About

A PEG-modified aluminum antiperspirant salt similar to the chlorohydrex variant — provides effective sweat control with slightly different release kinetics and skin feel.

Aluminum dichlorohydrex PEG is a coordination complex of aluminum chloride hydroxide (AlCl(OH)2) with polyethylene glycol. The PEG binds to the aluminum center, modifying its release and reducing the irritation potential compared to standard aluminum chloride. The skin benefits are those of conventional aluminum antiperspirants: sweat reduction and odor control. Regulatory constraints mirror those of other aluminum salts — EU SCCS advises limiting aluminum content in cosmetic products.
