In this episode of Heal Thyself, I dive deep into the hidden dangers of deodorants—specifically the presence of PFAS, also known as “forever chemicals.” A recent study by Mamavation (March 2025) revealed that 40% of tested deodorants contained PFAS, with some brands showing shockingly high levels—Little Seed Farm came in at 103 ppm.

I break down which brands passed and failed PFAS testing and explain why this matters—PFAS can be absorbed through the thin skin of the underarm, leading to serious health issues like cancer, infertility, and thyroid dysfunction.

I also share actionable detox strategies you can use right now, including sweating regularly, taking binders, staying hydrated, and supporting your liver.

I strongly recommend avoiding the following brands due to PFAS concerns:

Little Seed Farm, doTERRA, Dr Teal’s, Lume, Hello, Kopari, and Secret.

Instead, here are some safer deodorant alternatives I trust:

Bello Tallow, Primally Pure, Pretty Frank, and Truvani.

Don’t forget to check your product labels for synthetic fragrances, aluminum salts, and other toxic ingredients.
