The Greater Green Screen Rating

This score is a ranking based on how natural,
eco-friendly, and non-toxic a product is, and is rated out of a possible total 5 stars.

STARS: 4 out of 5 stars for naturalness
COMMENTS: There have been many studies and implications suggesting that the aluminum salts found in anti-perspirants may be toxic to your health. We know that aluminum itself is toxic, in high enough doses, and there have been numerous studies suggesting a link between build-up of aluminum in the body and Alzheimer's Disease. Other questions remain: Is it bad for developing children? Is there a link bbetween breast cancer and aluminum? Why do warning labels on anti-perspirants warn people whose kidneys aren't functioning properly to consult a doctor before using?

The truth is we have no definitive answers, though the research has convinced me that it is better to err on the side of safety, minimizing my exposure to the potentially harmful effects of aluminum and opting for all-natural herbs instead. This product represents a smart Green Screen choice.

Personal Recommendation

From the Tom's of Maine website, here is a bit of info about this deodorant:

Our improved Long-Lasting Deodorant Stick, now with hops, fights odor three ways to keep you feeling fresh, naturally, all day:

  • Hops inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria. The antimicrobial action of hops inhibits the growth of odor-causing bacteria while reducing the possibility of skin irritation.
  • Zinc ricinoleate binds up odor molecules. Sourced from castor beans, zinc ricinoleate traps and absorbs bad smells
  • Natural fragrance blocks odor. Encapsulating natural fragrance oils with silica shells makes them last longer.


Something Else...

Personally, I use Tom's Honeysuckle Deodorant, but this is a great alternative for those who prefer no scent.
