Ok...some of you might find this topic a little...well, maybe unusual :p It is just something that I was wondering, since I will be living in madrid starting this summer.
My question is: Are there Anti-Perspirants with aluminum in Spain? I don't mean simply deodorants...the ones with aluminum that actually "stop" the sweating, not mask it with simple perfume.
The reason why I am asking this is because in Germany, where all my relatives live, it is banned. You can only buy deodorants, and not Anti-Perspirants. When they saw how great my anti-perspirants were from Canada, they asked me to ship them a case load!!!! They constantly needed to apply deodorant in the summer...and many german people, although not smelly...have this...well, light sweat smell :p
I am sorry to gross anybody out, but we are all human, right?
I hope that spain has anti-perspirants...I mean, it is soooo hot there in the summertime...
Any answers to my question?
Thanks a bunch!!!

The aluminum (aluminum chlorohydrate) is the element that is suppossed to cause breast cancer. Not only anti-perspirants have it in its composition,but also most "simple" deodorants.

Probably laws are stricter in Germany. I've found aluminum in almost all anti-transpirants/deodorants in Spain. You'd have to go to some "natural store" to find an alternative composition in those products.
