Aluminum zirconium tetrachlorohydrex gly

I could go on explaining the structure of this chemical and where it's found and what it does but I won't. I'll just explain where it's found and what it does because I don't know how to do the first thing. Don't worry it's nothing too fancy it's just the active ingredient in my deodorant which is Speed Stick Irish Spring Icy Blast. I'm hoping for a sponsorship deal that's why it's in here but not at all. It's "purpose" according to the label is an antiperspirant and it does an ok job at that. What it does an even better job at is staining my t-shirt to a darker color right in the pits. The last time I checked deodorant is supposed to do two things, keep you from sweating and smelling. Basically I have two options I can either use it and get dark noticeable stains on all my shirts and not smell or I don't use it and I get yellow stains and sweat and smell a little. I choose option three, I'll just buy a new deodorant without aluminum zirconium tetrachlorohydrex gly.
Lesson learned: avoid aluminum zirconium tetrachlorohydrex gly
