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, Alzheimer’s disease, or “toxin buildup” are not supported by credible evidence.
If you’re 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.

As an antioxidant, it helps your body fight off free-radicals. Free-radicals are molecules that may damage your skin cells.
As a preservative, it is used to stabilize products and prevent them from degrading. Specifically, BHT prevents degradation from oxidation.
The concerns related to BHT come from oral studies; this ingredient is currently allowed for use by both the FDA and EU.
However, it was recently restricted for use in the UK as of April 2024.

Cyclopentasiloxane, or D5, is a silicone used to improve texture of products and trap moisture.
D5 is considered lightweight and volatile. Volatile means it evaporates quickly after application. Once evaporated, D5 leaves a thin barrier that helps keep skin hydrated.
It is also an emollient. Emollients help soften the skin and prevent water loss. Silicones create a silky texture in products. D5 helps other ingredients become more spreadable.
Studies show D5 is safe to use in skincare products. We recommend speaking with a skincare professional if you have concerns.

It can also help stabilize a product by helping to disperse other ingredients.
Hectorite is a rare, white clay mineral.

Parfum is a catch-all term for an ingredient or more that is used to give a scent to products.
Also called "fragrance", this ingredient can be a blend of hundreds of chemicals or plant oils. This means every product with "fragrance" or "parfum" in the ingredients list is a different mixture.
For instance, Habanolide is a proprietary trade name for a specific aroma chemical. When used as a fragrance ingredient in cosmetics, most aroma chemicals fall under the broad labeling category of “FRAGRANCE” or “PARFUM” according to EU and US regulations.
The term 'parfum' or 'fragrance' is not regulated in many countries. In many cases, it is up to the brand to define this term.
For instance, many brands choose to label themselves as "fragrance-free" because they are not using synthetic fragrances. However, their products may still contain ingredients such as essential oils that are considered a fragrance by INCI standards.
One example is Calendula flower extract. Calendula is an essential oil that still imparts a scent or 'fragrance'.
Depending on the blend, the ingredients in the mixture can cause allergies and sensitivities on the skin. Some ingredients that are known EU allergens include linalool and citronellol.
Parfum can also be used to mask or cover an unpleasant scent.
The bottom line is: not all fragrances/parfum/ingredients are created equally. If you are worried about fragrances, we recommend taking a closer look at an ingredient. And of course, we always recommend speaking with a professional.

Propane is a gas derived from petroleum and natural gas. It is used as a propellant.
This ingredient is most commonly used in shaving cream, hair products, and makeup.
This ingredient is a solvent. It helps dissolve active ingredients and alter the texture of products.
Propylene Carbonate is commonly used in makeup and with clay, such as montmorillonite or bentonite.
Studies show this ingredient to be safe for cosmetics. When it is undiluted, it can cause skin irritation. (It is always diluted in skincare and makeup). This ingredient is water-soluble.
Propylene Carbonate is created from propylene glycol and carbonic acid.
