Your armpits need detoxification — and they deserve care, not chemicals.
For a long time, we've used deodorants and antiperspirants without a second thought. Apply, put on, and go. But what most people don't know is that what we put on our armpits every day can have a profound impact on the health of our skin, our hormones—and our overall well-being.
The good news? There's a natural (and effective) way to stay fresh without blocking perspiration or overloading your body with synthetic ingredients. Here, we explain everything you need to know to make the transition to a natural deodorant —stress-free, odor-free, and with much more awareness.
1. Why give up regular deodorants and antiperspirants?
Most common deodorants and antiperspirants contain aluminum salts , which literally block sweat ducts—preventing the body from carrying out one of its main detoxification processes.
These compounds, combined with synthetic fragrances , alcohol, and parabens , can affect the skin's microbiota, irritate sensitive underarms, and even interfere with hormonal regulation.
These seemingly harmless products can compromise the body's ability to process toxins — creating a vicious cycle: unbalanced skin → more odor → more product → more imbalance.
2. What to expect during the transition?
The transition to a natural deodorant may feel strange at first—but it's temporary.
Here's what can happen (and why):
-
Natural detoxification: the body begins to release accumulated toxins — it's normal to have more odor or perspiration for a few days.
-
Rebalancing the microbiota: by stopping the killing of "good" bacteria, the skin of the armpits will regulate itself.
-
More sensitive skin: if you have been exposed to harsh formulas, you may need time to recover.
Extra tip: use a soothing cream deodorant or a stick deodorant for sensitive skin. During the first 2 to 3 days, it can help smooth the transition. Both contain activated charcoal , an ingredient known for absorbing impurities and enhancing the skin's natural detoxification process —especially important during this adaptation phase.
3. How to choose the right natural deodorant for you?
It's important to know that not all natural deodorants are the same . Some are more absorbent, others gentler, and there are specific formulas for sensitive skin.

Hydrate (really) - The smell of sweat has everything to do with what we put into our bodies. Taking Detox Drops — with chlorophyll and plants that support the liver — helps eliminate toxins more effectively, which can make all the difference in your natural body odor. Drink plenty of water and support your digestion with formulas that help the body detoxify daily .
How chlorophyll ( Detox Drops ) helps reduce body odor:
-
Neutralizes indoor odors.
Chlorophyll binds to compounds responsible for unpleasant odors (such as sulfur and ammonia) and helps neutralize them before they are eliminated through sweat. -
Supports liver function and digestion.
A more efficient liver and cleaner digestion result in fewer toxins in the body — which translates to less smelly sweat. -
Balances pH and gut flora.
Chlorophyll has alkalizing and prebiotic properties, which help maintain an indoor environment less conducive to the proliferation of odor-causing bacteria. -
Reduces inflammation.
A less inflamed organism also expels fewer aggressive compounds through sweat.
