This product is ideal for anyone who wants to be on the safe side, as well as for those that have sensitive skin or allergies. This product does not contain ANY traces of Aluminum or Parabens. Most people think that antiperspirants and deodorants are the same thing, but they aren't. Antiperspirants work by clogging the pores with aluminum salts so that they can't release sweat. This interferes with the natural function of the body. Deodorants work by neutralizing the smell of the sweat by killing the bacteria that thrive on it. Be natural and choose Zinc Deo! (tm).
