Nala Deodorant Review | What is Free-From Deodorant and Why is it Healthier?

Armpit - a lowkey, uninteresting body part where nobody really wants to talk about. Some people even feel embarrassed with their armpit, including me. It seems that society has its own "standard" for this particular area to be worth before we can show or talk about it in public. I guess society doesn't always know the best, huh?

Taking care of your armpit is as important as other body parts. Did you know that your armpits are chock full of lymph nodes? These lymph nodes are actually an important part of your body's immune system and serve to filter toxins out of tissues. They also produce a variety of immune cells known as lymphocytes that fight infection. (source)

That's why it's important to keep underarms healthy, including whatever products you roll on there. I'll just go straight to the point: commercial deodorants are bad for your health, they have multiple nasty chemicals that will unbalance your hormone and even ruin your overall wellness! Sounds scary? There is a lot of research that proves this point, so go ahead google them yourself.

But I get it, nobody wants to smell like cheese or stinky socks after a long day, even feel damp over there is never nice! Since a teenager, I was really embarrassed to talk about my armpits, all of my friends wore sexy clothes and I always didn't feel confident about showing my armpits because they were SMELLY and DARK. That is one of the insecurities I have - now you know.

Well, the good news is, there are already many brands that sell natural deodorants and I found one that surprisingly different from other brands: NALA CARE.

Nala is a Vancouver based brand that provides natural and personalized deodorant, that you can customize from the strength (sensitive, regular, extra) and scent (unscented, citrus, eucalyptus, woodsy).

I've been trying a lot of "natural" deodorants before, and nothing impressed me as much as Nala (I didn't get paid to say this). Those other deodorants were sticky, some are ineffective, my pits were smelly after 1 hour only. All this time I thought it was acceptable because they are "natural", it must have felt different from the chemical ones. But Nala is different and it's beyond my expectation. Let's dive deeper into this sweet sweat-pit rescuer!

Nala offers you a high-quality and free-from deodorant. Free-from means Nala products will always be free from the worst offenders in the cosmetic world. 

The list:

• aluminum: changes your estrogen receptors; linked to liver, kidney, and brain issues
• parabens: mimic estrogen in the body; cause cancer
• propylene glycol: considered a neurotoxin; known to cause liver and kidney damage
• carcinogens: substances that can lead to cancer
• phthalates: interfere with, mimic or block hormones
• cruelty: None of our products will ever be tested on animals.

You guys should give a read of how Nala started here, I can relate with them since I lost my beloved aunt because of cancer, and I miss her all the time.

This makes me more in awe of them, and I support them not only just the good product they sell but also a lifestyle they try to influence.

My overall review, Nala Care free-from deodorant made me feel so confident, I still get sweaty (which is normal) but no more smelly armpit or sticky feeling! When you first trying Nala, probably you will need some time to detox your body from the bad toxins in your previous deodorant. Read more detail about Deodorant Detox.

Seriously, you really should consider checking your deodorant ingredients and pay more attention to your underarms as much as your face. If you're going to try Nala, apply the code GITA20 for 20% OFF storewide (valid until December 31, 2020).

My deodorant scent is the limited edition for Christmas is winter mint, it smells just AMAZING, makes me feel so fresh throughout the day! You better hurry because this scent only available in the Holiday season~

WINTER MINT🌲 - extra strength

Notes of Japanese Peppermint, Spearmint, Lime, Chamomile.
Our special edition Winter Mint free-from deodorant features Japanese peppermint, giving it a high menthol content to keep you smelling and feeling minty fresh. Gentle undertones of lime and chamomile play together for an overall cooling effect. Copaiba Oil adds an element of relaxation with its natural anxiety-reducing properties, the perfect deodorant to get you through this holiday season.

Special guest in this scent
Copaiba Oil: Copaiba Oil's main component is BCP, which is a cannabinoid. It is the same cannabinoid found in CBD, though it is much more concentrated in Copaiba. This means you can evoke feelings of relaxation just from smelling your deodorant. Something that may just come in handy as we approach the holidays and the end of 2020.

Limited edition Winter Mint available on www.nalacare.com from November 16, 2020 - holiday ends.
