This was highly educational! As always. 🙂

I would like to know as well if the aluminum is absorbed ( I read somewhere that 0,012% is absorbed?), if it accumulates in the body and if there’s a link with Alzheimer.

And also, the same regarding potassium alum. Some way it’s too big to be absorbed, but then in water it turns into ions and ions can be absorbed, but wait they’re negative ions and those are not absorbed. Confusing, ugh.

What sellers say is that it doesn’t form plugs, but only kills bacteria. Is that true?

Maybe food for another blogpost? 🙂

In reply to Raras.

Thank you! I haven’t tried any yet unfortunately or fortunately – I have that Asian gene where I don’t get much underarm odour, so I only really use antiperspirant and only aluminium salts really do that…

I have very sensitive skin, especially in my armpit area, and find that deodorants that contain aluminium salts, denatured alcohol or even stuff like zinc tend to really irritate my armpits. Like, ten minutes after I’ve applied an antiperspirant, it would get really start to heat up and sting and feel really itchy, and results in hyperpigmentation of my armpit area. I would really love to know if you’ve tried any natural deodorants, and which one would you recommend? Love your blog by the way!

Very informative post! I've never really known how antiperspirants work, but now I do haha! I'll definitely be more educated when I go out to repurchase a deodorant.

Fantastic post! I’ve never heard any claims that there may be a link between breast cancer and deodorant, so I’ll give that link a read, sounds interesting. I struggled to find an antiperspirant that actually worked for me for so long, the Rexona and Dove versions of this one have been my saviors 🙂
