Aluminum zirconium octachlorohydrex gly

Aluminum zirconium octachlorohydrex gly (CAS 174514-58-0) is a high-efficacy antiperspirant active that reduces sweat output by temporarily blocking eccrine sweat ducts.

Where is Aluminum zirconium octachlorohydrex gly used?

• Clinical-strength and prescription-strength antiperspirants: primary active at higher concentrations
• Stick, soft-solid and invisible-solid formats: favorable rheological behavior and compatibility with wax and emollient systems
• Roll-on and aerosol formulations: enhanced sweat reduction
• Contract manufacturers and brand formulators seek this grade over standard aluminum chlorohydrate alternatives.

Good to know: Belongs to the aluminum-zirconium chlorohydrate family; its glycine-complexed form improves skin compatibility and formulation stability. Buyers should confirm compliance with pharmacopeial or OTC monograph requirements where antiperspirant actives are regulated as OTC drug ingredients.
