deodorants They have become the undisputed protagonists of our day to day. Finding the perfect deodorant can be a desperate long-distance race, but when you finally find it; security and confidence take over you. Summer is just around the corner and the arrival of high temperatures accelerates his desperate search.

If deodorants have made one thing clear to us over the years, it is that they are one of the favorite options for making the leap to more natural and healthy cosmetics. The formats are increasingly unique, challenging the conventional highly polluting ones to which we are so accustomed.

Although this search can be complex, we have more and more information in our possession to be able to choose the healthiest alternatives. As basic we must take into account factors such as; Non-staining, non-irritating, aluminum-free, paraben-free, fragrance-chemical, alcohol-free, and unnecessary packaging.

But not all skins admit the same deodorant. Sensitive or atopic skin is the one that suffers the most when daring to innovate and try options... If finding the perfect deodorant continues to be one of your pending subjects, read this post carefully to find all the keys you need to know.

Why does intolerance to deodorants occur?

We can affirm that intolerance to deodorants occurs when, after applying them, we experience intense itching, redness and flaking in the armpit area. The symptoms always depend on the level of sensitivity of the skin itself. We must bear in mind that these are not always immediate, they can appear suddenly or gradually after days, weeks or even months after exposure to irritating agents.

These symptoms are not always due to the use of a highly astringent deodorant. There are other conditions such as aggressive hair removal, the use of soap with strong surfactants or an infection... What is clear is that sensitive skin is prone to this type of irritation. This may be because our skin is more sensitive in contact with certain chemical products such as; perfumes, essential oils, bicarbonate, preservatives (or parabens), aluminum or alcohol. Seeing itself translated into pictures of contact dermatitis.

To avoid this type of condition if your skin is very sensitive, you should be guided by the INCIS of the products and know very well the active ingredients that you should avoid: petroleum derivatives, phthalates, ethoxylates, formaldehyde releasers, organic halogenated compounds, disodium, tetrasodium edta, etidronate, amines, nitrites, parfum, phenol and phenyl, parabens, methylchloroisothiazolinone, methylisothiazolinone and triclosan.

Taking into account the previous list, these are 4 of the main allergens that you should avoid in a deodorant especially indicated for sensitive skin:

• Avoid all those deodorants with a high degree of astringency and ethyl alcohol in its formulation, since they overdry the armpit, dehydrating and irritating the area. Some of the most common symptoms are redness and itching. You should avoid applying deodorants with alcohol after waxing.
• The aluminum It is another of the active ingredients that you should avoid at all times. These assets create a cover that clogs the pores, preventing perspiration from the sweat glands. In addition, there are numerous refuted studies that establish the relationship between aluminum deodorants and breast cancer.
• Sodium bicarbonate. Despite being a very healthy and effective natural astringent, sensitive skin should avoid it. Its alkaline composition dries the skin and can eliminate the skin's protective barrier and alter the pH.
• essential oils they provide mainly aromatic properties to deodorants. These, despite being natural, can be considered potential allergens in contact with the most sensitive skin, causing rashes. So it is important to use unscented deodorants.
