Summary

Old Spice High Endurance Pure Sport Antiperspirant scores 13/100 -- the standard P&G mainstream antiperspirant formula. The active is aluminum zirconium tetrachlorohydrex GLY 17% (sweat-duct-plugging aluminum salt with systemic absorption concern). The base is the loaded petroleum/silicone stack: cyclopentasiloxane (D5 silicone, EU-restricted as very persistent/very bioaccumulative, on Canada's CEPA toxic substances list), mineral oil, petrolatum, dimethicone, PPG-14 butyl ether (petrochemical glycol ether), kaolin clay, and synthetic fragrance with no allergen breakdown disclosed. Three different petroleum byproducts in one formula. This is the antiperspirant version -- there is also a noticeably cleaner Aluminum-Free Pure Sport deodorant in a different stick.
