Sweating is a healthy and natural detoxification that also helps our bodies regulate temperature. Sweat is a mixture of electrolytes, water, trace elements, and salt. Even though sweat is mostly odorless, it can become an embarrassing problem when the bacteria multiplies and decomposes in these secretions, which can cause body odor. It’s true that there many underarm deodorants out there that will help remedy this issue by helping you keep dry and preventing body odor. However, there are many products that contain aluminum chloride, aluminum zirconium, or aluminum chlorhydrate. Many studies have proven that these ingredients are linked to cancer, particularly breast cancer; neurotoxicity, and host of other ailments. They can also cause skin irritation, itching, and redness.

Since sweat is our body’s natural way of getting rid of toxins, our bodies are not able to do their job efficiently when these ingredients are in present. In return, this causes a build-up of toxic overload over time.

I’m no stranger to Nubian Heritage, but this summer was the first time I have ever used Nubian Heritage’s 24-Hour Aluminum-Free Deodorants. It’s one of the best natural deodorants I have used in a long time! Nubian Heritage’s 24-Hour Aluminum-Free Deodorants are made from pure non-GMO glycols derived from corn and formulated without propylene glycol, silicones, petroleum, parabens, phthalates, and triclosan.

Each deodorant is made with all natural goodness that not only eliminates excessive sweating and body odor, but also smells good! I received the Abyssinian & Chia Seed, Indian Hemp & Haitian Vetiver, and Patchouli & Buriti, which is three out of the seven scents available for the Nubian Heritage 24-Hour Aluminum-Free Deodorants. Nubian Heritage 24-Hour Aluminum-Free Deodorants are also available in Honey & Black Seed, Raw Shea Butter with Frankincense & Myrrh, African Black Soap, and Coconut & Papaya.

Nubian Heritage is the brainchild of two Harlem street vendors. In 1991, fresh out of college, Richelieu Dennis and Nyerma Tubman set out to bring the healing traditions of African Black Soap and Shea Butter to the community they loved. Guided by the legacy of ancient Nubia, the world’s first melting out, Nubian Heritage has combined their knowledge of traditional healing practices, cultural wisdom, and indigenous ingredients to create modern natural solutions for your skin. The brand takes immense pride in their certified organic, and ethically sourced ingredients. They listen to their audience and research rare ingredients, incorporating them into their products in authentic ways, to preserve their efficacy and rich heritage. These cruelty-free deodorants are made with certified organic shea butter, which is ethically sourced from 14 women’s co-ops in Northern Ghana. This is part of the brand’s purpose-driven community commerce business model.

Nubian Heritage is dedicated to alleviating poverty in the communities that compromise its supply chain. They pay a wage that’s premium to the enterprising women of the co-ops. This award-winning beauty brand aids in monitoring practices to ensure the efficiency, health, profitability, and quality of life that is elevated for each member.
