Deodorant Stone

The deodorant stone is an all natural deodorant that is 100% safe and effective.

Conventional deodorants/anti-perspirants contain aluminium. This aluminium may be a contributing factor to breast cancer.

A link has been found between aluminium in deodorants and cancer, according to British scientists.

Tests found that women who used deodorants had deposits of aluminium in their outer breasts. The samples were taken from women who had undergone a mastectomy for breast cancer.

Aluminium is not normally found in the human body and scientists are reasonably convinced the presence of the metal means it is being absorbed from anti-perspirant sprays or roll ons. Most deodorants contain aluminium salts, because the metal is effective at stopping skin sweating.

Dr Exley’s study received funding from Genesis, a UK charity dedicated to preventing breast cancer. A report into his findings is to be published in the November issue of the Journal of Inorganic Biochemistry.

Dr Exley said: “Aluminium is known to cause cancer in animal models. We need to make sure aluminium in antiperspirants isn’t contributing to breast cancer.”

Dr Exley said manufacturers used aluminium in deodorants because it was very effective in preventing sweating.

Conventional deodorants/anti-perspirants interfere with your bodies natural processes and that is never a good idea.

WHAT IS ALUMINIUM CHLOROHYDRATE?

Aluminium Chlorohydrate, also known as aluminium chloride, is a synthetic organic chemical that is topically used under the arms as a deodorant. Aluminium Chloride (AlCl3 H2O2) is used as a topical antiperspirant or body deodorant, which acts by constricting the pores of the skin. It is one of several aluminium salts employed by the cosmetics industry. Aluminium Chloride is also known as hydrated Aluminium Chloride.

Aluminium Chlorohydrate is a chemically active form of chlorine which is emulsified enabling it to plug and close underarm pores. When this compound comes into contact with organic matter (e.g. skin tissue) the chlorine attacks and breaks down chemically.
TOXICOLOGY
Anhydrous aluminium chloride has a corrosive and errant effect on the skin, respiratory tract and eyes. The toxic affect is caused by the evolution of hydrochloric acid when the product is exposed to moist air. The resulting respiratory difficulties vary from mild irritation to coughing.

Is that a good enough reason to stop using conventional deodorant?

Need another?

Average annual costs for deodorant run at around $50 per person, yet you can be odour free for only $5 per year.

Wouldn’t you prefer to use a product that is safe?

Don’t you want to be sure that you aren’t giving your teenage children a potentially harmful product to use?

Deodorant Stone

Be unconventional for a change and start using a deodorant stone.

Deodorant Stones are crystals of natural mineral salts which actually inhibit the growth of odour forming bacteria on your body.

Deodorant stones don’t cover up body odor, they actually stop it forming in the first place.

Deodorant stones contain no Aluminium Chlorohydrate.

Deoderant stones are non sticky, non greasy and they won’t stain your clothes.

Deodorant stones are 100% effective and safe.

To use a deodorant stone all you need to do is wet it and then rub it on to your skin. Rinse the stone afterwards and leave it to dry.

Make sure that you don’t leave the deodorant stone sitting in water (in a soap dish for example) as this will cause it to dissolve and it will need to be replaced more quickly.

With normal use you should expect to get at least one years use from each stone.
