Natural vs Traditional Deodorants: Making the Right Choice
Choosing the right deodorant can be a bit tricky with so many options available. Is it better to use a natural deodorant or a traditional one? Let’s delve into the differences, benefits, and how Thankyou’s antiperspirant deodorants provide a sustainable solution for your everyday needs.
What’s the Difference Between Deodorant and Antiperspirant?
Before we dive into the comparison between traditional and natural deodorants, it’s also important to consider the difference between deodorants and antiperspirants, as they serve different purposes. Deodorants help to mask or eliminate body odour, while antiperspirants reduce sweating by blocking sweat glands.
Thankyou offers a range of antiperspirant deodorants that do both, available in refreshing scents like Cypress & Cedar and Coconut & Santal.
Traditional Deodorants
Chemicals in Conventional Deodorants
DeodorantsTraditional deodorants typically contain synthetic fragrances, parabens, and aluminium compounds. These chemicals are designed to deliver lasting fragrance, though can be harmful ingredients for the human body and the planet.
Impact of Conventional Deodorants
While they can be effective, traditional deodorants have multiple drawbacks. Synthetic chemicals can irritate sensitive skin. Additionally, traditional deodorants often come in single-use plastic packaging, contributing to environmental waste.
Natural Deodorants
Thankyou’s deodorant uses natural origin ingredients and is free from any harsh chemicals. This makes our antiperspirant deodorant safe for your skin and the environment. While other brands offer natural deodorants, Thankyou’s deodorant is a pretty special one with its 48-hour coverage, coming in a design-led, sustainable refill system while also helping end extreme poverty.
How Do They Work?
Natural deodorants work by neutralising odour-causing bacteria and absorbing sweat rather than blocking sweat glands. They allow the body to perspire naturally while keeping you feeling fresh.
Overcoming The Deodorant Purge
Switching from chemically-laced deodorants, conventional deodorants, to natural or natural origin deodorants can cause what we call ‘The Purge.’ This term references the period it takes to adjust to the natural deodorant and to feel like your new deodorant is working.
As we know at Thankyou, this is a tricky time, we honour returns if you want to return the product without waiting this period out. Though, if you stick with it, we believe you’ll be happy you did, and this will be better for your body’s health long-term.
