Low Allergenic Deodorants and Antiperspirants

Most adults are in the habit of swiping deodorant or antiperspirant under their arms as a part of their daily hygiene routine. Both deodorant and antiperspirant products are meant to keep your body smelling fresh, even as your body temperature rises and you begin to sweat. When you get redness, itching, or flaking skin where you applied deodorant or antiperspirant, it’s a sign that you might be allergic or sensitive to something in the product.

Below is a list of low allergenic deodorants and antiperspirants:
