"most deodorants on the market today haven’t changed much from the deodorants of my teen life. Most of the antiperspirants still contain harmful chemicals, such as aluminum, parabens, triclosan, talc, propylene glycol and phthalates, all of which are harmful when absorbed through the skin. Humans are designed to perspire; sweating releases toxins from the body. Our lymphatic system is our drainage system. So, doesn’t it seem strange we prevent the body’s natural elimination processes with antiperspirant deoderants?" - http://health.howstuffworks.com/skin-care/underarm-care/tips/deodorant.htm
Common deodorant chemicals:
http://health.howstuffworks.com/skin-care/underarm-care/tips/deodorant1.htm
Aluminum. Scientists are looking at the link between Alzheimer’s disease and aluminum. It could come in the following forms: aluminum chlorohydrate, aluminum zirconium tetrachlorohydrex gly or other aluminum compounds.
Parabens. This group of chemicals is widely used as a preservative in the cosmetic industry. Parabens can mimic the hormone estrogen, which is known to play a role in the development of breasts
Triclosan. Thought to contain carcinogenic contaminants which can be stored in body fat.
Talc. A known carcinogen, irritant, cause of lung asphyxiation and possible link to uterine cancer. On a softer note, it clogs pores and causes acne.
Propylene glycol. A neurotoxin that may cause liver and kidney damage.
Phthalates. Shown to damage the liver, kidneys, lungs and reproductive system in animal studies.
