Nature’s Finest…Deodorants

While deodorants don’t have the same appeal as the latest lipstick from NARS cosmetics, they matter just as much because they contribute to the overall wellbeing of a woman. To raise our arms with confidence begins with a good deo, which is why this topic is getting a little lovin’ from HKI.

If you’re of the belief that companies wrecklessly use chemicals in consumer products, you’ll appreciate these natural armpit wonders…

RMS Beauty Raw Coconut Cream ($18, saffronrouge.com) is certified organic, unrefined, pure coconut oil that goes beyond it’s ability to be used as a deodorant, just apply to clean, dry underarms. It can also be used to remove makeup because coconut oil has anti-microbial, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties, so it easily removes dirt. And because coconut oil is an excellent source for antioxidant protection, you can use this product to skin and body moisturizer to slow down the signs of premature aging.  

Since 1959, Jason Natural has been creating personal goods products that contain no petrolatum, sodium lauryl, or laureth sulfates, parabens or phthalates and are never tested on animals. What Jason Natural Cosmetics Tea Tree Deodorant Stick ($6.39, jason-personalcare.com) does contain to control odor for all day protection and fight odor-causing bacteria is naturally sourced zinc ricinoleate, tea tree oil and grapefruit seed extract, cornstarch and baking soda to neutralize odor, all known for their antimicrobial properties.

A stick or cream deodorant not doing it for you? Then try KISS My Face Natural Liquid Rock Paraben-Free Deodorant ($5.99, kissmyface.com) a simple, yet effective, naturally-scented liquid mineral crystal formula that works or Lafes All Natural Roll-On  ($5.99, lafes.com) that smells like of baby powder…so sweet you have to use it.
