Green Product of the Week

 

One of the most difficult natural products for me to switch over to was deodorant.  Over the last year I have tried about a dozen different products in this category.  I’ve tried powders, sprays, bars, liquids, and tradition deodorant sticks.  I found many of them didn’t work.  I was smelly, my clothes were smelly, and some even caused me to break out into rashes.  So after each disappointing test, I would go back to my “bad for me” deodorant that made me smell fresh and clean.  The reason I say bad-for-me, is because there have been many studies that show there are cancer causing agents in a lot of the traditional deodorants and antiperspirants we use.  Yikes!  Not worth it.

I finally feel my search is over.  I have now discovered Lafes all natural roll on deodorant.  I went with the active formula to give me a little extra protection.  What makes it green?  Lafes is gluten, paraben, and propylene glycol free.  It contains no harmful aluminums, was not tested on animals,  is certified organic, and is made with organic hemp oil, aloe vera, and essential oils.  Another thing I love is that 1% of their profits go to support breast cancer prevention.
