Re: Aluminium and toxic free deodorants

Some of them have already been cited on this thread.

Re: Aluminium and toxic free deodorants

Don't use deodorants just have a bath at the end of the month whether I need it or not.

Re: Aluminium and toxic free deodorants

No I don't see any.

I saw a couple of links to DEORDORANTS by Mups and Ruthio but no examples of ANTI-PERSPIRANTS that do not contain Aluminium or Alum compounds.

Regardless, the deodorants cited by Mups and Ruthio both contain Potassium Alum, which is just yet more "kidology" aimed at duping the easily led.

There are plenty of articles explaining this. There is a good debate/explanation of the different Alums here:

and more views in these links:

The bottom line, regardless, is this. Sweating is a natural bodily process and one that we should NOT attempt to obstruct. It allows the skin to detox. So to my mind the answer is to mask the smell of sweat rather than trying to stop the sweat. Hence we look at deodorants rather than anti-perspirants and of course we need to find deodorants that contain no Aluminium or Alum compounds.

Re: Aluminium and toxic free deodorants

Soft and Gentle do an aluminium free one, I believe.

Re: Aluminium and toxic free deodorants

Nope, just more clever marketing. Ingredients are:

Butane, Cyclopentasiloxane, Propane, Isobutane, Potassium Alum, Dimethicone, Parfum, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Talc, Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Oil, Ethylhexylglycerin, Propylene Carbonate


Good old Potassium Alum in there just like all the other products in the same field.

Is this no good then, Realist?

Re: Aluminium and toxic free deodorants

Nope, as I said above. Those were its ingredients I listed.

Stating something is "Aluminium free" and putting an Alum compound in it is like saying Tomato Sauce has no tomatoes. It's untrue, misleading and nothing but a terminology marketing gimmick.

You don't want any Aluminium OR Alum compound under your armpits imo.

Re: Aluminium and toxic free deodorants

Don't use any of these products, I stink, but, on the positive side, I will live forever.
