Creepy New Deodorant Stunts Hair Growth

Women competes in Dove's Most Beautiful Underarm ContestAt a time when many people are starting to question why they slather weird chemicals like Diisopropyl Adipate on their armpits everyday, Unilever is cooking up a new form of deodorant concoction so potent that it actually slows down hair growth. It's called Dove Hair Minimizing, and Dove claims that after four weeks of use hair will become "less noticeable" and "easier to remove." Creepy. What does that mean? Does it alter your genetic makeup? Reverse the puberty process?

Apparently, the stuff is not meant to replace shaving, only to facilitate it. Dove also claims that once you've stopped rolling or spraying on the stuff, your hair growth returns to normal. Honestly, this seems as bizarre to me as Crystal Pepsi. While many companies advertise their personal products as organic or natural, Dove unleashes this unholy goo. It seems like the trend concerning underarms has been swinging in the green direction for some time now. Natural deodorants like Tom's are easier to find than ever. Some A-Listers like Julia Roberts refuse to deodorize at all.

Also according to the Mail, studies have show that clean shaven women view their peers with the earth mama look "as unfriendly, immoral and aggressive."
