Usage Guidelines for Antiperspirant / Deodorant Base Cream
Question
Can the `Antiperspirant / Deodorant Base Cream` be used directly as a finished underarm deodorant or antiperspirant? Does it provide effective sweat and odor control on its own, or does it require the addition of specific active ingredients to function effectively?
Answer
The Antiperspirant / Deodorant Base Cream (ID: 124994) is a base cream specifically designed for formulating underarm products. It is not intended to be used alone as a finished deodorant or antiperspirant.
To make it effective at controlling sweat and odor, you must add active ingredients. The recommended usage is:
- Base Cream: 85-90%
- Active Ingredients: 10-15%
Recommended active ingredients to add to this base include:
- Anti-Sweat™ (Aluminum Chlorohydrate, 100% Powder) (ID: 615)
- Aluminum Zirconium Trichlorohydrex GLY (ID: 35426)
- Aluminum Zirconium Tetrachlorohydrex GLY (ID: 35427)
If used alone, the base will provide moisture and a light, quick-drying texture, but it will lack the necessary components to effectively suppress sweat or neutralize body odor. If you are looking for a ready-to-use product, you may consider Clinical Protection Antiperspirant Deodorant (ID: 252947) instead.
