I'm seeing advertisements for a brand "SURE UNDERARMS DEO" (antiperspirant), which says it will preventing underarm wetness even in 58 degree celsius.
I think, normally at that temperature one should sweat. And this deo is meant to prevent it.
Do you think it's healthy to use? (I don't. How these people sell craps just for money without any responsibility? They are playing with health.

Generally...any antiperspirant could be a potential problem because it's designed to block our ability to sweat.
I firmly believe that it's important to allow everything to flow throughout our digestive systems, our respiratory systems and our lymphatic systems.
That being said; I wouldn't be willing to use that product because it seems unnatural and unhealthy to me.

Nice point. I too believe the same way.
Really I don't get the point, why would people want to protect his/her shirt instead of their own health. Is there any point? Particularly in a tropical country like India, where the temperature goes as high as 48 degree Celsius.

I understand that it forms a layer over the pores and prevent sweat coming out. (Thanks Sidhu)
Either that would harm our health in the long run or they will mar the skin texture. I definitely won't prefer it.

Most of products, do not matter that it is Deo, It is Shampoo everything is made of chemical. Ant that particular Sure underarms Deo will be risky for our health. 58 degree Celsius temperature is very high. Even for normal human Body this is very risky.

58 degrees is just a hype used by the advert. But, even in normal conditions, stopping sweating is not healthy, I think. How can one think of stopping a natural thing? I don't like that idea.
You may know, youths when they turn out to mature, will have some odors. And these giant target them, hiding the health factors. At that age, the odors would be main concern of those young people, not their future health.

It's an anti-perspirant that stops you sweating. I don't think they are harmful to use, although of course I'm no expert. I've been using them all my life and I'm now aged in my late 50s, and they've never done me any harm. However, I'm not sure that the 58 degrees celsius is an honest claim, because where I live the temperature never gets anywhere near that high, yet on an unusually hot day for this part of the world, some anti-perspirants have let me down....even the best branded ones.

May be in UK, it's not doing any harm. But, here in India, the minimum temperature even in Winter is 20 degrees. In summer it goes as high as 50. In that condition, normal humans should sweat. Stopping sweat in that condition, I don't think is healthy. You should be glad that they didn't work in hot, that's why they didn't do any harm, I think.

Actually, if it's a normal deo, there won't be any problem. But this one is said to prevent the underarm wetness. That's why I'm just speaking against.
