The 16 Best Aluminum-Free Deodorants for All-Day Freshness
Keep your underarms happy with these top-rated favorites
When comparing antiperspirants to some of the best aluminum-free deodorants, experts say there’s one clear difference.
“Deodorants don’t prevent wetness, they limit odor,” board-certified dermatologist Hadley King tells Bazaar. “Antiperspirants contain aluminum chlorohydrate or aluminum zirconium or aluminum chloride, which act by blocking the eccrine (sweat) glands and preventing wetness.” Odor reduction aside, many people opt to use more natural deodorants because they believe these options contain safer formulas.
