Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Aluminum Chlorohydrate has astringent, deodorant, antiperspirant, and water purifying properties.
Due to its astringent properties, this ingredient may be drying.
Aluminum chlorohydrate is one of the most common active ingredients found in antiperspirants. It works by temporarily blocking sweat ducts, reducing the amount of sweat that reaches the surface of the skin.
Despite its long history of use, rumors and misconceptions about aluminum chlorohydrate persist.
Scientific consensus and major health organizations have repeatedly concluded that aluminum chlorohydrate, when used as directed in cosmetic products like antiperspirants, is safe.
The persistent rumors connecting aluminum chlorohydrate to cancer, Alzheimerâs disease, or âtoxin buildupâ are not supported by credible evidence.
If youâre comfortable with aluminum-based antiperspirants, there is no scientifically backed reason to fear them.
If you prefer to avoid them, plenty of aluminum-free options exist - but that choice usually comes down to personal preference rather than proven health risks.

C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate is made up of Benzoic Acid and long chain alcohols. It has a low molecular weight.
C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate is an emollient and texture enhancer. Due to its solubility, it is often used in sunscreens to help evenly distribute active ingredients.
As an emollient, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate helps soften and hydrate your skin. Emollients create a film on your skin that traps moisture within.
This ingredient has been reported to cause eye irritation.

Their cyclic or circular structure decreases stability. This causes quick evaporation when applied to skin. Cyclomethicones are often used as a carrier for other ingredients. Once it evaporates, it leaves a silky barrier on the skin.
The most popular types of cyclomethicones include D5 and D6.

It is not intended to interact with skin in a meaningful way as it evaporates almost immediately after dispensing and only leaving behind the actual product formula.
If it does somehow make it onto your skin, it is chemically inert and does not penetrate or get absorbed into skin. Safety assessments note that adverse skin reactions to this ingredient are uncommon.
Learn more about IsobutanePropane is a gas derived from petroleum and natural gas. In cosmetics, its only used as an aerosol propellant (it pushes your product out of the can when you press the nozzle).
That's why you'll find it in hair sprays, dry shampoos, deodorants, mousses, shaving foams, and sunscreen sprays.
It is volatile, meaning it only remains on skin for less than 10 seconds before evaporating. It doesn't really linger long enough on skin to act as a skincare ingredient in any meaningful way.
Hairspray concentrations are between 6-17%.
The CIR Expert Panel concluded it to be safe as a cosmetic ingredient under present concentration and usage.
