De Powder Composition & Safety: What You Need to Know

It is generally safe to use and has been used for many years in households. However, some people may experience allergic reactions or skin irritation from long-term use or very frequent use.

* Cornflour/starch: Cornflour is made from the endosperm of corn kernels and is a common thickening agent in cooking and baking.

* Aluminium sulphate: Aluminium sulphate is a chemical compound that is used as an astringent,styptic and antiperspirant. It helps to stop bleeding and also to keep your underarm skin dry and odour-free.

To avoid this discomfort, ensure you follow the instructions on the product label and avoid putting too much force while rubbing your deodorant as it may cause cuts or micro tears in your underarms. Also note that using deodorants/antiperspirants on broken skin may cause irritation or discomfort.
