    Is it the antiperspirant that gives you rashes or all the fragrances and unnecessary junk many contain?

        Antiperspirants tend to use either aluminum or zinc as an active ingredient, both are known to cause skin irritation in some people.

          Oh I didnt know that about zinc. Zinc oxide is in a lot of stuff. Like diaper rash cream, sun screen, some exzema creams and dandruff shampoo. Must be a bitch to figure out what’s causing your skin issues, especially if its in your skin care products.
