There are numerous scientific studies on the subject of breast cancer and its development. Meanwhile, scientists came to the conclusion that genetic factors are responsible for the uncontrolled proliferation of harmful cells in the breast area. In addition, there are several other theses on the subject. The latest research results make it clear that, in addition, certain substances from our everyday lives also lead to this disease. These include aluminum chloride, which is currently the focus of much attention. This ingredient is mainly used in the cosmetics industry. It gets onto our skin several times a day and through it to our organs. Female consumers in particular are increasingly afraid of getting breast cancer from aluminum chloride in deodorants. Aluminum chloride is found in deodorants and in other cosmetic products. It does not matter what type of cosmetic it is. Given the ongoing debate in the media, more and more companies are turning to alternative ingredients.
What does aluminum chloride do to combat sweating?
Many manufacturers use aluminum chloride within their deodorants. Known as chloride of aluminum, the substance can counteract sweat production. In the epithelial tissue of the skin is the upper layer of sweat pores. These are always open. The body can produce and secrete sweat regularly. This process is important for cooling the body. When applying deodorant with the ingredient aluminum chloride, the pores are closed by the substance itself. This reduces the amount of sweat droplets secreted. In addition, it has an anti-inflammatory effect. In Germany, some people suffer from axillary hyperhidrosis. Increased sweat forms in their pores. It cannot drain away and accumulates under the armpits. Affected people have unsightly sweat patches on their tops and are avoided by other people. Of course, in addition to physical factors, there are also psychological conditions. Product manufacturers have recognized this fact and have therefore increasingly relied on aluminum chloride to dry the skin and make life easier for the affected person.
Does aluminum chloride increase the risk of breast cancer?
Since aluminum chloride is widely used within the cosmetics industry, numerous research institutes are looking into the salt of aluminum. So far, they have not reached a clear conclusion regarding the link between aluminum chloride and the development of breast cancer. However, there are some data that show a development. Within the 21st century, there are significantly more breast cancer patients than in the last century. Within more than 50 years, the number of people affected has almost doubled. To find the cause for this increase, lengthy procedures are necessary. Renowned institutes see the cause in the excessive use of deodorants with the ingredient aluminum chloride. The deodorant present in stores today was developed and marketed in the 20th century. Since the manufacturers already knew about the positive properties of aluminum chloride at that time, it was used at the beginning. Certainly, aluminum chloride could be a trigger for breast cancer. However, science does not agree on this and clear results are not available yet. Therefore, other researchers attribute the development of degenerated cells in the underarm area to environmental influences. Since the cause cannot be clearly determined, users should resort to deodorants without the addition of aluminum chloride.
These deodorants do not contain aluminum
Meanwhile, customers no longer have to go on the cumbersome search for a deodorant without aluminum salts. Common companies have already changed their range of products and, in addition, used a different formula for the production of their cosmetic product. A list of deodorants without aluminum:

Other cosmetics also contain aluminum
Aluminum is not found exclusively in deodorants. However, aluminum is found in various forms. Only the water-soluble aluminum salts pose a health risk. Calcium aluminum borosilicate represents one variant of aluminum. This substance is a common ingredient in lipsticks. In it, it provides shine when applied and prevents colors from running. Calcium aluminum borosilicate is not particularly dangerous. Users should adhere to the recommended daily amount. Within regular toothpaste, the situation is different in terms of harmlessness. Here, aluminum oxide or aluminum hydroxide or aluminum fluoride is used. This ingredient eliminates caries and cleans the teeth in a polishing way. Those who clean their teeth after every meal should focus on alternative products. Maienfelser Naturkosmetik produces a tooth powder in different flavors. In this there are only natural ingredients, which do not include aluminum. Likewise, caution is advised with mattifying makeup. Aluminum hydroxides have a caring effect, so product manufacturers use this substance in their makeups. There are numerous alternatives in the field of natural cosmetics. Customers want a shiny skin. Therefore, they use a body lotion with a shimmer effect. This contains the same substance that is used in lipsticks. Since a body lotion is applied over a large area, it should not be used. Furthermore, we find various aluminum compounds in dry shampoos and sunscreens.
The dose makes it
Of course, users do not get sick with infrequent use. Our body has numerous cells that can skillfully fight off intruders and thus ensure a healthy organism. This must be protected. Anyone who regularly inhales or applies harmful substances is not doing their body any favors. All readers know this fact from the field of nutrition. Who has not eaten too many sweets as a child and then complained of stomach aches and nausea? Excess is always difficult to break down. Therefore, it is important to use harmful products rarely if at all. There is an alternative to every product. It is only necessary to find them. Nature offers all necessary substances to living beings. Everyone should make use of them and will fall ill less often this way.
