In an effort to greenify our beauty routine, we ditched the so-called “clinical” antiperspirant we once swore by.
No, it’s not the first time we’ve tried to quit the supremely effective drugstore deo habit, but the natural counterparts we tried proved ineffective. Then, on a whim, we added Consonant Dealkalizing Deodorant ($14) to a recent Sephora haul and it changed everything. The official science-y explanation goes as follows: “Odour-causing bacteria flourish in an alkaline environment, so we formulated Consonant Dealkalizing Deodorant to bring the pH of your skin to 4.5-5 to inhibit body odour for 24 hours.” While this sounds good on paper—er, screen—the proof lies in the fact that we haven’t reached for our old faithful in over a few weeks … and our hubby swears we don’t stink! Does it glide on smoothly and smell like coconuts? No, but that’s a small price to pay for an au naturel alternative to one of the most chemical-laden products in our beauty routine.
Consider us Consonant converts. —Christine Laroche
