Aluminum Zirconium Octachlorohydrex Gly
Aluminum zirconium octachlorohydrex gly is complex that consists of aluminum zirconium octachlorohydrate and glycine. It is an active antiperspirant agent,. It diffuses into the sweat pores and prevents perspiration (sweat) from leaving the pores. The anhydrous form of the compound also has water-absorbing properties. Currently, the FDA allows the inclusion of this substance in concentrations of up to 20% in antiperspirants. Interestingly, this chemical has been studied in relation to its possible impact on the microbiome of the human underarms. — DrugBank
