Why it’s used: Blocks sweat by plugging sweat glands.
Why it’s harmful: Aluminum can mimic estrogen in the body. According to a 2013 review in Journal of Applied Toxicology, this estrogen-like activity may promote the growth of hormone-sensitive cancers such as breast cancer.
Where it hides: Most “antiperspirants” (vs. deodorants).
Why it’s used: Preservative to stop bacterial growth.
Why it’s harmful: Parabens can bind to estrogen receptors, interfering with natural hormone signaling. A 2004 study in the Journal of Applied Toxicology detected parabens in human breast tissue samples.
Where it hides: Even some “natural” or “aluminum-free” deodorants.
Phthalates(often hidden under “fragrance”)
Why it’s used: Makes scents last longer.
Why it’s harmful: Linked to reduced testosterone in men and boys, and early puberty in girls. A 2010 study in Environmental Health Perspectives found prenatal exposure to phthalates was associated with altered genital development in boys.
Where it hides: Any product listing “fragrance” or “parfum” without full disclosure. content
Triclosan
Why it’s used: Antibacterial agent to reduce odor-causing bacteria.
Why it’s harmful: A known endocrine disruptor that can alter thyroid hormone regulation (Endocrine Reviews, 2017). Thyroid hormones control metabolism, mood, and growth.
Where it hides: Some deodorants, antibacterial soaps, toothpaste.
Synthetic Fragrance Blends(undisclosed mixtures)
Why it’s used: To create a “signature scent.”
Why it’s harmful: Can contain dozens of undisclosed chemicals, many linked to hormone disruption, allergies, and migraines. A 2011 Environmental Health Perspectives study found certain fragrance chemicals act as xenoestrogens — chemicals that mimic estrogen.
Where it hides: Most mainstream deodorants, perfumes, body sprays.
