Equate benzene deodorants

Valisure's late 2021 report highlighted extensive benzene contamination in commercially-available deodorants and antiperspirants. Benzene was found in over half of the 108 tested batches of products from 30 brands in varying concentrations. A deodorant brand owned by Walmart displayed elevated benzene levels that can represent a severe health concern. Benzene is an industrial chemical with no safe exposure level that has been deemed a class 1 solvent and carcinogen. The FDA tolerates minute benzene quantities of 2 parts per million for therapeutic purposes in a limited range of drugs, and the EPA employs a stringent 5 parts per billion standard for drinking water. Even so, benzene isn't permitted in self-care products such as antiperspirants or deodorants.
