Aluminum zirconium octachlorohydrex gly

Aluminum zirconium octachlorohydrex gly (CAS 174514-58-0) is a high-efficacy antiperspirant active used in personal care formulations to reduce sweat output by temporarily blocking eccrine sweat ducts.

It belongs to the aluminum-zirconium chlorohydrate family and is distinguished by its glycine-complexed form, which improves skin compatibility and formulation stability during the manufacturing process.

It is the primary active ingredient in clinical-strength and prescription-strength antiperspirant products, where higher active concentrations are required to meet specific efficacy thresholds.

Stick, soft-solid, and invisible-solid antiperspirant formats rely on this grade for its favorable rheological behavior and compatibility with various wax and emollient systems used in production.

Roll-on and aerosol antiperspirant formulations also incorporate it where enhanced sweat reduction performance is the key commercial differentiator for the end-user market.

Contract manufacturers and brand formulators sourcing for clinical or dermatologist-recommended product lines specifically seek this grade over standard aluminum chlorohydrate alternatives for better results.

Aluminum zirconium octachlorohydrex gly is supplied as a fine white powder. It is available in cosmetic-grade specification, with active content typically expressed as a percentage of anhydrous complex.

Buyers should confirm compliance with relevant pharmacopeial or OTC monograph requirements, particularly for markets where antiperspirant actives are regulated as over-the-counter drug ingredients.
