Deodorant Spray Formulation

Regarding your Deodorant Spray formula and your question about replacing Anti-Sweat™ (Aluminum Chlorohydrate), there are suitable alternatives available.

Alternative to Anti-Sweat™ (Aluminum Chlorohydrate)

Aluminum Chlorohydrate is an effective antiperspirant and deodorant ingredient. If it is unavailable, Aluminum Zirconium compounds are commonly used alternatives that generally offer better sweat and odor protection.

You can consider substituting Anti-Sweat™ with one of the following Aluminum Zirconium options, depending on the desired level of protection:

• Aluminum Zirconium Trichlorohydrex GLY: Provides a moderate level of protection, better than Aluminum Chlorohydrate.
• Aluminum Zirconium Tetrachlorohydrex GLY: Offers a good level of protection.
• Aluminum Zirconium Pentachlorohydrex GLY: Provides a level of protection between Tetrachlorohydrex and Octachlorohydrex.
• Aluminum Zirconium Octachlorohydrex GLY: Offers the highest level of sweat and odor protection among these options.

You would typically use these alternatives at a similar percentage (around 15%) as the original Aluminum Chlorohydrate, but always refer to the specific product's recommended usage rate and FDA guidelines (generally up to 25%).

Your Formula Components

Your formula includes the following ingredients:

• Purified Water: The main solvent base.
• Anti-Sweat™ (Aluminum Chlorohydrate) or an Aluminum Zirconium alternative: The active antiperspirant/deodorant ingredient.
• LipidSoft™ Deo: Likely acts as an emollient or skin conditioning agent suitable for deodorant formulations.
• Flora Solve™ Clear: Functions as a solubilizer, likely to help incorporate the LipidSoft™ Deo and any fragrance into the water base.
• Phenoxyethanol SA: A preservative to protect the product from microbial growth.

Mixing Instructions

Follow these steps to prepare your Deodorant Spray:

1. Combine the Water and Anti-Sweat™ (or your chosen Aluminum Zirconium alternative) in a container. This is your water phase.
2. Combine LipidSoft™ Deo and Flora Solve™ Clear in a separate container. This is your oil phase.
3. Slowly add the oil phase mixture into the water phase while stirring until fully combined and dissolved.
4. Add Phenoxyethanol SA to the mixture and stir until dissolved.

The mixture may appear cloudy initially but should become clear after about 24 hours if using Aluminum Chlorohydrate.
