. In addition to the evolution of consumers' vision of deodorants, the methods of application and use of the product are also developing. Deodorant spray, roll-on, classic or compressed format, they can now be found in a thousand and one formats. However, the bad environmental impacts caused by the production and use of these products have been widely denounced, giving them a very bad reputation.

With progress in science and research, new cosmetic active ingredients have emerged, and many other benefits of plants have been discovered. Thanks to all of these elements, it is now possible to formulate products that are more respectful of the body, as well as the environment.

Consequently, in recent years, the trend for natural deodorants has greatly developed. Deodorants in the form of sticks, balms, or even hyper-concentrated pastes, whatever their form or scent, the promise these products hold is the same: to be less harmful to you. It's a small step for humans, but a big step for the advancement of the world of cosmetics!

Ah, aluminum salts. You must have heard about this ingredient of synthetic origin in recent years. Well known in the cosmetics sector, aluminum salts are particularly used in deodorants and antiperspirants for their strong absorbent properties, limiting or even preventing the production of perspiration. As surprising as it may seem, these components were used for the first time with the aim of replacing aluminum chloride in antiperspirants, in order to make them less irritating and therefore better tolerated by the skin. And with the proven effectiveness of these, the addition of aluminum salts in formulas has become more and more frequent, to the point of being considered essential.

But in recent years, a real war has been declared on aluminum salts. Indeed, many highlight their supposed health risks. First, let's get something straight. No, aluminum salts do not increase the risk of breast cancer. The French Agency for the Safety of Health Products (Afssaps) as well as the European Cosmetics Association (COLIPA) agree on the fact that there is no scientific basis for the claim that their use may be associated with a health risk. In reality, it is when the latter are used in too high a dose (on average 2000 times the dose to which consumers are currently exposed) that they can present toxicological dangers. So don't worry, you won't develop any illness if you frequently use a deodorant or antiperspirant that contains it. However, if you are still worried, turn to natural or organic deodorants, like ours for example. ;)
