It analyzes the latest scientific data including those obtained from three studies, two of which date back to 2020. These latest results show, among other things, that the aluminum contained in antiperspirant products is neither absorbed nor stored by the skin. In addition, all the latest evaluations and bibliographies carried out until 2017 by other scientific committees were reviewed and confirm that aluminum in cosmetic products does not play a role in breast cancer.<\/p>\n<p>The Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety is an independent committee of the European Commission, composed of seventeen members who are experts in chemistry and toxicology and known for the rigor of their scientific analyses.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>For Anne Dux, Director of Scientific and Regulatory Affairs at FEBEA <i>This study brings to an end more than ten years of anxiety-provoking controversies for consumers who use antiperspirants.
