But fear not, my friends; the Newslex Point team is on your side! We’ve written several articles about the dangers of specific cosmetic products and today, we’re going to add another to the ‘do not buy’ list:

Axe, the popular men’s deodorant.

The Real Axe Effect

The marketing folks at Axe would have men believe that ‘the Axe effect’ entails having women fawn over them after they’ve used the product. Er, not quite. Most women actually hate the smell of Axe.

But men, that should be the least of our concerns with this cosmetic product line.

You see, Axe sprays contain loads of endocrine disruptors. These are chemicals that mimic human hormone function, which confuses the body. Regarding the exact nature of this confusion, have a look at the following statement from the Endocrine Society:

But that’s just the beginning. Read on to learn more about the specific toxic ingredients in Axe products.

Aluminum Zirconium Tetrachlorohydrex Gly

This is the active antiperspirant ingredient in Axe. It clings to the underarm to provide 24-hour wetness protection. That’s not all it does, though. You see, your skin easily absorbs aluminum ions. Over time, the buildup of these ions can lead to nerve damage, kidney damage, Alzheimer’s and breast cancer.

Cocamidopropyl Betaine

Cocamidopropyl betaine is the ingredient that makes certain Axe products foamy. The problem with cocamidopropyl betaine is that it interacts with other chemicals in cosmetics and food to produce nitrosamines. Most nitrosamines are highly carcinogenic. Studies have shown that they cause over 40 types of cancer in animals and humans alike.

PPG-14 Bustyl Ether

Unnaturally dry armpits tend to build up static cling. That’s where PPG-14 bustyl ether comes into produce a less clingy environment. It’s a paraben which, if you’ve read some of our other cosmetic articles, you know can be found in 99% of all breast cancer tissue.

PPG-14 bustyl ether is also a toluene derivative – a class of chemicals linked to reproductive and developmental toxicity.

BHT

Without BHT, Axe would smell very rancid. Even more rancid than it already does. You see, BHT is an antimicrobial preservative. The problem is, your body breaks down and absorbs BHT quite easily. Once inside, even in low doses, the chemical causes organ damage, cancer and reproductive toxicity.

So…

What do you think of the real Axe effect? Sounds ‘lovely,’ doesn’t it? Instead of reaching for toxic chemicals to deodorize yourself, why not look for more natural options. Here are a few cosmetic product (s):
