The search is finally over! After trying just about every natural deodorant available, I was left feeling that wearing a natural deodorant was equivalent to wearing no deodorant at all. I always ended up going back to the toxic traditional deodorants, which is hard when the rest of my skincare routine is almost entirely holistic.
That’s why I was so happy when I was introduced to Agent Nateur's holi(stick) deodorant. Not only is it made with organic ingredients but it really works!! The first time I used it I gave it the ultimate test, an 11 hour flight. I was sure by the end of the flight there would be some sort of unpleasant smell but to my amazement there wasn't.
Agent Nateur is made with organic coconut oil, beeswax, sodium bicarbonate, avocado butter, sunflower butter, castor oil, raw organic honey, eucalyptus and lavender essential oils. Its ingredients are literally good enough to eat! And that's important because applying creams, makeup and deodorant to the skin is really no different from eating them. It only takes 26 seconds for the chemicals in your skincare products to enter your bloodstream. And while studies have shown that the skin has an absorption rate of over 60%, the underarms have a 100% absorption rate.
Traditional deodorants are loaded with toxic chemicals. Over time these chemicals build up in our bodies and end up wreaking havoc on our health. One of the most common ingredients used in deodorant is the heavy metal, aluminum. Aluminum disrupts hormone function and has been linked to breast cancer, prostate cancer and Alzheimers. Propylene glycol is another common ingredient that is extremely dangerous and causes damage to the central nervous system, liver and heart. Parabens, which are often used as a preservative, disrupt hormonal balance, which can eventually lead to hormone related cancers and organ toxicity.
In fact it was these hormone related health issues that led Jena Covello to create Agent Nateur in the first place. Unable to find a natural deodorant that worked, Jena started mixing formulas in her West Hollywood kitchen. The finished product not only fills a niche for natural deodorants that are effective but it also brings a sense of luxury to the organic market. With its super chic packaging, divine fragrance and smooth application, Agent Nateur is changing the way the world views luxury cosmetics.Directions:
A little goes a long way.
Give yourself a month to adjust to the deodorant.
Shave the night before if your skin is sensitive.
Apply to clean skin and reapply as needed.
