There are all different types of kids deodorants on the market, which makes looking for a safe deodorant for kids that actually works pretty hard to find. Any type of kids deodorant can work for some, but for others, they need a more specialized deodorant with key ingredients that will absorb wetness and neutralize odors, whether it be an all natural deodorant, natural deodorant, or a commercial deodorant. We listed some great types of deodorant that you should find for your kids, tweens, and teens!
Aluminum Free Deodorant
Over the years, more and more new information on aluminum deodorant keeps surfacing, to the point where it’s becoming a better option to try an aluminum free deodorant, especially for kids, tweens, and teens. While there is no conclusive evidence that aluminum deodorants are directly linked to increased risk of breast cancer, it’s always better to be safe than sorry. The American Cancer Society has more information on this topic for those who are interested in reading about the studies and possible findings.
There are many benefits for using aluminum free deodorant, such as keeping your underarm pores clean. Aluminum-based antiperspirants are designed to clog your pores, which might work in theory to stop stink, but who wants to clog pores with toxins on a daily basis? Luckily, aluminum free deodorants never clog pores! Aluminum can also cause skin irritation. And for some, applying aluminum deodorants can cause a burning sensation that is never pleasant for anyone, so making the switch to aluminum free deodorant has helped many!
TBH Kids’s Natural Deodorant is aluminum free and is also free of fragrance, parabens, phthalates, and harsh chemicals.
Charcoal Deodorant
Charcoal has been a trending ingredient in skincare for some time, and there are good reasons! It’s an excellent natural ingredient for clearing out your teen’s pores, but what can it do for your armpits? Charcoal has purifying properties that help absorb sweat and dirt, as well as neutralize odor in the underarm area naturally. It is also gentle enough for sensitive skin types, so if you experience many skin irritations under your arms, try testing a charcoal deodorant!
TBH Kids’s Natural Deodorant contains charcoal, which is why the product’s appearance is very dark. For optimal application, do not immediately apply your natural deodorant as soon as you open it. Instead, place the product against your armpit to warm it up and then start applying for a smoother application. If you apply without warming the product first, it may tug on your skin and cause further irritation.
Baking Soda Deodorant
Baking soda is a popular ingredient in the natural world because it has many useful properties! For instance, baking soda is very effective at absorbing sweat and all types of moisture to keep your underarms dry. It also kills odor causing bacteria effectively.
TBH Kids’s Natural Deodorant also contains a blend of arrowroot powder, coconut oil, charcoal, and witch hazel to neutralize odors and absorb wetness. Coconut oil soothes skin irritation while hydrating skin. Arrowroot powder helps absorb moisture without causing dry skin or irritations. Witch hazel has anti-inflammatory properties that reduce skin irritation.
