Not All Deodorants Are Created Equal 

Updated: May 19, 2020

Have you ever heard of Propylene Glycol? It's a petroleum based antifreeze I use to winterize my trailer plumbing. Even under extremely cold weather conditions, this chemical doesn't allow any residual water that may have been left in the plumbing to freeze, thereby protecting my pipes from bursting! Do you know that Propylene Glycol is also used in the majority of deodorants and antiperspirants we buy and slather under our arms, as well as a majority of lotions and makeup on the market??? It keeps the deodorant slick. It's also been linked to heart damage, liver damage and damage to our central nervous system 😮 Store bought deodorants are also loaded with aluminum (breast cancer and alzheimers), phthalates (Phthalates, a family of industrial chemicals used to soften PVC plastic and as solvents in cosmetics and other consumer products, can damage the liver, kidneys, lungs, and reproductive system — particularly the developing testes) and a ton of other chemicals 😥

My son developed cancer in his late teens/early 20's (lost his leg) and I've often wondered what impact, if any, this crap may have played, as he used toxic deodorants/body washes/shampoo morning and night. I'm not blaming any of the manufacturers, it's just something that makes you wonder 🤔 I encourage you to read the labels and think twice about what you're applying to both your and your children's bodies and consider alternatives to the chemically laden products you're using now. These large companies use these chemicals because they're cheap fillers in their products. Cheap means a higher profit for the exec's and big yearly bonuses. I offer a 100% organic deodorant that really works! It's not an antiperspirant (our bodies need to perspire in order to keep us cool, and to remove toxins! Think fever sweat), but it does stop the stink, naturally. It's a little firmer than store bought, but it lasts a LOT longer in the tube so you won't have to buy as often. It also has the added benefit of keeping your armpits soft and moisturized. It doesn't clog your pores either. My superior deodorants are perfect for teens, adults and the elderly, 100% safe to use on all skin types and wonderful for breast cancer patients/survivors who want to avoid all chemicals, especially in such a delicate area.


My NEW Easy Glide Organic Deodorant formulation, goes on slick and smooth, controls odours all day AND doesn't stain clothing!


*Sensitive Skin? Ask me about my Easy Glide without Sodium Bicarbonate (which may cause slight rash in some individuals, why your pits detox from commercial deodorants)

Available in Lavender, English Garden and Citrus $12/85gm tube
