So Uncle Shcherbina recently started using an aluminium-free antiperspirant deodorant. Purchased during a recent 50% special, of course.
By way of unsolicited review, I'd say results have thus far been acceptable. But I do feel that, compared to the traditional aluminium-enriched version, I am prone to sweating more in the underarms. While this doesn't result in an offensive stench of body odour, by day's end there is a noticeable but mild bodily aroma.
The presence of aluminium in deodorants has been controversial for some time due to an alleged connection with Alzheimers disease, but I understand such concerns have largely been debunked (based on pretty much zero research I have conducted into the issue).
Does anyone else have experience with these products? Are you fine folks bothered either way by the presence of aluminium? Or still happy using Lynx Africa since year 8?
I think the whole point of aluminium-free deodorant is you still sweat but it doesn't smell or smells less. It's not antiperspirant so won't change how much you sweat. Arguably, sweating is good for your body anyway so masking it is enough (unless you have a medical condition that causes you to swear excessively).
I don't believe there's any studies linking aluminium in antiperspirant to Alzheimer's, breast cancer, etc
