Aluminum Chloride Antiperspirant
I have thoroughly researched this, as I have been wanting the same thing and was going to post this exact question myself. After A LOT of research, I have learned that aluminum and all aluminum based chemicals in antiperspirants are what keeps us from sweating. Therefore, they all have it, it is just a matter of what percentage. I found a posting by Dt. Stephen Z. Fadem, MD, FACP. He is a member of the AAKP Medical Advisory Board. He claims the the FDA came to a conclusion that aluminum is safe when used according to the directions. I have my doubts on this. The American Cancer Association found inconclusive evidence that the aluminum in antiperspirants is related to breast cancer. I am frustrated by this as well as I need antiperspirants too. However, I learned that if you switch to just a deodorant, your armpits still sweat, (as this is a natural way for your body to get rid of toxins, but gross), but not as much. I have also learned that if you don't allow your body to get rid of the toxins in this manner, some toxins are stored in a gland near your breasts and this one of the ways that many people believe you get breast cancer. There are several other places that your body sweats out toxins as well, including behind your knees. Sorry I couldn't be more help, but unfortunately, there is no such thing.
