I want to check if there are really risks to use Alum stone as a deodorant or if it is considered as an antiperspirant

Hello,

Let me check, I will try to look at the data on the subject to give you the right information on the issue!

Hello again,

After checking, there seems to have been a "debate" about the use of Alum stone.

Indeed, just like standard antiperspirants, alum stone also contains aluminum salts. This explains its effectiveness at this level.

However, the most recent data shows that there is no link between the application of aluminum salt as an antiperspirant and breast cancer. This position is also shared by the Canadian Cancer Society.

Thus, I see no danger in its use, any more than with the use of an antiperspirant containing aluminum salt.

I hope that I have answered your question correctly,

Pierre-Luc Tremblay, pharmacist

It will be a pleasure!
