TO ARMPIT DETOX OR NOT?

Ready to make the switch to a natural deo? We've gotchu!
Natural deodorants are a much safer option for your body and they allow your body to effectively remove toxins from your body, whilst minimising perspiration and leaving you smelling fresher. Normal aluminium-based deodorants are designed to stop sweat, but in the process they block the pores that your body uses to eliminate toxins.
When you use a regular deodorant (usually containing aluminium salts) over a long period of time and then make the switch to natural deodorant, your underarm pores will open up and work as they are intended to, but the problem with this is that your body hasn't released the toxins for quite some time, which can lead to more perspiration and sometimes irritation or smell - this is only temporary, while your body filters out the toxins and gets back to normal.

Check out our tips below to a successful pit detox:

PIT DETOX #1

Start using your natural Pit Balm and let your body naturally detox.
This method may include being a little smelly for awhile, just until your body has adjusted and removed all of the excess toxins remaining from your pits! 

PIT DETOX #2

Make up a pit mask (ingredients below!) and leave on your underarms for 5-10 minutes, washing off with a cool, wet cloth and repeating this process once a week. This will help accelerate the detox process.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 Tbsp of Bentonite Clay
• 2 Tsp of Purified Water
• 1 Tsp of Apple Cider Vinegar (optional)

WHAT'S INSIDE OUR PIT BALMS?

ARROWROOT POWDER 

Arrowroot powder is predominantly used in our pit balms because of its absorbent properties, this helps to reduce perspiration without clogging your pores...and it's gentle on the skin.

ZINC POWDER 

Zinc powder naturally has antimicrobial properties that help reduce bacteria and, like arrowroot powder, it is also absorbent, helping to minimise perspiration and odour.

MAGNESIUM

We use Magnesium in our Pit Balm as an alternative to baking soda. Baking soda can be quite harsh and can cause irritations, whereas magnesium has the same benefits (absorbent and fights off bacteria) but is more gentle on the skin.

DIATOMACEOUS EARTH

This plant helps neutralise odours, absorb moisture whilst helping to draw out toxins and heavy metals from your pits!
