How do you combat sweat and odor? By using deodorants and antiperspirants?
While slathering a deodorant every morning has become second nature, at SCO’s we believe that deodorants should be used (like SPF) only when necessary. If you are staying at home or going to bed, then there is little use of using a deodorant. In fact, we believe this is perfect time to go Natural and allow the body to detox – a natural toxic elimination process.
Chemical deodorants contain harmful substances that have toxic effects. Take a couple of minutes to research and understand the ingredients in your deodorant.
Differences between deodorants and antiperspirants
Deodorants keep your underarms smelling fresh. The damp warmth of your armpits is an ideal breeding ground for bacteria. When you sweat, bacteria on the skin digest the fats and proteins causing an unpleasant odor. Deodorants work on these bacteria to prevent unpleasant odors from escaping.
Sweat is a cooling mechanism and your armpits have a higher number of sweat glands than other areas of your body. Antiperspirants reduce underarm sweating by blocking the pores, thus reducing the amount of sweat on the skin’s surface. We believe that blocking pores is disruptive to the natural detoxification process of the body.
Chemical antiperspirants and breast cancer risk
Antiperspirants contain active aluminum-based compounds that block the sweat glands to prevent sweat from reaching your skin’s surface. Experts point out that if your skin absorbs these aluminum compounds, they may affect the estrogen receptors of breast cells.
Long term exposure of these aluminum compounds may cause alterations to DNA that could support cancer development. While a definitive link hasn’t been made yet, there’s some concern that the parabens present in deodorants and antiperspirants may also increase the breast cancer risk.
Aluminum-based antiperspirants mix with sweat and cause awkward yellow stains on clothing. Chemical antiperspirants may kill the beneficial bacteria in your armpits, worse it may increase resistant strains that produce even worse foul-smelling sweat.

Arrowroot powder is potent enough to draw out toxins from your skin. It also serves as a thickener in deodorants to keep the formula stable and effective.
Sage essential oil has a clean, refreshing scent. With a herbaceous, earthy, and mildly nutty scent, it imparts a pleasing fragrance to the skin whilst offering antibacterial, anti inflammatory, anesthetic, and antiseptic properties that help to soothe and neutralize odors.
Likewise, cornstarch is a useful ingredient. It lacks scent and has superb moisture absorbing properties keeping the underarms dry without blocking pores.
