About DEO BY POMA
Human perspiration is largely odorless until it is fermented by bacteries . The human underarm is among the most consistently warm areas on the surface of the human body , and sweat glands provide moisture, which when excreted, has a vital cooling effect .
But few know the health hazards present in the everyday underarm cosmetic. Beyond the synthetic fragrances and toxic ingredients found in most personal care products, antiperspirant and deodorant are loaded with aluminum compounds that have been linked to Alzheimer's disease and brain disorders, respiratory disorders, and possibly cancer.
Many of us think that antiperspirants and deodorants are the same thing . They simply are not .
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE ?
The antiperspirant :
Antiperspirants work by clogging , closing , or blocking the pores with powerful astringents such as Aluminum salts so that they cannot release sweat.
The deodorants :
Deodorants work by neutralizing the smell of the sweat and by antiseptic action against bacteria. Deodorants are preferable because they don’t interfere with sweating .
What is Aluminum?
Aluminum is one of the most common elements in the environment and the world's most common metal. It is used in cans and aluminum foil, as lightweight sheet metal in airplanes and other machinery, in electrical wiring - and in personal care products such as underarm deodorant and antiperspirant. Aluminum oxide, also present in deodorants, is often used as a coating and is the major compound in rubies and sapphires.
Aluminum compounds or aluminum salts, such as aluminum oxide (Al2O3), are key ingredients in almost every antiperspirant . They are powerful astringents that close pores, stopping sweat and odor from escaping the body.
Antiperspirants may leave the outside of the body smelling fresh and clean – but inside, the toxins that would have escaped the body in the sweat are now trapped inside . For this reason, antiperspirants have been linked to problems with the sweat glands and lymph glands in and around the underarms.
Why a natural home made deodorant ?
About 10 years ago I read a report in a magazine about the danger of the industrial deodorants and antiperspirants that freaked me out .
I made some researches to find a natural alternative to keeping myself fresh and odors free .
After trying with more or less luck all that was available in the market , I finally opted for the basic clear stone deodorant for a couple of years . But still, something was missing to make me totally satisfied , it is then that I contemplated to make my own deodorant !
After months of researches , while vacationing in the South of France , I came across a wonderful old recipe of a creme which carefully selected ingredients not only keep me fresh and smelling delicious , but also keep my underarms skin soft and moisturized .
After happily testing the cream on myself for the past 3 years , I wanted to share this cream with my friends and family .
The enthusiasm is such that I thought about extended this goodness to everyone around me .
And it is how DEO by Pascale Poma was born !
Just like before , it is 100% organically and "kitchen" produced by myself .
Why a cream ?
Well , simply because the recipe came like that to me , but I also came up to realize that it is a very convenient and natural way to be in contact with our armpits , everyday . By doing so , we can detect any change , quickly . Could it be that in the quest to finding a natural response to the very ingredients possibly involved in breast and glands cancers as well as Parkinson disease , ingredients massively found in the traditional deodorants , that we also found a way to if not , avoid cancer altogether , find about it at an early stage...
My products are made with a whole lot of love, and the purest ingredients available , hand conditioned in small cute packagings that you can return to me for refills!
Whatever one can do to contribute in a way , or another to a safer , softer , cleaner world , should be done .
