Does aluminum sesquichlorohydrate cause cancer?

I'm very particular about checking ingredient lists in my personal care items. I noticed 'aluminum sesquichlorohydrate' in my deodorant. Does aluminum sesquichlorohydrate cause cancer, or is it a safe ingredient?

Haan, these big chemical names sound very scary when we read them online, na. But honestly, it is just a common compound used in antiperspirants to stop sweat. Doctors have confirmed it doesn't cause any cancer, so chill.

There is currently no scientific or clinical evidence linking aluminum sesquichlorohydrate to cancer risk. However, if you develop severe skin irritation, swelling, or rashes under your arms, please consult a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis.

Don't worry at all. There is absolutely no scientific proof linking this chemical to cancer.

With my PCOS, I always try to be very careful about chemical exposure and hormone disruptors. While doctors say this compound is safe and doesn't cause cancer, I personally use aluminum-free roll-ons just to keep my daily routine as simple as possible.

Agree with the others, it is completely safe. Major oncology research groups have repeatedly cleared it.

While science assures us that these chemicals are safe and do not cause serious illnesses, using a pinch of simple baking soda or alum block is a very gentle, natural way to stay fresh. It helps keep our daily routine close to nature.
