Are antiperspirants carcinogenic?

Deodorants are not generally considered carcinogens. However, for many years, there have been concerns and controversies about the potential links between deodorant ingredients and breast cancer. These concerns have been particularly focused on antiperspirants, which contain aluminum salts, as well as parabens, which are used as preservatives in some cosmetics, including deodorants.
Scientific studies conducted to understand this issue have shown that there is no conclusive evidence that ingredients in deodorants, such as aluminum salts or parabens, contribute to the development of breast cancer. Nevertheless, if you still have concerns about the ingredients used in deodorants, you can choose products labeled "aluminum-free" or "paraben-free."
