      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.
