Have you ever wondered whether aluminum in deodorants is safe?
The topic has been discussed for years and continues to spark interest. Here’s what current research and regulatory bodies generally agree on — and why many people today choose aluminum-free alternatives.
What aluminum does in antiperspirants
Aluminum salts help reduce perspiration by forming a temporary barrier on the skin’s surface.
This limits moisture under the arms, which is why antiperspirants are often used to stay “dry.”
Some people prefer not to block perspiration and instead choose products that allow the skin to function naturally.
Can aluminum be absorbed through the skin?
Small amounts of aluminum may be absorbed, especially if applied to freshly shaved or irritated skin.
However, according to available studies, the quantities absorbed remain low.
What studies have found so far
Research on aluminum is ongoing.
Some laboratory and animal studies have explored how aluminum behaves in cells and biological systems, but:
-
these studies were not conducted on humans,
-
results cannot be directly applied to cosmetic use,
-
current scientific evidence does not establish a causal link between antiperspirants and diseases such as breast cancer or Alzheimer’s.
Regulatory authorities in the EU continue to monitor the topic and allow the use of aluminum salts within established safety limits.
Why many people choose aluminum-free products
Even without confirmed risks, many consumers prefer aluminum-free options because they:
-
want to avoid blocking perspiration,
-
prefer simpler ingredient lists,
-
look for formulas that feel gentle on the skin.
