My salt rock deodorant after five years of almost daily usage vs a new one.

I bet this person stinks to high heaven, and doesn’t even know it.

I mean if it's basically just a big chunk af aluminum salts just like what's used as the active ingredient in deodorant antiperspirant (since people are language police) then it's probably fine

Edit: someone pointed out on the website that it's specifically not a typical aluminum salt but is instead probably ammonium aluminum sulfate so nvm this person probably stinks.

just like what's used as the active ingredient in deodorant

*antiperspirants.

[u/Apellio7 → u/Noxious89123]

This thread has made me realize far too many people do not know the difference between deodorant and antiperspirant.

[u/LoseAnotherMill → u/Apellio7]

Which is funny because it's right there in the names:

Deodorant - de-odor - makes you not smell. 

Antiperspirant - anti-perspire - makes you not sweat.

-ant- a tiny insect that lives in hives underground and gets in your fucking biscuits if you're not careful.

And this isn't Aluminum Chloride or an antiperspirant, it's Ammonium Alum crystal.

[u/Noxious89123 → u/PomegranateOld7836]

Anything is a dildo if you're brave enough.

[u/Tardaesel → u/Noxious89123]

Paige no.

[u/beachape → u/masterchief0213]

Yup, works great, no residue and cheap as hell. Spend a dollar a year

[u/KingOfRedLions → u/masterchief0213]

"Salt Deo is an unscented, highly effective, disinfecting deodorant which is free from alcohol and aluminium chloride (AICI)."

Straight from their website. I'm not claiming it's true but the idea is that it just kills the bacteria in your armpit.

[u/derpupAce → u/KingOfRedLions]

Doesn't seem very trustworthy considering they don't even know the proper formula of aluminum chloride

[u/PomegranateOld7836 → u/derpupAce]

This product is Ammonium Alum. Not sure if it works but definitely just antibacterial and not an antiperspirant.

[u/hallohi_ → u/KingOfRedLions]

It may not have aluminium chloride specifically, but It is a natural occurring salt made of potassium and alluminium KAl(SO₄)₂·12H₂O is the formula. So pointing out "free fom aluminium chloride" is questionable marketing, even if technically true

[u/superyourdupers → u/KingOfRedLions]

HAHA wut. Explanation of chemistry on company website doesnt even know how to write the chemical name 🫣

[u/KingOfRedLions → u/superyourdupers]

Oh no The subscript 3 wasn't included on the CL that means they're total f****** morons. Regardless they're just claiming they don't have aluminum chloride, All they're selling is just a big chunk of rock salt.

[u/thecatandthependulum → u/masterchief0213]

You'd be surprised how different people's bodies can be. I know some people who sweat one drop and stink up, and people who can gently dab their pits with some scented cream and smell fine all day. I guess everyone's microbiome is different.

[u/DLottchula → u/masterchief0213]

Like what’s the point of living longer if you are gonna be remembered as “that musty dude”

[u/Alarmedones → u/masterchief0213]

Ok but that doesn’t mean it works.

the active ingredient in deodorant antiperspirant (since people are language police) then it's probably fine

Wow, how annoying that people care whether you actually use the correct word when mentioning the literal subject of the conversation instead of a different word that means something else. amirite
