  • Propylene Glycol If used every day, this chemical can cause damage to your central nervous system, heart and liver. It is also shown to irritate skin, especially if you have sensitive skin
  • Triclosan The FDA has classified triclosan as a pesticide, yet it is in the majority of brand name deodorants
