Deodorant & Antiperspirant
Products applied to underarms to prevent body odor and reduce sweating. Antiperspirants block sweat glands while deodorants neutralize odor. Applied to thin, sensitive skin near lymph nodes.
Why It Matters
Applied daily to sensitive skin that's often freshly shaved. Ingredients can be absorbed through skin. Aluminum in antiperspirants is debated for health effects.
