What is Aluminium Chloride?
Although many people use the terms 'antiperspirant' and 'deodorant' interchangeably, they are not the same. An antiperspirant is an astringent meant to decrease eccrine and apocrine sweat secretion, while deodorants are designed to remove and mask odor from the axillae. The exact mechanism of action of antiperspirants is unknown, but several theories have been proposed. The most widely held position is that the metal salts contained in antiperspirants physically obstruct the ductal opening of the sweat gland.
Aluminum chloride in higher concentrations than that found in over-the-counter products is effective for many people with hyperhidrosis.
