This is the correct answer. Deodorant works just fine without cancer causing aluminum oxide.
There's no cancer link. It's a discredited hypothesis.
You don’t have to use it, but aluminum salts are not really cancer-causing:

All calories are cancer causing, seriously. We need to stop using that term, because it’s nearly meaningless. We use it to describe something with a 100% cancer rate, and 0.01% rate.
Most people make the greatest risk of their lives, when they get in their car… and here we are all taking precautions against something insanely less likely to cause your death.
