Are there any antiperspirants that dont have aluminium in them. Not a deodorant.

I think I get quite itchy with normal anti perspirants, my skin feels a bit odd.

I was also concerned about deodorant with aluminium in them and don't like spray can ones, found this one some years ago and have been using it since...slightly fragrant, never smell even if working up a sweat and long lasting.

Was a time I could only buy it from Superdrug but think Tesco and Waitrose also sell it now.

I would recommend Akt and Megababe Happy pits. Glycolic acid is always suggested, but it irritates me.

Thanks, the problem with these is they are deodorants and I want an antiperspirant. I dont know if aluminium free antiperspirants exist?

Hi OP. Aluminium free antiperspirants don’t exist. Only deodorants, and as you say they aren’t the same.

I get itchy if I apply antiperspirants or soap onto recently shaved armpits. I think the razor creates little cuts that then react.

However I've found that I don't need antiperspirants or deodorant if I wash my armpits thoroughly with soap and hot water daily (before shaving). It has to be proper bar soap, not shower gel.

I shower everyday with soap so its not my washing thats an issue

I dont particularly sweat a lot to be honest but want an antiperspirant so looks like I will have to put up with the aluminium.
