Question:

Is aluminum in deodorant safe?

Hey I just noticed that my deodorant/antiperspirant has aluminum in it. I remember reading that this is bad for you. My question is, will this be dangerous for my health in the long run?

Answer:

Deodorants do not contain aluminum, only antiperspirants do. The aluminum is used to stop sweating from occurring. There are natural antiperspirants (example Tom's of Main) that claim to stop sweat without the use of aluminum. Aluminum based products have been associated with quite a few health problems: Seizures Breast Cancer Alzheimer's Disease Bone Formation Disorders Kidney Problems Hope this helps.
Yes. Use natural.
