Comment on What were the original antiperspirants before modern day ones?

They weren’t.

Check out wikipedia. There was one product developed in the late 1800s (“Mum,” which was zinc based), then not much happened until it was repackaged as Ban roll-on in the 1940s.

The idea that sweating is bad is very much a modern concept.
