The Arm & Hammer Unscented Natural Deodorant utilizes a standard glycol-based delivery system. While formulated without aluminum, this professional-grade stick relies on a synthetic Dipropylene Glycol solvent and Sodium Stearate as a thickener. The inclusion of Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Soda) provides odor neutralization, though data indicates this alkaline environment may disrupt the skin's natural surface maintenance.
| Ingredient | Function | Safety Profile |
|---|---|---|
| Sodium Bicarbonate | Odor Neutralizer | Potential for Surface Irritation |
| Dipropylene Glycol | Solvent/Humectant | Low Risk |
| Allantoin | Skin Conditioning | Soothing |
Audit reports highlight strong efficacy for odor control on non-synthetic fabrics and a clear application that prevents residue transfer. However, approximately 25% of audited user reports mention surface sensitivity or temporary skin darkening. To maintain the skin barrier, it is recommended to rotate this product with a pH-balanced formula utilizing magnesium or arrowroot powder.
