SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the safety of aluminum compounds commonly found in deodorants and antiperspirants, specifically Aluminum zirconium tetrachlorohydrex gly, Aluminum chloride, Aluminum zirconium tricholorohydrex gly, Aluminum chlorohydrate, and Aluminum hydroxybromide. While there were past concerns linking these compounds to diseases such as Alzheimer's, current consensus indicates that the form of aluminum used in these products does not pose a significant risk to users. The FDA has ruled that these aluminum compounds are safe for use in personal care products.
