What does it do?

Aluminum chloride hexahydrate is an antiperspirant ingredient used in dermatological formulations, primarily for managing excessive sweating. This ingredient works by temporarily blocking the outlets of sweat glands, thereby reducing sweat secretion.

Aluminum chloride hexahydrate constricts and obstructs the ducts of sweat glands, leading to a decrease in sweat production. As a result, there is a reduction in sweat discharge from the skin surface, which diminishes body odor and moisture.
