This is 100% aluminum chloride which is in most deodorants and many say is not safe for human contact. I'd like to use but am concerned. Thoughts?

I didn't order this from Amazon, but I use this the other day and it is the ONLY thing that helped. I tried about 10 different products, then used this. I followed the directions and put this in my green pool. The next morning all the algae was on the bottom of the pool and the water was clear. I vacuumed to waste and the pool was perfect. I definitely recommend this product.

When I read about the product on Amazon before buying it, from what I remember it had better ingredients than your everyday anti-perspirant. Mainly I think it stated that it was aluminum-free, which is what I was looking for. But, I had to chuckle when I received the bottle and the label and list of ingredients were all in Hebrew! No English translation anywhere. So, unless you or someone you know are fluent in Hebrew, you're out of luck. I've used the deodorant a few times, and although it does keep me dry, it doesn't smell all that great, and worse, my underarms seemed to be kind of itchy, making me think I'm sensitive to some of the ingredients in the formula. So, all in all, it's thumbs-down for me. When I read about the product on Amazon before buying it, from what I remember it had better ingredients than your everyday anti-perspirant.

While I don't see why not safety wise, I would recommend against it. It's very thick and sticky, it does not wash off of hands easily and hair might be worse. If you are trying to use it to get something out I think that'd be fine, it's made for skin and skin has hair on it. I personally wouldn't though

I never had that happen, I have been using for over a year, this works well, one of the few aluminum free deodorants that I have found that actually work well.

It's pure mineral salt, mined straight from the ground. (Potassium Alum is the official name of the mineral.) I've been using it for years and it's been wonderful. I'm allergic to every other deodorant out there, and this works great without any side effects.

The label says that it contains no aluminum, but not specifically alum. I don't see that it contains any salts other than sodium stearate. It wasn't strong enough to prevent odor, so I quit using it.

I would not call it toxic. Its more of a strong plastic/chlorine smell. Not offensive, just different.

The Product Photo is for Dove Men + Care Antiperspirant/Deodorant. The active ingredient is: "Aluminum Zirconium Tetrachlorohydrex", which is an antiperspirant. There is also a fragrance which acts as the deodorant. Boom!

I haven't switched because Alvera is the only thing that works consistently for me. I have used Naturally Fresh Deodorant Crystal(TM) - their roll-on - by TCCD International with some success. It says specifically "No Aluminum Chlorohydrate" on the bottle.

I'm not sure about scientifically but I use about 40 drops of lavender in a batch of deodorant which fills all of these containers plus extra leftovers. I've never noticed an issue and I've been using them for about 6 months, washing the container thoroughly after I empty one. If you're concerned you could just store your homemade deodorant in an airtight glass container and apply with your fingers.

I just saw it about ten down, third from the last. I got this because I was looking for something without aluminum. But I am glad I saw this question because in looking for this, I saw it has Triclosan which can affect the thyroid. Triclosan is in over 90% of the antibiotic hand washing liquid. I bought so much of the Arm & Hammer. Guess I will look for something safer. When will we become a government of the people, by the people and for the people instead of the corporations.

Product is all natural with no fragrance or paraben. It's also Hypoallergenic. It has NO Aluminum Chlorohydrate, like my last deodorant (which I detected coming from and affecting other organs in my body). It's recommended by the American Breast Cancer Society as all natural mineral salts. I just love it.

So this is an anti-caking agent. I have a face cream with this ingredient in it and I freaked when I saw it. But I did some research and found that it's actually pretty safe. I know the name looks scary. I love EWG's Skin Deep Cosmetic Database to look up products and ingredients that I'm concerned about. Here's the info on magnesium aluminum silicate:http://www.ewg.org/skindeep/ingredient/703679/MAGNESIUM_ALUMINUM_SILICATE/Also this whole product scored really well for safety, too. (Low numbers are GOOD! High number as Bad) This belly butter is a 2. It's a good one.http://www.ewg.org/skindeep/product/596295/Burt%27s_Bees_Mama_Bee_Belly_Butter/ So this is an anti-caking agent.

No way. It is a mild product. I have sensitive skin and have never had a reaction to this product.

I believe so. Though I would not reuse deodorant container with the exception for myself. I haven't done it but they do screw up and down

Wow, Teri I never knew... I used this because it's better than antiperspirants and all the deodorants/crap you find at walmart... I will look for something without it for sure. Thanks buddy I would have never known! Thank you! Below is what research I just found... disturbing... Reduced heart function by 25% endocrine disruption (bad for the skeletal system) Triclosan is clearly listed on product ingredient labels, so you can easily check to see if it's there before deciding on a purchase. This chemical is not only in soaps but also body washes, toothpaste, shampoo, and other personal care and home products.

My bottle just mentions being a deodorant. Maybe you should ask the manufacturer.
