Our take
Why It’s on Our Radar
We don't recommend the recalled aerosols. An independent lab measured benzene at up to ~9× the federal limit and P&G recalled them — a cautionary listing.
What's inside
Ingredients & Safety
Aluminum chlorohydrate and fragrance driven by hydrocarbon propellants (isobutane/propane) that were the source of the benzene contamination.
Worth a closer look — 3 ingredients we flag:
Aluminum Chlorohydrate — commonly known as Aluminum Compounds
Active ingredient in antiperspirants, blocks sweat glands. Linked to potential health concerns.
Alcohol Denat. — sometimes listed as Denatured Alcohol
Can be drying; used as a solvent and preservative. Concern depends on concentration.
Fragrance — sometimes listed as Parfum
Undisclosed scent blend that is a common allergen and irritant; choose fragrance-free for sensitive or reactive skin.
