4 Tips about Antiperspirants


There are lots of different antiperspirants out there. This next set of tips will explain a bit what they are and what they do.

What They Do
Most antiperspirants use aluminum salt solutions. When you apply antiperspirant, the aluminum ions are drawn into the cells, and water passes in with them. Eventually, this makes the cells to swell, in turn, squeezing the ducts closed, and that sweat can't get out.

Cancer Myth
A few years ago, there was a myth going around that said that antiperspirants may cause breast cancer. It’s important to know that this is completely unsubstantiated. There is no scientific or medical evidence links antiperspirants to of breast cancer.

Aluminum Chloride
Sometimes antiperperants not only have aluminum, but aluminum chloride hexahydrate. This is a stronger form of aluminum, and is very effective.

Other Metallic Salts
Other metallic salts that work well in antiperspirants are:
• Zirconium
• Indium
• Vanadium
