About

Another PEG-complexed aluminum salt in the antiperspirant family — functions identically to its chlorohydrex and dichlorohydrex cousins with comparable safety profile.

Aluminum sesquichlorohydrex PEG is a PEG-complexed aluminum salt with the nominal formula Al2Cl1.5(OH)4.5 coordinated to polyethylene glycol. The 'sesqui' designation indicates an intermediate aluminum-to-chloride ratio between the mono- and di-chlorohydrate forms. PEG complexation slows the release of aluminum ions into the sweat duct, providing sustained efficacy. The safety profile is consistent with other aluminum antiperspirant actives, with EU restrictions on total aluminum applying.
