I can't quite figure this one out. I started using it when I developed a reaction to the schmidts stuff and I needed something hypoallergenic. I had been steering away from alluminum prior to that but did some reading and found out it was probably better than many alternative ingredients. This deodorant doesn't break me out or cause a reaction but I do find it somewhat irritating after I put it on until it fully dries which can take a while sometimes (but other times not). I don't know which ingredient is bothering me. It tends to just make me a bit itchy or its noticeable but no actual reaction/rash. I also find I don't need much and its super effective and no smell so no migraine and no rash.
