Yes, the  natural/crystal deodorants do contain aluminium, but it's aluminium sulfates, not aluminium chlorhydrates,...huge difference between these compounds.

Thank you, I didn't know this, can you develop ?

 

 

Fa sport is aluminium free - available in Big C.

 

Also the Axe and Lynx body sprays are Al free.  No point trying to block pores in the tropics, shower often, use any deo spray and walk slow to avoid a wet shirt.

Aluminium chlorohydrate is an antiperspirant chemical that can clog pours in your skin to prevent sweating.  

Aluminium sulfate, the chemical found in the crystal deodorants, works by inhibiting bacteria growth.  It's not your sweat that creates that unpleasant underarm odor, it's the bacteria that grow in the moist underarm environment, so if you prevent the bacteria from growing, you never have any odor to worry about. 

Also, just because two different chemicals contain that same Element (in the above case, Aluminium) doesn't make them at all similar. Hydrogen Peroxide and water are both made from the elements Hydrogen and Oxygen, but they are quite clearly very different chemicals.

All the same there is no evidence that aluminium and cancer or Alzheimers are related...…………

 

Aluminium chlorohydrate is a group of specific aluminium salts. It is used in cosmetics as an antiperspirant and as a coagulant in water purification.

There is no adequate evidence that exposure to aluminium in antiperspirants leads to progressive dementia and Alzheimer's disease.^[4]

Heather M. Snyder, the senior associate director of medical and scientific relations for the Alzheimer's Association, has stated, "There was a lot of research that looked at the link between Alzheimer's and aluminium, and there hasn't been any definitive evidence to suggest there is a link".^[5]

Breast cancer[edit]

The International Journal of Fertility and Women's Medicine found no evidence that certain chemicals used in underarm cosmetics increase the risk of breast cancer.^[6] Ted S. Gansler, the director of medical content for the American Cancer Society, stated "There is no convincing evidence that antiperspirant or deodorant use increases cancer risk".^[5]

Information really, and the fact that others had mentioned it...……….and it is a topic much discussed!
