Summary

Secret Outlast Completely Clean Clear Gel scores 15/100. P&G's flagship antiperspirant for women, with aluminum zirconium octachlorohydrex GLY 17% as the active (the gel form of the standard sweat-duct plug). The Clear Gel formula is shorter than the Invisible Solid version -- no mineral oil, no petrolatum, no kaolin -- but it adds alcohol denat. (drying to skin) and propylene glycol (petrochemical solvent and irritant), plus cyclopentasiloxane (D5 silicone, EU-restricted as vPvB) and synthetic fragrance with no allergen disclosure. The minimalist label is misleading: it's still aluminum + D5 + PG + undisclosed parfum.
