Zion Health deodorant uses clay instead of aluminum

A shout-out to a lovely natural and aluminum-free deodorant by Zion Health:  Adama Clay Dry Deodorant in "Original Silk" 

Adama Clay Dry Deodorant - aluminum and paraben free!

Zion Health is a natural cosmetics brand that produces a few different lines of products, including toothpaste (which is wonderful – click here for a previous review of Zion Health’s Clay Bright Toothpaste), body care, hair care and facial care products. All of Zion Health’s products include clay in the ingredients, which is a seemingly miraculous ingredient with oh-so-many health benefits!

Being a huge advocate for natural deodorant use, I wanted to mention Zion Health’s wonderfulAdama Clay Dry Deodorant. This deodorant, in the "Original Silk" scent, is aluminum-free, paraben-free and contains no propylene glycol. Just check out this lovely, short list of ingredients in this deodorant:

Montmorillonite Clay (Kanwa), Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Calendula Extract, Alpine Lichen Extract, Grapefruit Seed Extract, Chamomile Extract, Cellulose Gum, Myrrh Gum Extract, Witch Hazel Distillate, Propanediol (Corn Derivative), Sodium Stearate, Yuzu Citrus Essential Oil Natural Fragrance, Purified Water.

The Yuzu citrus essential oil, that dominates the scent profile of this deodorant, is derived from a Chinese evergreen tree. This essential oil is not only super refreshing and sweet, but it’s also extremely delicate (great for those sensitive to strong smells) and has the added benefits of calming nerves and anxiety. I personally love how the formula of this deodorant glides on. It reminds me a little bit of Tom’s of Maine Deodorant, but Adama Clay Dry Deodorant is less sticky than Tom’s. Both are equally effective. I did find that this deodorant needs to be re-applied after any strenuous activity or on a hot day – but this is not an issue for me, since basically all natural deodorants sometimes need an extra swatch throughout the day! And I would rather do that than ever put aluminum-based products under my arms again!
