How dangerous is ur Deodorant?? 🤔
Deodorant or antiperspirant is a very personal product. Just about everyone needs it and whether you want to control odor under your arms, for foot odor or feminine hygiene, there are other facts to consider. The store shelves offer you deodorant sprays, gels, sticks, roll-ons or powders. Then there's the issue of aluminum in antiperspirants/deodorants with the Internet buzzing with information concerning it causing cancer and other health risks. For years we've been warned about the risk of aluminum in deodorants. So what's the real story, and can we separate fact from myth? You'll either keep using commercial ones or you'll opt for an aluminum-free, natural deodorant.
What is Antiperspirant?
Although most people refer to antiperspirants and deodorants interchangeably, there is a differece between them.
Antiperspirants control both sweat and body odor. They prevent sweat with aluminum salts dissolving on the surface of the armpit, creating a plug near the top of the sweat glands. Spray and roll-on products usually contain aluminum chlorohydrate for sweat control, while gels and stick antiperspirants use aluminum zirconium.
Deodorants mostly contain antimicrobial agents to prevent only body odor, but not flow of sweat. The main antimicrobial chemicals used are either triclosan or polyhexamethylene biguanide. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) warns that frequent use of antimicrobials may lead to antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria.
Breast Cancer Risk with Antiperspirants/Deodorants
The active aluminum-based ingredient in antiperspirants/deodorants temporarily plugs the sweat glands and that's how it prevents you from perspiring. A few studies reported in cancer.gov suggest that these aluminum-based chemicals are absorbed into the skin, especially if there is a nick from shaving. They propose that the harmful ingredients may increase the risk of breast cancer, since they are applied to the armpit and therefore, absorbed into an area next to the breast.
