Does your antiperspirant/deodorant contain aluminum? (light, salts, fashion, natural)

[FreshFresh]

I read that using one with aluminum is risky. What do you use?

[Suburban_Guy]

I use only deodorant, no aluminum.

I find anti perspirants really give me a bad underarm rash.

Certainly they work better at controlling sweat and odours, but some deodorants they have these days work pretty well.

Nothing wrong with it.

No. I use coconut oil for underarm odor control. It works well for me.

No. I use baking soda as a deodorant, but I have heard some people have problems with baking soda on their skin (not me, so far).

I have also heard of people using coconut oil, as Sage 80 mentioned, but I haven't tried it, however, I do use coconut castille soap to wash my skin & hair.

It is really harmful. I use antiperspirant and deodorant based on environment, no aluminium.

[Ginge McFantaPants]

Yes, and I'm not the slightest bit worried. The aluminum salts in deodorant form a plug to block the ducts that release sweat, so very little (if any) may be absorbed into the body. Even then, we are constantly taking in aluminum in greater quantities than what is in a swipe of deodorant, because aluminum is naturally present in food, water, and air... which our bodies are fully-equipped to excrete.

Yes and have been since they came out. I am 73 and in good health.

you use an antiperspirant based on the environment. What the heck does that mean. Do you put bark under your arms?

Yup, a combo of coconut oil and rose water takes care of ALL body odor for me - unbelievable really. No matter how sweaty I get or how much I work out. Coconut oil is naturally anti-bacterial.
