Abstract :

Worldwide the use of chemicals is a wide spread practice for enhancing and improving lifestyle. Along with the benefits of these products there is also the potential for adverse effects to the people and the environment. The most consistently used components since the commercial introduction of antiperspirants in 1903 are the aluminium salts, Aluminium Nitrate and Aluminium Chloride are the active ingredient in antiperspirants. The antiperspirants containing Aluminium nitrate and Aluminium chloride even in low dose concentration cause well defined histological damage to the skin and its appendages and the change almost revert back to normal after stoppage of application.
