“There is increasing evidence that aluminum exposure is associated with neurotoxicity, including Alzheimer’s disease.” – World Health Organization, 2021 Report on Human Exposure to Aluminum
Every day, millions of Kenyans apply deodorants without knowing they could be exposing themselves to aluminum—a toxic metal linked to breast cancer and memory loss.
👉 Let’s unpack why your deodorant choice matters more than you think.
The good news? You can stay fresh without the risks.
⚠️ What Happens When Aluminum Enters Your Body Daily?
Why does your antiperspirant stop sweat? The answer lies in aluminum salts that literally plug your sweat ducts. But here’s what most Kenyans don’t realize: your underarms have some of the thinnest skin on your body, making it a direct gateway for aluminum absorption.
⚠️ But your underarm skin is thin and absorbent. Daily use—especially after shaving—can push aluminum straight into your bloodstream.
🧠 This buildup is linked to:
🧬 Breast cancer (mimics estrogen)
🧠 Alzheimer’s disease
🧽 Kidney and bone damage
❌ Skin rashes and irritation
