Why is a natural deodorant better?

There are a few reasons why you might want to switch to a natural deodorant. First, many commercial deodorants contain aluminum, which has been linked to cancer and other health problems. Second, artificial fragrances in deodorants can be irritating to the skin. And finally, harsh chemicals in some deodorants can disrupt your body’s natural ability to sweat, which is not good for your overall health.
