ℹ️General Overview

For adults: this ingredient is commonly used in antiperspirants and is generally considered low risk when you use it as directed. The biggest issues are skin irritation and that some agencies place limits on its use.

What to Do

Use products with this ingredient only as directed (typically small amounts to the underarm). Do a small patch test on normal skin before regular use. Do not put it on broken, chapped, or irritated skin. If you notice redness, itching, swelling, or a rash, stop using the product and see a doctor. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding and worried, talk with your healthcare provider about alternatives.

⚠️Warnings

Avoid using on broken skin and watch for signs of contact allergy (redness, itching, blistering). Some regulatory bodies have usage restrictions (see Health Canada and cosmetic ingredient restriction lists). There are a few studies with limited or mixed findings related to cancer and some animal studies at high doses; these are reasons some groups restrict or limit its use.

Safety Risk Labels

This ingredient has the following documented risks:

Banned: This ingredient is limited or restricted on official cosmetic ingredient lists and by national regulators. Health Canada and international lists note limits or restrictions on its use, and some third‑party product verification programs do not allow it in verified products without extra safety proof. That means some countries or programs treat it as restricted or effectively banned in certain products.
Absorbed: Safety notes for this ingredient report enhanced skin absorption when applied topically. That means some of it can pass through the skin and enter the body. For babies and young children, who have thinner skin and higher exposure for their size, this is a relevant concern.
