I spent a lot of time in the middle east, so I'm going to say: Deodorant, not more perfume. Please.
Even better: an antiperspirant. It significantly lowers sweat production on the applied area.
Even better: wash yourself regularly and avoid synthetic fabric.
i'm very hesitant about this, we sweat for a reason.
I'd rather just get rid of the smell and deal with sweaty armpits, rather than risk overheating.
But it also has aluminium which might increase your chances of getting cancer.
Newer studies show that the intake of aluminium through your skin is very low and that there is no increased risk to your health. The risk from aluminium in food is higher.
Link to a PDF of the SCCS (Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety, European Commission): https://health.ec.europa.eu/system/files/2021-11/sccs_o_235.pdf
Conclusion: "... The SCCS considers that the systemic exposure to aluminium via daily applications of cosmetic products does not add significantly to the systemic body burden of aluminium from other sources. Exposure to aluminium may also occur from sources other than cosmetic products, and a major source of aluminium in the population is the diet. This assessment has not taken into account the daily dietary intake of aluminium."
Ok, I’ll bite. How the heck is aluminum getting into my food?
Aluminum foil and containers, also lots of vegetables already have small amounts of aluminum in them.
I'll bite
There's your problem.
You mean anti-transpirant? Deodorant is often just perfume.
I will take BO over perfume all day everyday
