Description
Aluminum Sesquichlorohydrate is an aluminum salt complex that is primarily used as an active antiperspirant in deodorants. Its main function is to reduce sweat production by forming temporary gel-like plugs in sweat glands. This reduces the amount of sweat that reaches the skin's surface. In addition, the component also has antibacterial properties, which helps to reduce unpleasant odor. It is often used in roll-on deodorants, antiperspirants, gels, and creams for the underarm area.
