Aluminum in deodorants is definitely something to be concerned about and an ingredient to shy away from for you and your family. It’s one of the most concerning ingredients found in your everyday conventional antiperspirants. In this article we’ll have a closer look at aluminum in deodorants, and safe natural alternatives to this toxic ingredient. 

What’s the Deal with Aluminum in Deodorants?

When most people talk about aluminum in deodorants, they’re actually referring to the aluminum compounds found in antiperspirants. These ingredients, like aluminum chlorohydrate, work by blocking sweat glands to prevent perspiration. While this might sound like exactly what you want, some studies have raised concerns about the potential long-term health effects of these chemicals. That’s why many people are looking for aluminum-free deodorants that are both safe and effective.

The Kaolin Clay in Play Pits: A Safe, Natural Alternative

Kaolin clay is a naturally occurring mineral that contains aluminum as part of its structure. Wait, what?! Here's the key point: the aluminum in kaolin clay is bound tightly within the mineral and can not be absorbed by your skin. So while it contains aluminum, it behaves very differently from the active aluminum compounds used in antiperspirants. It’s aluminum found in its natural form, not crafted in a lab, added to a deodorant for its effectiveness, disregarding its dangers and long-term consequences on our health. You see the difference? 

The aluminum in kaolin clay is not a concern for your health because it doesn’t block sweat glands or interfere with your body’s natural processes - pushing into your body what needs to come out. Unlike antiperspirant formulas, which block sweat, kaolin clay absorbs moisture and fights odor naturally, without clogging your pores.
