Deodorant Cream
No Crystals. No Pot Pourrie. Definitely No Aluminium.
Some believe it as a "myth". Therefore we have published some studies below so you can make up your own mind.
Further research will make the situation clearer. We created a deodorant that is so safe and works. It creates an alkaline skin environment that prevents odour causing bacteria. Perspiration is cool, smelling isn't.
We don't use a lot of essential oils as not everyone wants to walk around smelling like Pot Pourrie.
(Note: As usual we have put '"way too much information for most people. If you just want to order our Deodorant Cream, scroll to the bottom of the page.)
Hi guys
"Just wanted to say a big THANK YOU for making an aluminium-free deodorant that actually works!! I have tried numerous aluminium-free deodorants in the past and the most that I could go was 2 days before I was back onto my regular anti-perspirant. I have been using your deodorant for 2 weeks now and am even more satisfied with it than with my anti-perspirant. You must never change this product!
Cheers, Christine, Newcastle"
Who to Believe?
There is no scientific evidence that the risk of developing breast cancer increases if you use antiperspirants.
The data from this study are consistent with the hypothesis that the degree of antiperspirant/deodorant usage and auxillary shaving is associated with an earlier age of breast cancer diagnosis.

An Earlier Age of Breast Cancer Diagnosis Related to More Frequent Use of Antiperspirants/Deodorants and Underarm Shaving.

Stupid Studies
There is no basis for the myth that applying deodorant or antiperspirant after shaving will increase the risk of cancer, as demonstrated by the 2002 study mentioned above. (click for 2002 study link here) The American Cancer Society (ACS) states that the main risk related to using these products is that they can cause skin irritation if a razor nick or cut is infected.
Clinical studies dating back decades report a disproportionately high number of female breast cancers originating in the upper outer quadrant of the breast and although this is attributed to a greater amount of epithelial tissue in that region, it is also the area to which underarm cosmetic products are applied. Early studies reported 31% of cancers in the upper outer quadrant, but later studies in the 1990s report up to 61%. Although individual chemicals will have been tested by current safety guidelines, the effects of long-term usage of mixtures of these chemicals over an entire lifetime by people of all ages across the whole world warrants retrospective
investigation.

The suggestion that ingredients such as aluminium and zirconium salts might damage cell DNA is sometimes raised in newspaper articles, but there is no evidence that they accumulate in the breast tissue, or that they can affect human DNA.
Convinced?
We have confirmed the presence of aluminium in breast tissue and its possible regional distribution within the breast. Higher content of aluminium in the outer breast might be explained by this region's closer proximity to the underarm where the highest density of application of antiperspirant could be assumed. There is evidence that skin is permeable to aluminium when applied as antiperspirant. However, we have no direct evidence that the aluminium measured in these breast biopsies originated from antiperspirant ... we should not neglect the possibility that aluminium in breast tissue might contribute towards breast cancer.

Aluminium as a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease.
(Note: Aluminium can be ingested from many sources other than deodorant)
While we understand why you might be concerned about the myth that aluminium — which is found in small amounts in many common, everyday items such as pots and pans, antiperspirants and even potatoes — can cause Alzheimer's disease, there is no credible scientific evidence that supports this urban myth. In fact, the Alzheimer's Association addresses this topic on the 'Alzheimer Myths' page of its Web site. This myth first surfaced when a study conducted in 1965 showed small concentrations of aluminum in the brains of some Alzheimer's patients. Scientists, however, have never been able to replicate the findings of this study despite several decades of research.
Sounds like...
The purpose of the study was to condense existing scientific evidence about the relation between Aluminium exposure and risk for the development of Alzheimer's Disease, evaluating its long-term effects on the population's health. A systematic literature review was carried out in two databases, MEDLINE and LILACS, between 1990 and 2005... Results showed that aluminium is associated to several neurophysiologic processes that are responsible for the characteristic degeneration of AD. In spite of existing polemics all over the world about the role of aluminium as a risk factor for Alzheimer's Disease, scientific evidence has demonstrated that aluminium is associated with the development of Alzheimer's Disease.

Getting in the road of a good marketing story
During the 1960s and 1970s, aluminium emerged as a possible suspect in Alzheimer's. This suspicion led to concern about exposure to aluminum through everyday sources such as pots and pans, beverage cans, antacids and antiperspirants. Since then, studies have failed to confirm any role for aluminium in causing Alzheimer's. Experts today focus on other areas of research, and few believe that everyday sources of aluminium pose any threat.
(Note: The following is a large study looking at aluminium specifically in drinking water but is relevant in comparison to the statement made above.)
A total of 1,925 subjects who were free of dementia at baseline and had reliable water assessment data were analyzed. Using random-effects models, the authors found that cognitive decline with time was greater in subjects with a higher daily intake of aluminium from drinking water (≥ 0.1 mg/day, P = 0.005) or higher geographic exposure to aluminium. Using a Cox model, a high daily intake of aluminium was significantly associated with increased risk of dementia.

It has proved extremely difficult to devise studies to resolve this problem one way or another. Alzheimer's is a common disease with multiple causes, while aluminium is widespread in the environment, and there are no methods that allow us to measure an individual's 'body burden' or lifetime exposure to this element.
Conclusion
At best, it would seem the scientific jury is still very much out on whether Aluminium deodorant may cause health problems. Our deodorant is for people who don't want to take the chance.
How Our Deodorant Works
We use healthy ingredients that have all been used in food supplements. It works by creating an alkaline local skin environment that prevents odour causing bacteria.
Ingredients: Purified Water, Witch Hazel, Magnesium Hydroxide (Magnesium Mineral Supplement), Xantham Gum, Lemon Myrtle Essential Oil. Preservative free.
Directions
Roll on sufficient deodorant to thoroughly dampen the skin. Everyone is different but for most people, one application a day is usually enough unless going to the gym or doing other strenuous activities. Can be reapplied if required. Enjoy!
Some feedback - I decided to try your deodorant I've only used the supermarket al-free deodorants which I found terrible and so never made the switch. I'm so glad I tried yours ... It has shocked me it is so effective! Thank you for another quality product!

Well as promised here is my feedback on the Deodorant Cream.
Pluses: It smells great and it works efficiently. I've had no bad reaction to it (I have multiple skin problems) and I'm going to keep on using it for as long as you make it.
Minus: Although I like the Lemon Myrtle scent I know a lot of your customers prefer fragrance free so it might pay to see if you can lower the scent concentration a little bit and (just being picky) my husband was confused by the name, he thought that it was an actual cream that you had to rub on, so the name 'Deodorant Cream' is a little deceptive. (Our Note: It does have the consistency of a cream in the bottle, but the applicator spreads a thin film like normal deodorant).
All in all, I'd give it a 9 out of 10.
Hope this helps
Regards, Jeannine

Cows Don't Need Gimmicks.
They Want Healthy Udders!
MooGoo was first made when the founder adapted a cream used in dairy farms to help a family member with a skin problem. The dairy version of "udder cream" was designed to heal the cow's udders and keep them in good condition for milking. It was full of skin repair ingredients and no gimmicks.
