The Best Natural Deodorants for Men

Getting your husband, partner, brother or father to switch to a natural deodorant can be difficult when they don't want to give up their beloved supermarket brand. Men often need more protection than women simply because they generally have more problems with excessive sweat and body odour. In mainstream antiperspirants, Aluminium Salts are often used as the active ingredient to plug sweat glands and control body odour.¹ Other ingredients such as Talc are also used to absorb moisture, not to mention the parabens, phthalates and synthetic fragrances which may be present too.² Many people, men especially, tend to think that without these toxic ingredients, deodorants just won't work. The great news is that that's simply not true, and guys now have just as much choice when it comes to natural deodorants, with a range of different types and scents to suit their personal tastes!
