Does aluminium in antiperspirant cause breast cancer? Are we “blocking toxins” when we stop ourselves sweating? This week on After Hours Skin Clinic, Consultant Dermatologists Dr Emma Craythorne and Dr Ellie Rashid cut through one of the most persistent skincare myths on the internet: the safety of deodorants and antiperspirants. From aluminium and breast cancer fears to “endocrine disruptors,” hormone myths and detox misinformation, Emma and Ellie break down what the science actually says (and what the noise on social media can get very wrong). They explain: The difference between deodorant and antipersant What aluminium actually does in the skin Whether antiperspirants increase cancer risk The truth about “toxin build-up” What endocrine disruptors really mean Why irritation and contact dermatitis are more common than serious risk How to manage excessive sweating safely They also discuss fragrance reactions, irritant dermatitis, and when stronger antiperspirants for hyperhidrosis are appropriate.
