A few years ago, Adidas launched an aluminum-free line of deodorants to appease their health-concerned fans, as we all know aluminum in drugstore deodorants was repeatedly linked to a higher risk of Alzheimer’s disease, neurotoxicity, hormonal disruption, and even some types of cancer in recent years.
This lineup of Adidas deodorant without aluminum was designed to keeping the nasty body odors at bay throughout the day with superior wetness protection over other aluminum-free products while completely eliminating the nasty ingredient (aluminum, by the way, was approved by the U.S. FDA as safe for humans). The company has two lines of aluminium-free deodorant – for him and for her – and 4 fragrances for the women’s deodorant. In this article, we’ll review the women’s deodorant as it sports a very interesting sweat-control factor: the Cotton Tech. Now, let’s check it out.
Adidas Aluminum-free Deodorant Overview:
- Developed with athletes
- 0% alcohol, aluminum free and paraben free formula
- Non-staining
- Extra sweat protection

What We Like about Adidas Deodorant Without Aluminum
The aluminum-free deodorant stick for women from Adidas has impressed us because it can keep even a heavy sweater dry longer than most non-aluminum deodorants. It also smells soft and very feminine, dries quickly and doesn’t stain your clothes. It is one of the best aluminum-free options on the market right now.
Adidas Cotton Tech deodorant without aluminum does what it claims to do and, as a plus, it better absorbs sweat than other aluminum-free brands including Tom’s Maine. The superior wetness protection is due to a key ingredient called Gossypium Herbaceum aka a species of cotton sourced from Africa and the Middle East.
It is worth noting that aluminum keeps perspiration at bay (and body odor) by blocking sweat glands. However, since your body can no longer sweat in the pits, tons of toxins that were supposed to get out are re-absorbed into your system, including aluminum, which is detrimental to your health in the long run. Long-term use has been linked to a higher risk of breast cancer, so women need aluminum-based products nowhere near their armpits.
The cotton fivers used in Adidas’ aluminum-free stick deodorant, however, do not block sweat. They simply create a protective layer that absorbs sweat really fast, faster than odor-causing bacteria can reproduce. What’s more, even when you sweat, you’ll notice that it does dry faster than when using other deodorants, as the super-absorbent cotton layer is still there.
Many users have confirmed that with this deodorant they no longer have to worry about wet pit marks on their clothing when under a lot of stress or in hot environments.
Another big plus of this deodorant is that it doesn’t leave white residue on clothing and doesn’t run away with your sweat. The deodorant and scent just stay there and protect you all day long. But since it is a deodorant, not an antiperspirant, it might require a second application later in the day, just to stay on the safe side.
Adidas Cotton Tech stick deodorant comes in four scents – Pure Powder (the most popular one), Fitness Fresh, Icy Burst, and Pure Lightness. All scents are soft, long-lasting without being overpowering, and feminine.
