Aluminum zirconium trichlorohydrex gly

Aluminum zirconium trichlorohydrex gly is a coordination complex of aluminum and zirconium chlorohydrate with glycine. It is widely used as an active ingredient in over-the-counter antiperspirant and deodorant products. The compound consists of monomeric and polymeric Zr4+ and Al3+ complexes with hydroxide, chloride, and glycine ligands. Its primary mechanism involves forming a colloidal plug within sweat pores, thereby blocking the release of sweat to the skin surface[1][2][5]. This action reduces underarm wetness (perspiration) when applied topically as a cream or stick formulation[4]. It is approved for use in personal care products such as antiperspirants.
