Our take

Why It’s on Our Radar

We don't recommend the recalled aerosol. Benzene led to a recall and a settled class action.

What's inside

Ingredients & Safety

Aluminum chlorohydrate and fragrance in a hydrocarbon-propellant aerosol, the source of the benzene.

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.
