Benzene does not appear on the ingredients list of deodorants because it is a contaminant
You can identify benzene by smelling it when it is in pure form, as the solvent has a sweet, aromatic odor similar to that of gasoline. However, you will not be able to determine whether a deodorant body spray contains benzene this way, as the concentration is too low and the main scent of the product overpowers the smell of the chemical. Only researchers with access to innovative testing methods and tools can tell if benzene is present in antiperspirant or deodorant body spray.
Nevertheless, no benzene exposure is safe, and when it comes to contaminated deodorant, it is always best to be on the safe side. For this reason, you should read the list of antiperspirant and deodorant body sprays found to have benzene by Valisure to know which products to avoid. Although over 20 tainted deodorants were recalled, there are still 34 that contain benzene on the market, and it is a wise idea to choose products that are not on that list.
