Along my health journey I found out about deodorants and how the ingredients in them were dangerous for my body. Most antiperspirants have aluminum in them, which keeps you from perspiring. I found out that the aluminum, which is found in most deodorants, are linked to health problems including cancer and Alzheimers. So my search began for a good toxin-free deodorant. I tried quite a few, some were better than others, some didn’t work at all, and believe me, there is nothing worse than realizing that the smell of body odor is coming from you. No fun, I guarantee you!

About a year ago, I tried this toxin-free deodorant from Modere and was hooked! I tested it over a weekend that I was racing BMX indoors, so if it was going to really work and keep me feeling fresh, this was the weekend for it! Sure enough – it did an amazing job keeping me fresh! It is a roll-on and I have to give it a few minutes to dry before I throw on my clothes after applying, but to have found a deodorant that worked is worth it! This deodorant is safe, effective, and non-toxic. It is not scented, which I love, so it will not overpower your perfume, if you wear one.

Every so often, my underarms seem to be more stinky than other times and so I do an underarm detox using bentonite clay and water. I take 1 tablespoon of bentonite clay and 3-4 tablespoons of water (or you can use apple cider vinegar if you’d like) and spread it like a mask over my underarms. I leave it on for about 15-20 minutes and then shower it off. Then I can to weeks and weeks with needing just a bit of deodorant! It is a miracle worker!
