Have you ever wondered if aluminum in deodorants is safe?
The topic has been discussed for years and it still sparks debate.
Let’s look at what science actually says and why so many people today prefer aluminum-free alternatives.
What aluminum does in antiperspirants
Aluminum salts block sweat glands to reduce perspiration.
That’s how classic antiperspirants keep you “dry.”
But this mechanism also stops your skin from breathing naturally — and that’s where the concerns begin.
Can aluminum be absorbed through the skin?
Yes, but only in very small amounts.
Studies show that tiny traces of aluminum can enter the body, especially when applied to freshly shaved or irritated skin.
Even so, the levels remain minimal.
What studies have found so far
Some lab tests on human breast cells and animal studies suggest aluminum may interfere with DNA repair or cell growth.
A Swiss study from 2016 even showed tumor formation in mice exposed to aluminum chloride — which led Switzerland to consider restricting aluminum-based deodorants.
However, these studies were not done on humans.
So far, there is no research that proves aluminum antiperspirants cause breast cancer or Alzheimer’s disease.
