A great number of health-conscious consumers and people with skin sensitivities have made the switch to aluminum-free deodorant products and to better support those who are looking for alternative options, Dove launched the Dove 0% Aluminum Deodorant—its first-ever zero-aluminum deodorant.
Since the included aluminum salts in many antiperspirant products block sweat glands and slow down sweating, many antiperspirant products have been linked to various health issues. Dove's new deodorants set themselves apart by soothing the underarm area and scenting it with Pomegranate & Lemon Verbena, Cucumber & Green Tea, Coconut & Pink Jasmine, or Blue Fig & Orange Blossom.
Although deodorants do not prevent sweating, they are useful for masking or neutralizing body odor—and many consumers are investing in products that support the body's way of naturally cooling itself down.
