Why you should switch to natural deodorant

All you need to know about Natural Deodorant

Choosing a deodorant is an important part of our daily hygiene routine, yet many of us might not think twice about what we’re applying to our skin every day.

With the rise of natural beauty products, more and more people are reconsidering their deodorant choices. If you’re wondering whether to make the switch from synthetic to natural deodorant, here are some reasons why our natural deodorant from UpCircle is the best choice.

Healthier Ingredients

Natural deodorants are made from ingredients that are usually safer and less harsh on the skin, when compared to the synthetic options on the market. In our UpCircle Natural Deodorant, the main ingredients are:

  • Upcycled Prickly Pear: Antimicrobial properties to keep you fresh all day
  • Coconut Oil and Sunflower Seed Wax: Protects against odour whilst hydrating the skin
  • Bergamot Peel Oil: Helps prevent congested pores and ingrown hairs
  • Macadamia Oil: Leaves skin soft and supple
  • Coconut Oil: Deeply nourishes and prevents irritation, perfect for post-shave skin

100% of the ingredients in the UpCircle Natural Deodorant are natural.

Synthetic deodorants often contain chemicals such as aluminum compounds, parabens, and synthetic fragrances. These ingredients can sometimes cause irritation, and there is ongoing debate about their long-term health effects.

More Earth Conscious

The UpCircle brand focuses on sustainability and practices around repurposing waste. They also use 100% recyclable packaging, avoiding harmful chemicals that can contaminate water supplies, and put plastic-free practices at the forefront.

All synthetic deodorants come in some kind of single-use casing and fit into the linear consumer model: Buy - use - throw away.

By choosing the UpCircle deodorant, you’re often supporting two eco-conscious companies committed to a low-waste system: UpCircle and us, Green Pear Eco!

Promotes Natural Body Functions

Sweating is a natural and necessary bodily function that helps regulate temperature and eliminate toxins. Synthetic antiperspirants work by blocking sweat glands, which interferes with this process.

Natural deodorants allow your body to sweat as intended while addressing odour naturally, supporting your body’s natural detoxification processes. The fragrances in natural deodorants come from essential oils and plant extracts rather than synthetic chemicals.

This means you can enjoy pleasant, natural scents without the risk of synthetic fragrance allergies or irritation. Additionally, essential oils often have their own beneficial properties, such as antibacterial or calming effects, adding another layer of goodness to your deodorant choice.

Transparency and Conscious Consumerism

Conscious brands are more transparent about their ingredient lists and production processes. This openness allows consumers to make informed decisions about what they’re putting on their bodies. Supporting companies that prioritize cruelty-free testing and organic ingredients aligns with the values of conscious consumerism.

By choosing products with healthier ingredients, you can take better care of your skin, respect your body’s natural processes, and contribute to a more sustainable world. While it might take some time for your body to adjust to a natural deodorant, many find the long-term benefits to be well worth the initial transition period. So, if you’re looking for a deodorant that’s better for you and the environment, natural is the way to go.
