Question
I would like to inquire about the use of Anti-Sweat™ (Aluminum Chlorohydrate, 100% Powder).
- Can this ingredient be incorporated into anhydrous (water-free) stick formulations?
- What types of oils or bases does it disperse well in for such formulations?
Answer
Using Anti-Sweat™ in Anhydrous Stick Formulations
Yes, Anti-Sweat™ (Aluminum Chlorohydrate, 100% Powder) can be used in anhydrous (water-free) stick formulations. Our product description specifically mentions its suitability for anhydrous antiperspirant and deodorant cosmetic formulations, such as roll-ons or sticks.
Anti-Sweat™ is an exceptionally dispersible powder type. For anhydrous stick formulations, it disperses well in bases that are silicone-based or alcohol-based. The powder itself does not dissolve in the anhydrous formula but will activate and work upon contact with the user's sweat.
This makes it a suitable choice for creating effective water-free antiperspirant stick products.
