I was always a drug store brand deodorant user – clinical strength to be honest. I do NOT like to sweat, and when I get nervous, I need something to keep my armpits in check. I didn’t give much thought to the ingredients that the brands I used included. I mean, I knew there was aluminum, but I wasn’t too concerned.
Boy was that a mistake. Did you know that when the aluminum chloride compound included in deodorants mixes with your sweat it creates a gel-like substance that plug your sweat glands? After years of using those deodorants, imagine how plugged those glands are? Where do all the toxins that naturally get flushed from your body during sweat go if the glands are blocked? I was shocked when I started to read more about the effects it can have. There is also growing research showing the link between heightened levels of aluminum and Cancer and Alzheimer’s.
This was enough to make me think twice. I searched and tried many natural deodorants over the years, but always found my way back to the clinical strength brand I used. The natural options just didn’t work for me, and they didn’t always apply well either. Finding a natural deodorant that actually worked felt like an impossible mission.
Then one day, I came across Nala Care on Instagram. The one great thing about social media is being introduced to amazing products that you may not come across in the stores you frequent. I looked up the company online and was blown away with the quality and what their products are free from! So, I gave it a try, and instantly fell in love with how it applied and the scents.
Nala free-from deodorant is free from:
- aluminum – changes your estrogen receptors; linked to liver, kidney and brain issues
- carcinogens – substances that can lead to cancer
- parabens – mimic estrogen in the body; cause cancer
- phthalates – interfere with, mimic or block hormones
- propylene glycol – considered a neurotoxin; known to cause liver and kidney damage
I reached out and was honored to have the Founders (Ada and Mila, a mother-daughter duo) as guests on the podcast because I just had to learn more about their products and company! (Check out Episode 6 of the LOVE Unplugged Podcast below) Their story touched my heart, so much so that I teared up during our chat and had to compose myself to keep the interview going. Their passion for creating something that is good for your health runs deep and it is a story I will never forget.
We got a hint of a new product coming on the episode, and today I am SO thrilled to share Ada and Mila’s announcement – they now offer personalized deodorants! How exciting is that! Their made-to-order formulas now allow you to personalize a deodorant based on your unique need and scent preference! What strength do you need, what scent do you prefer – it’s your choice.
They are the first company in the marketplace to offer the ability to customize both scent and strength – what an amazing accomplishment!
Along with their original 3 formulas, you now have the option of creating a deodorant that is one of the following strengths:
- Sensitive – free of baking soda for those that are sensitive to it
- Regular – has a low percentage of baking soda with the right amount of protection to get you through the day
- Extra Strength – includes the highest percentage of baking soda for those days that need that extra protection
And then there are the scents, which I am SO excited about! Choose the one that speaks most to you:
- Unscented if you prefer to keep it simple
- Eucalystus which promotes relaxation and keeps you feeling refreshed
- Woodsy which will calm and ground you throughout the day
- Citrus to uplift when you need that little boost
This is just another example of how Nala does truly care. They make it so easy to switch to healthier living by offering products to suit all needs. How amazing is that?
I am personally giving Regular Woodsy a try and cannot wait to start using it!
I encourage you to be aware of the ingredients included in the products you use daily and to switch to a natural quality option that is free from harmful ingredients. It’s actually easier than it seems – trust me, I know.
Make sure to check Nala Care out and see which deodorant is right for you. It’s a purchase you won’t regret.
