General product questions
SweatBlock uses aluminum salts to create a swelling of the sweat glands which reduces the amount of sweat that gets released on the skins surface.
Some of our products are both an antiperspirant and a deodorant. Reducing sweat can often reduce some odor caused by sweat.
People often confuse the terms antiperspirant and deodorant. They are not the same and are actually very different. Antiperspirants stop sweat and deodorants prevent or mask odor.
Based on your body chemistry and skin sensitivity, you may experience side effects like itching, burning, rashes or general skin irritation. Prescription antiperspirants are more likely to come with these side effects as the active ingredient (usually aluminum based) is above FDA OTC guidelines and will tend to irritate skin.
No, there is no evidence that antiperspirant use is linked to cancer. The American Cancer Society has determined that "There were no strong epidemiological studies in the medical literature that link breast cancer risk and antiperspirant use, and very little scientific evidence to support this claim."
