Zero aluminum. We do not plug your sweat glands shut. We kill the bacteria that cause the smell and let your body do the thing bodies are supposed to do.
Antiperspirant uses aluminum to block you from sweating. Deodorant lets you sweat like a human and handles the odor. We make deodorant. On purpose.
That is the adjustment period, and it is completely normal. Aluminum antiperspirants plug your sweat glands shut, sometimes for years. When you quit, your body starts sweating freely again and the bacteria on your skin rebalance, so for the first week or two you might sweat more and smell stronger than you expect. People call it the armpit detox. Push through it. Give it about two weeks and your pits level out. That is your body getting back to normal, not the deodorant failing.
Magnesium oxide is the workhorse in ours. It neutralizes odor without clogging your pores or shutting your skin down the way aluminum does. Safe, simple, and it works.

Dermatologists may suggest aluminum-free options for patients who experience contact dermatitis or irritation from aluminum-based antiperspirants, or for those who simply wish to avoid aluminum as a personal preference. They also recommend it for individuals with hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) who have received treatments like Botox, where blocking sweat with aluminum is no longer necessary or desired.
