Get Your Sweat On
Getting your “sweat on” has its benefits, and it isn’t something we should be stopping with aluminium filled antiperspirants. These are just some of the good things that sweating does for your body:
- Cooling you down & preventing overheating
- May help to expel toxins such as BPA, phthalates & heavy metals
- Kills bacteria & viruses than can’t live in temperatures above 37C
- Keeps pores clear
- Reduces your chance of kidney stones
- May help to fight skin infections
So why stop it when you can sweat without the fear of stinky-ness?
Deodorants vs Antiperspirants
Deodorants and Antiperspirants are not the same thing.
Antiperspirants use aluminium salts to either block, close or clog your pores to prevent you from sweating. In Australia they are classed and regulated as therapeutic goods because they alter your body’s normal function.
Deodorants don’t interfere with your pores or glands. They still let you sweat. Deodorants work by creating an environment on your skin that prevents bacteria from having a wild party stinking up the joint.
The problem with aluminium salts
Aluminium chloride, aluminium zirconium, aluminium chlorohydrate and aluminium hydroxybromide are all commonly used in antiperspirants. Aluminium is not normally found in your body so a big red flag is raised when researchers find it in our tissue. It shows that our body absorbs aluminium.
Aluminium is a neurotoxin and it has links to some serious health concerns. The jury is still out on this research, but we'd rather be safe than sorry. Aluminium has also been found to disrupt your endocrine system by mimicking the hormone estrogen, which is more cause for concern. It’s also the culprit for staining your clothes yellow!
The problem with bicarb soda in deodorants
Bicarb is amazing at stopping dreaded body odour, but too much leaves you with red, itchy armpits.
The reason bicarb soda can be such a problem is because of its very high pH, meaning it's very alkaline. Your skin is slightly acidic with a pH of about 5, so no wonder bicarb can irritate - it's upsetting your skin's pH balance, which means it loses its protective barrier.
Woohoo Urban is pH-adjusted which means that even though they've used bicarb soda in the formula it's still gentle enough for sensitive skin. If you're SUPER DUPER sensitive you might prefer to wear bicarb free Woohoo Mellow, but we've heard from LOTS of people that they can't wear deodorant from other brands but that Woohoo Urban has changed their life. No exaggeration!

How to use
Use a pea sized amount of deodorant & warm it in your fingertips. Rub it under your arm until it disappears (just like you would a moisturiser).
P.S. If you’re used to using an antiperspirant, please remember that this isn’t one! It can take a couple of weeks for your body to adjust to this type of deodorant but it’s worth the wait!
