There's been lots of argument over whether or not deodorant causes breast cancer but lots of popular brands contain parabens. But there are some lovely alternatives.

Neal's Yard do two natural remedies in Lemon & Coriander and Lavender & Aloe Vera. £7.50 for 100 ml at nealsyardremedies.com or you can order by phone - 0845 262 3145.

It's not just Parabens you're avoiding here. Neal's Yard is a wonderful company who never test on animals and all their products are organic and made in Gillingham, Dorset. Over the last 50 years, tens of thousands of new chemicals have been developed. We absorb these chemicals from our food, our toiletries and our environment so surely it's no coincidence that rates of eczema, allergies and cancer have increased?

Neil's Yard do lots of baby products, body scrubs, shampoos and soaps that are all paraben-free and organic. Needless to say I'm a fan!
