Frequently Asked Questions

Answers in plain language

Is aluminum zirconium in antiperspirants banned in Europe?

No. Aluminum zirconium tetrachlorohydrex glycine and similar aluminum zirconium complexes are permitted in EU antiperspirants. The SCCS has reviewed these compounds repeatedly and confirmed safety at typical concentrations and use patterns. Some retailers and brands voluntarily exclude them, but no EU regulation prohibits them.

What are the side effects of aluminum zirconium?

Common reports include mild skin irritation and white residue. Historical concerns linking aluminum-based antiperspirants to breast cancer or Alzheimer disease have not been confirmed by regulatory or epidemiological reviews. The 2020 SCCS opinion on aluminum cosmetic exposure concluded that typical use does not exceed the tolerable daily intake.
