Finding the best aluminum-free deodorants can be a trying experience. You have probably heard of the possibly harmful effects of aluminum and other harsh chemicals found in most deodorants.

Therefore, it is often recommended that we avoid antiperspirants and only use deodorants that do not contain aluminum salts. It is important to read labels carefully because some products are both antiperspirants and deodorants, some are just deodorants, and some are just antiperspirants. Until we know more about how aluminum affects our bodies, it is best to steer clear.

An LA-based holistic nutritionist designs the Detox that eliminates sugar, dairy, and other potential food allergens. “This program is simple. We’ve eliminated all the usual suspects (gluten, dairy, corn, sugar, alcohol, and caffeine), and it’s mostly vegetarian, save for some bone broth.
