The use of hemp products in deodorants is probably going to be different to society’s current perception of the product. To clarify, hemp as a deodorant today is different in its function and effectiveness in comparison to the traditional deodorants available today. Such as:
1. Aerosol spray ons
2. Roll on packs
I’m being frank here, spray cans and roll ons are products a large number of us either rely on (or have relied on) because they help mask our body odour effectively for a short period of the day. Even moreso, when you use roll on products, they can get gritty and gross, causing itches to the underarm. Then, your body sweats and it mixes with the chemicals to create an interestingly unsatisfactory smell. Similar to rotten sandwiches masked by air freshener?
Generically speaking, many deodorant products are developed to be mostly applicable to the underarm (and pubic) areas, but not many people have stopped to consider the most important fact:
1. Your body odour occurs to be the most dominant scent omitted by all pores of your skin and that means a very effective deodorant should be applicable to the entire body’s skin organ. It is the largest organ in the body (huge surface area)! A bad smell in a specific area can be compensated for by the rest.
So here are a few tips to take up on from the perspective of a hemp enthusiast:
a) Eat a well balanced diet, limiting the number of saturated and animals fats you intake and moderating your alcohol consumption (especially beer).
b) Check out hemp deodorising products which are generally applicable to your whole body. That means, it is not pH sensitive when it touches your skin. Hemp seed oil nourishes your skin, and with a non-harmful good smelling scent, you are getting the best from both worlds really. Usually pure hemp products hold a less off-putting effect when mixed with perspiration.
c) Choose a good smelling fabric softener for your clothes and that way you do not necessarily have to use a skin based remedy (depending on your preference of course).
d) Exercise regularly throughout the week and it helps regulate the toxins in your body and you’ll also “look like you smell better”.
In general, I am of the belief that there are many Alternative Solutions out there which offer the functionality of a deodorant and more (I.e. keeping a healthy smell) without having to trade off on the well-being of your skin. This is as easy as shifting the perception that you only have to address the pubic areas of your body. Think creatively, and with a little bit of research to understand what your ideal deodorant is, and see how the properties of hemp seed oil as a primary ingredient in hemp deodorant may be best for you.
