Unfortunately, many of the scary chemicals contained in most deodorants can also be harmful to fertility. The amount of toxins that go into making deodorant is staggering. These harmful chemicals make their way into our bloodstream when applied to the delicate skin under our arms. Some of the most common toxins found in conventional deodorants include:
- Aluminum: linked to disrupted hormones, breast cancer, and neurological diseases
- Fragrance: linked to hormonal disruption, increased risk of miscarriage, and pregnancy complications
- Parabens: linked to infertility in both sexes, hormonal disruption, and breast cancer
- Phthalates: linked to decreased fertility in both sexes, developmental issues in children, and cancers
- Triclosan: linked to hormonal disruption and diminished ovarian reserve
Below are some of my favorite toxin-free brands that are safe for your health and fertility. Please note that oftentimes many “clean” brands carry some products that contain toxins. As such, it’s generally important to review each product individually versus trusting a brand’s complete product line. For many of the products listed below, I’ve called out specific “scents” that are toxin-free. You can also look up the products you use on www.EWG.org/skindeep or the Think Dirty App to get their rating, a detailed list of the ingredients, and how they may impact your health.
