Aluminium is odourless, certainly as far as I can tell.

A2. But I think cast aluminum sometimes contains a tiny amount of sulfur designed to lower the melting point to aid casting. But my search failed to turn up a reference.

Interesting. Aluminium melts at a relatively low temperature anyway, so maybe your thought refers to another cast metal. Some of the resins used in casting sands to improve adhesion can liberate sulphur dioxide or ammonia (pungent smells) when the hot metal is poured into the mould.

What are some best deodorants for odor control based on consumer reviews?

Based on consumer reviews, some of the best deodorants for odor control are those containing aluminum compounds such as aluminum chloride or aluminum zirconium. These compounds work by forming a temporary plug in the sweat ducts, reducing the amount of sweat that reaches the skin's surface. Additionally, deodorants containing antimicrobial agents like triclosan or tea tree oil can help kill odor-causing bacteria on the skin. It's important to note that individual preferences and body chemistry can vary, so what works for one person may not work for another.


Why is deodorant a base?
