These are NOT aluminium free.
They used to be advertised as aluminium free.
I was discussing this in our group and one of our group who has extraordinary powers said this statement is not correct.
(She said that the hairs on her arms stand up when ever she hears a false statement! )
So I wrote to the suppliers in UK and asked for the official analysis of the product.
They had not had the product analysed having relied on their far eastern manufacturers - so they sent a request to the laboratory of either Bristol or Bath university and the report came back that it has aluminium in as a major constituent.
However, I use this product and find that it is effective and one only need to use it every two or three days.
Under-arm perspiration should be almost odour free - although pheromones are exerted with them.
Unwelcomed odour is caused by bacteria which is often removed by washing. The way this type of product acts is that it creates an acid environment where the bacteria that cause the odour cannot survive - hence no odour.
Unless of course one's perspiration is odorous - that is to say the perspiration is odorous no matter how much the area is washed and cleaned. This is then a symptom and needs to be taken into consideration.

Are you referring to the crystal salt deodorant sticks? I have been using one called Thai crystal deodorant stone for years. I love it. It is made in Arizona. It does say it contains no Aluminum Chlohydrate. Perhaps just like everything else products vary from county to county. This is the only deodorant I will use.

Are you all talking about the clear rock like crystal that Thai people use for underarm odour?

Do you mean that contains aluminium? What's the long term effect on health? I've been using that for several yrs.

Kindly advise.

No, It is a brand of deodorant stick made in the US by a company in Arizona called Thai sticks. It contains no aluminum. I use it all the time.

They are right. It does not contain Aluminium chlorohydrate. A truthful company !! Hey, it doesn't even contain aluminium trichloride. They should mention that.
What it does contain is Aluminium potassium sulphate in almost 100% form. Now you know why it works so well. You would be safer using drichlor which is only 20%w/w. Of course you would be safest avoiding Aluminium altogether.

Paul

No wonder early senility is setting in with me! The ingredient listed (
after declaration of no aluminium chlorohydrate) is Ammonium Alum:

I wonder how they will go on for cremating me if it makes me fireproof!

then it's not even natural. Potassium aluminium sulphate is the natural form of aluminium in clay. So when derived from "natural clay sources" it should be that. Ammon alum is chemically synthesized, because the natural form is rare (see your wiki ref). ???? is the ammonia acting homeopathically ? what genius.

In fact, I know why they call it the Thai deodorant stone
This Has Aluminium In.
Thai? it's probably made in a warehouse in Arizona.
