aluminum zirconium pentachlorohydrate

Aluminum zirconium pentachlorohydrate is a small molecule used as an active ingredient in many over-the-counter antiperspirant products. It acts by forming a polymer complex that blocks sweat gland pores, thereby reducing the amount of sweat released onto the skin surface. This compound is often formulated as a coordination complex with glycine (aluminum zirconium pentachlorohydrex gly), which enhances its ability to absorb moisture and improves product efficacy. Its primary indication is for use in personal care products to control underarm perspiration and odor[2][1][3][4].
