Antiperspirant tends to be the stuff that contains concerning heavy metals. You’re supposed to be able to sweat, it’s just the stinky part that sucks haha.
Aluminum oxide is the primary active ingredient to most anti-perspirants. It may cause skin irritation in some people, but the perceived health risks are unfounded.
Anti-perspirants also ruin clothes. I guess the aluminum causes that? Either way it’s annoying to use. Killing the sweat bacteria with booze instead and having a nice fragrance on top of it works fine.
Oh I still sweat. So don’t worry about that. Using deodorant I can still smell like a boar pen within an hour after use. Even if I’m just sitting at a desk with my eyes closed.
You want me to use all the heavy metal antiperspirant I got.
Almost every antiperspirant has an aluminum compound in it that make me red, swollen, and itchy. I can only use alum free deodorant, as antipersepeants genuinely cause me pain after a few days of use. The weird thing is I don’t even have sensitive skin, no allergies, and I regularly get all manner of metal shavings and various carcinogenic chemicals on me (gas, diesel, parts cleaner, ATF, gear oil I could go on) and don’t have any issues with eczema or anything but the antiperspirant sticks will fuck my week up. Ymmv but if u find a speed stick makes u itchy or uncomfortable see if it has alum, and if it does switch to without.
You want to mask the smell instead of not having a smell? 🤨
