As you know a lot of deodorants contain anti-perspirant which often contain aluminium compounds.
These aluminium compounds stop the sweat glands from working. This is a suppression and can cause problems.
However the aluminium in the crystals is mainly in the form of Aluminium sulphate which just makes the area acidic so the bacteria that cause odour cannot survive or multiply in it and hence no odour.
However, and Importantly, perspiration continues and the sweat glands are NOT so affected.

If it dissolves, it is absorbable.

Are the various forms of aluminum considered equally absorbable?
