Moms Wear Your Tees Blog: natural deodorant review

Since 1959, JASON Natural Products has been the leading purveyor of pure and natural products for skin, body, hair and oral health for the whole family, giving consumers effective, environmentally-friendly alternatives to mass-produced, synthetic chemical products.

I have to say that there are a ton of new natural product companies and I love that but at the same time, I have to give a big hats off to a long standing consistent company like Jason Natural Products! I have been using and loving Jason's deodorants since I was in high school. I was fortunate enough to try the Apricot Deodorant Stick Long-Lasting Protection Especially Gentle Formula this time and I love the smell. Even my three year old son noticed it and said, "What smells yummy?" after I put it on the first time! JASON Apricot Deodorant Stick is formulated without Aluminum Chlorohydrate which is one of the main reasons like to use it (Newer evidence has linked breast cancer with aluminium-based antiperspirants* though I don't know if it is conclusive I prefer not to chance it!) I also love what is formulated with! Apricot Oil, Vitamin E, Shea Butter and Certified Organic Corn Starch, all help the Apricot Deodorant deliver soft, soothing freshness.

I also was able to try the 6-IN-1 Natural Shaving Lotion for my husband. He really likes it and if you know my husband, that is saying a lot! He said at first he put it on he thought nothing special but then he could really feel it working and it felt really soothing to his skin. He has very sensitive skin and has to be careful when he shaves not to irritate it because it can be prone to break out. This works great for him. Certified organic Aloe Vera Gel, known for its soothing properties, cushions the skin for a close, friction-free shave. This formula also contains natural massaging Jojoba beads to gently lift the hair shat and exfoliate without drying the skin. I love that this all natural, pH balanced, and propellant-free shaving lotion really delivers.

Jason Natural Products also has a wonderful body wash. I chose to try the Citrus Satin Shower Natural Body Wash. I like that it is Lauryl/Laureth Sulfates Free to start with! I love the ingredients- refreshing citrus, relaxing Chamomile, rich natural Apricot Oil and Vitamin E. They all work together to deliver a luxurious foam and amazingly good smell. I am not kidding when I tell you that I considering soaping myself up a second time just because it smelled so good and refreshing. It was really a treat! I also like that you can get it in the 30 ounce size because we tend to go through body wash fairly quickly, plus I dig the pump!

Since our inception in 1959, JASON has strived to produce only pure, carefully balanced products that contain the highest quality, naturally sourced ingredients, known to be skin compatible and proven effective... Today, our top quality, affordable line features over 200 products.

JASON did provide me with the items I mentioned in the hopes that I would share my honest opinions. I received no monetary compensation and the opinions expressed are my own.

I was recently browsing all of the awesome natural products available at Nature's Basin Organic Beauty Care and I came across a natural deodorant that really appealed to me.

What is "natural" deodorant and why is it important?
"Natural Deodorants" should not contain aluminum. However, most conventional deodorants on the market do contain aluminum which may be a factor in the development of breast cancer.

The National Cancer Institute says this on the matter:
"Aluminum-based compounds are used as the active ingredient in antiperspirants. These compounds form a temporary plug within the sweat duct that stops the flow of sweat to the skin's surface. Some research suggests that aluminum-based compounds, which are applied frequently and left on the skin near the breast, may be absorbed by the skin and cause estrogen-like (hormonal) effects (3). Because estrogen has the ability to promote the growth of breast cancer cells, some scientists have suggested that the aluminum-based compounds in antiperspirants may contribute to the development of breast cancer (3)...Additional research is also necessary to determine whether these chemicals can either alter the DNA in some cells or cause other breast cell changes that may lead to the development of breast cancer."

I personally desire to play it safe and go a natural route. The Weleda Wild Rose Natural Deodorant I found at Nature's Basin, lets me do just that and smell lovely! This deodorant really smells fantastic. I think it is better than any perfume you could use. My daughter is always sneaking into the bathroom and spritzing it! My husband likes the smell too. And most importantly I know that the essential oils are working to stall the growth of odor-causing bacteria while letting my body naturally release toxins. The easy-to-apply aerosol-free spray contains extracts of rose hip leaf and rose damascena, which contribute a wonderful fragrance and have antiseptic and deodorant properties. I really love staying naturally fresh with Weleda Wild Rose Natural Deodorant and I give this product a huge thumbs up! It is available in a 1 ounce size and a much more economical 3.4 ounce size and it last a long time since you just need a spritz under each arm.

If you love the rose scent as much as I do, Nature's Basin offers a whole line of wild rose organic beauty products or if you prefer they have many other fragrances such as sage or citrus. "Nature's Basin is committed to bringing you the finest natural, organic facial skin care, body, hand and feet care, hair care, shampoos, conditioners, treatments and cosmetics from around the world."
