It's worth remembering that natural ingredients can still cause skin reactions. For example, bicarbonate of soda can irritate the skin and cause itchiness, especially if used after shaving, and some essential oils that are commonly found in natural deodorants might also cause skin irritation. Part of the allure of crystal deodorant is that you’re able to avoid the chemicals found in conventional deodorant. Moisturising agents tend to be naturally derived options such as cacao or shea butter, coconut and almond oil. Similar to the Natural Deo Co offering, it contains bicarbonate of soda and arrowroot to help prevent odours by altering the skin's natural pH. What they do contain is Potassium Alum, which Salt of the Earth explains is from the aluminium salt family. Does Salt of the Earth deodorant work?Salt of the Earth's range has evolved into sprays, roll-ons, balms and more since it first launched the Classic Crystal – so it's no surprise that our first impressions were that this is a super no-frills product. Potassium Alum is a natural mineral salt used in many CRYSTAL™ deodorants that controls odor without clogging pores. For centuries, natural mineral salts have been used to prevent body odour. One of these natural salts, potassium alum, is the main active ingredient in Salt of the Earth’s Unscented Natural Deodorant Spray. Potassium alum creates an invisible antibacterial layer on the skin’s surface that helps to control the growth of bacteria, preventing body odour. The result is effective, long-lasting protection that allows your skin to breathe. For that reason, Salt of The Earth's range of roll-on deodorants are definitely worth a look if you'd rather save the faff of wetting and drying your deodorant each time.

Though the Crystal deodorant stone is famously free of aluminum chloride and aluminum chlorohydrate—synthetic chemicals that have been linked to breast cancer—its key ingredient does contain naturally-occurring aluminum that could potentially penetrate the skin when mixed with water. (Same goes for theother stone deodorant brands.) No studies have directly proventhe element in its organic state to be harmful, but it’s still caused some controversy among natural-beauty devotees. Users of Fit Pit in the office had mixed opinions on it. Some told us it was 'effective and long lasting' but 'can be a bit messy to apply'. Keep in mind that scented crystal deodorants could contain other ingredients. Carefully read the entire ingredient list.

The natural deodorant with fashion-world roots

Wearing deodorant and antiperspirant may inhibit the release of toxins from your body. Preventing your body from sweating naturally is thought to lead to clogged pores and a buildup of toxins. Excessive rubbing could cause irritation on skin. Please be gentle with your skin. Do not apply salt to open skin or wounds. If under medical supervision or pregnant, please consult with a physician before use. Potassium Alum is different from aluminum chlorohydrate and aluminum zirconium, which are regulated antiperspirant drugs found in many products, made specifically to clog pores and inhibit a person’s natural ability to sweat. Making the switch at a time when you don't have lots of high-stress work, activities or social events will take the pressure off.
