What's Aluminum Chlorohydrate ?

Aluminum chlorohydrate is a simple form of a group of FDA-recognized aluminum-based salts that can be used to reduce underarm wetness in underarm antiperspirant products. Aluminum chlorohydrate is also widely used in water purification to remove dissolved organic material. 

WHAT DOES IT DO?

Aluminum chlorohydrate is one of the 18 aluminum-based active ingredients approved by the Food and Drug Association for use in over the counter underarm antiperspirant products. Our clinical studies show our antiperspirant stick help reduce sweat and perspiration . Aluminum chlorohydrate works by forming a temporary plug within the sweat duct that help reduce the flow of sweat to the skin's surface. While the aluminum chlorohydrate reduces the amount of sweat on the skin surface, the ingredient also creates a skin environment which is hostile to the growth of malodor-producing bacteria to help reduce underarm odor.Meanwhile,it used as flocculant in water treatment.

HOW IS IT MADE?

Our Standard Model guides us to select ingredients which have been processed in a manner that supports our philosophy of human and environmental health.In our products, we use an aluminum chlorohydrate prepared from aluminum ingot,  hydrochloric acid and water.

WHAT ARE THE ALTERNATIVES?

There are 18 aluminum-based salts recognized by the US Food and Drug Administration to reduce underarm wetness. These include a number of forms of aluminum-based salts including aluminum chloride, aluminum chlorohydrate(s), and aluminum zirconium salts. Among these options, aluminum chloride is the simplest form but its inherent acidity means that it can be damaging to many fabrics and some may find it irritating to the underarm. Aluminum chlorohydrate is the simplest salt that is not damaging to fabric and is generally well-tolerated on the skin.
