Summary
Degree Women UltraClear Refreshing Rain scores 15/100. The active is aluminum sesquichlorohydrate (lower aluminum percentage than tetrachlorohydrex versions but same sweat-duct-plugging mechanism and systemic-absorption concern). The base is the standard Unilever stack: cyclopentasiloxane (D5 silicone, EU vPvB-flagged), PPG-14 butyl ether (petrochemical), PEG-8 distearate (1,4-dioxane risk), BHT (endocrine flag), polyethylene microplastic in some variants, and synthetic fragrance with no allergen breakdown disclosed. The 'anti white marks / anti yellow stains' positioning is a clothing-care claim, not a skin/health benefit. A women's antiperspirant from the UltraClear line.
