Skin Care Product of the Month: Oak Essentials Microbiome Balancing Deodorant

One thing I have had trouble with over the years is finding a deodorant that was not irritating to my skin and one that did not have a harsh medicinal or chemical smell. I recently discovered Oak Essential’s Microbiome Balancing Deodorant, and I absolutely love it.
This deodorant is a clean deodorant, and it works differently than traditional deodorants. Traditional deodorants (antiperspirants) use aluminum salts such as aluminum zirconium or aluminum chlorohydrate which literally plug up your sweat glands and prevent perspiration.
These ingredients do stop you from sweating, but they also can interfere with your body’s own ability to regulate temperature and expel toxins. Clean deodorants work to neutralize odors, often using plant-based ingredients that support your own body’s own natural detox process.
This allows your skin and its microbiome to function optimally. If you would like to learn more about Oak Essentials Microbiome Balancing Deodorant check out this link to their website:
