Antiperspirants Vs. Deodorants

Antiperspirants Vs. Deodorants

What’s the difference between an antiperspirant & deodorant?

A deodorant masks odor, whereas an antiperspirant reduces how much you sweat.

Both work equally well. However, the ingredients used are significantly different.

Deodorants are often alcohol based and when applied, turn the skin acidic, which makes it less attractive to bacteria.

Antiperspirants, on the other hand, usually include aluminum-based ingredients that block your sweat pores.

Beautycounter Antiperspirants vs Deodorants

As you may know, the research on aluminum in beauty products has mixed reviews. There is potential that it could have negative health effects, as your skin absorbs around 70% of what you put on it. In addition, there is a concern if your skin absorbs the aluminum, it can affect the estrogen receptors of breast cells potentially causing or increasing the risk of breast cancer. While research doesn’t necessarily support this theory (see links 1 & 2 below) , there are other issues with aluminum in deodorant such as skin irritation → see 3rd link for more information.
