Powder Antiperspirant Formula Questions

Regarding your powder antiperspirant formula with Aluminum Chlorohydrate and Talc:

  • Recommended percentage for all-day sweat control: You can use Aluminum Chlorohydrate at a rate of 5-25%. For all-day sweat control, especially if you are an athlete or sweat heavily, it is recommended to use the maximum rate of 25%. For general use, you can adjust the percentage down based on your needs. The optimal level varies per person and requires testing.
  • Mixing method for 20g batch: Both grinding and stirring until well combined are acceptable methods for mixing a 20g batch.
  • Will the formula stain clothes yellow? Aluminum Chlorohydrate can potentially stain clothes yellow, but among the Aluminum compounds used for sweat reduction, it has the lowest chance of causing yellow stains.
  • Is Ammonium Alum the same as Antisweat (Aluminum Chlorohydrate)? No, Ammonium Alum is not the same substance as Aluminum Chlorohydrate.
