Summary

Dove 0% Aluminum Cucumber & Green Tea scores 30/100. The aluminum-free positioning is a real win -- no sweat-duct plugging, no systemic aluminum absorption. But the rest of the formula is still mainstream-Unilever heavy: propylene glycol and dipropylene glycol take the #1 and #4 slots (both petrochemical-derived humectants/solvents, irritants for sensitive skin), Poloxamine 1307 is an ethoxylated copolymer (1,4-dioxane risk), and the synthetic fragrance comes with 9 disclosed allergens (Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Benzyl Alcohol, Benzyl Salicylate, Citronellol, Coumarin, Geraniol, Hexyl Cinnamal, Limonene, Linalool). BHT for stabilization. Better than the antiperspirant version but still not a clean formula.
