Walmart benzene deodorant

In November 2021, the independent pharmacy Valisure published the results of its research into the benzene contents of spray deodorant and antiperspirant products. After testing 108 unique batches comprising products from 30 different brands, benzene was detected in more than half of the samples. Despite the fact that one of Walmart's deodorants was reported to have increased benzene levels, the company made no efforts to address the issue. Although the FDA tolerates heavily-restricted concentrations of benzene (2 parts per million) in specific drugs for therapeutic advancement, the substance has no place in deodorants and antiperspirants. Benzene has no safe level of exposure and is a class 1 solvent that can lead to the development of several cancers.
