What’s inside
Aluminum ChlorohydrateCommonly feared, low concern
An aluminum salt used in antiperspirants to temporarily plug sweat ducts and reduce underarm wetness. Regulatory safety reviews have not found credible evidence linking its cosmetic use to breast cancer or Alzheimer disease.
Full ingredient details →WaterGenerally safe
The base most products are built on. It carries the other ingredients and has no safety concern.
Full ingredient details →PPG-11 Stearyl EtherGenerally safe
A synthetic emollient made from stearyl alcohol and propylene oxide, used to give antiperspirant roll-ons and creams a light, non-greasy glide. Data are thinner than for older emollients, but what exists shows good tolerance, and CIR reviews of related PPG ethers found them safe as used.
Full ingredient details →Steareth-2Commonly feared, low concern
A gentle surfactant derived from stearyl alcohol and ethylene oxide. It is used to stabilize emulsions and is well tolerated in rinse-off and leave-on formulas. Approved for cosmetic use.
Full ingredient details →Steareth-20Commonly feared, low concern
A nonionic emulsifier from the same family as Steareth-2, used to hold oil and water phases together in lotions and roll-on antiperspirants. Well tolerated in rinse-off and leave-on formulas. Approved for cosmetic use.
