1 facts match “deodorant”

Green, natural and unscented / Self-reported survey

'Fragrance-free'/'unscented' deodorant claims are not a reliable guarantee for fragrance-allergic people: in a cited patient survey, 4.7% of fragrance-contact-allergic patients who had used an unscented deodorant in the past 3 months got a rash from it.

Weak evidence: Figure is relayed from Lysdal and Johansen 2009, not Klaschka's own data; not in our evidence base as a primary yet.
