Product Description
ACH (Aluminum Chlorohydrate) in Cosmetics
Aluminum Chlorohydrate (ACH), an inorganic compound, is primarily used as an astringent and antiperspirant in cosmetics, particularly in antiperspirant products such as deodorant sprays and roll-ons.
Key Characteristics and Advantages of ACH (Aluminum Chlorohydrate)
1. High-Efficiency Antiperspirancy
Efficacy: ACH is a potent antiperspirant active ingredient, more effective than some organic astringents (e.g., alum),
making it ideal for heavy sweaters.
Onset and Duration: Typically takes effect within several hours, with effects lasting 12-24 hours.
2. Low Cost and High Stability
Industrial Benefits: Readily available, low-cost raw material with excellent stability under high-salt or high-temperature
conditions, suitable for large-scale production.
3. Synergistic Antibacterial Action
Odor Suppression: By reducing sweat secretion, ACH indirectly inhibits bacterial growth; combined with antibacterial
ingredients (e.g., aluminum chlorohydrex, zinc salts), it enhances deodorizing effects.

Application
Core Applications of ACH (Aluminum Chlorohydrate) in Cosmetics
1. Antiperspirants/Deodorants
Mechanism:
ACH works by constricting the openings of sweat gland ducts on the skin's surface, reducing sweat secretion. Its aluminum ions (Al
3+) react with electrolytes in sweat to form a temporary gel-like substance, physically blocking sweat ducts and inhibiting sweat release.
Common Formulations:
Antiperspirant sprays/roll-ons: Applied directly to Sweaty areas (e.g., underarms), forming a film upon drying to exert effects. Deodorant body lotions: Combined with fragrances to suppress odor (caused by bacterial decomposition of sweat).
2. Astringents (Topical Use)
Applications:
Oil-control products (e.g., toners, serums): Used on oily skin or the T-zone to shrink pores, reduce sebum production, and improve skin greasiness.
Acne treatments:
Low concentrations of ACH may be added to acne gels or masks to alleviate redness/swelling and reduce exudation through astringent effects.
Usage Tips and Alternatives
1. Recommendations for Consumers
Suitable Users:
Ideal for hyperhidrosis (axillary odor) patients or those troubled by excessive sweating; healthy individuals may use as
needed.
Avoidance Groups: Pregnant/lactating women (use with caution-while no Teratogenicity evidence exists, aluminum may be secreted in
breast milk), and sensitive skin types.
Usage Frequency:
Avoid daily continuous use unless necessary; use every other day or as needed to reduce skin stress.
Antiperspirants are best applied at night (minimal sweat during sleep allows aluminum salts to act fully and reduces
friction irritation).
2. Alternative Ingredients and Products
Natural Alternatives:
Alum (potassium aluminum sulfate): Traditional natural antiperspirant with milder astringency and lower irritation,
suitable for light sweating.
Magnesium/zinc salts (e.g., magnesium chloride, zinc oxide): Reduce odor via antibacterial effects but have limited
antiperspirant efficacy.
Plant extracts (e.g., witch hazel, sage): Offer mild astringency, ideal for sensitive skin's daily oil control.
Aluminum-Free Antiperspirants:
Some brands use aluminum chlorohydrex or ammonium aluminum sulfate as alternatives, or employ silicone polymers to
physically absorb sweat, claiming gentler formulas.
