Aluminum Chlorohydrate
Aluminium chlorohydrate is a common ingredient used in UK antiperspirants and deodorants to help keep skin feeling dry and fresh. It works by temporarily reducing sweat production, making it a staple in everyday grooming products. Shoppers often find it in roll-ons, sprays and creams designed for underarm care.
How it works in skincare
In cosmetics and skincare, aluminium chlorohydrate functions as an antiperspirant agent by forming temporary gel-like plugs within sweat ducts when it comes into contact with moisture. This action helps to control the flow of perspiration to the skin’s surface, keeping the underarm area drier for longer. It is widely formulated into deodorants, antiperspirants and some body creams where sweat management and freshness are desired.

Where it comes from
Aluminium chlorohydrate is a synthetic mineral-derived ingredient produced from aluminium obtained from bauxite ore. It is manufactured through a controlled chemical process rather than being directly extracted from plants or flowers.
