ALUMINUM CHLOROHYDRATE
Aluminum Chlorohydrate is typically produced by reacting aluminum hydroxide with hydrochloric acid. The reaction results in the formation of aluminum chloride, which further reacts with water to form Aluminum Chlorohydrate. The process involves careful control of temperature, pH, and concentration to obtain the desired product.
Aluminum Chlorohydrate is a common ingredient used in cosmetics, particularly in antiperspirants and deodorants. It is an aluminum salt derived from chlorohydroxy acids and appears as a white, crystalline solid or a colorless liquid, depending on its formulation. Aluminum Chlorohydrate functions as an antiperspirant agent by temporarily blocking sweat glands, reducing perspiration and odor. It forms a gel-like plug in the sweat ducts, hindering the release of sweat onto the skin’s surface. Additionally, Aluminum Chlorohydrate is also gentle and non-irritating on the skin.
