About this ingredient

Aluminum Chlorohydrate is a widely used active pharmaceutical ingredient known for its efficacy in reducing perspiration and controlling body odor. It functions primarily as an antiperspirant by temporarily blocking the sweat ducts, thereby reducing the amount of sweat that reaches the skin's surface. This mechanism makes it an essential component in formulations aimed at managing hyperhidrosis, a condition characterized by excessive sweating.

In addition to its antiperspirant properties, Aluminum Chlorohydrate also exhibits antimicrobial activity, which helps in minimizing the growth of odor-causing bacteria on the skin. This dual action makes it a preferred choice in dermatological preparations where both sweat reduction and odor control are desired outcomes. Its safety profile is well-documented, with numerous studies supporting its use in topical applications.

Aluminum Chlorohydrate is often favored in compounding due to its stability and compatibility with other ingredients, allowing for the creation of customized formulations tailored to individual patient needs. Its effectiveness and versatility make it a valuable ingredient in the arsenal of treatments available for conditions requiring moisture and odor management. As a result, it is frequently recommended by healthcare professionals for patients seeking relief from excessive sweating and related concerns.
