Formulation view A water-based system featuring aluminum chlorohydrate as the core antiperspirant for sweat reduction. Emulsification uses glyceryl stearate citrate and sodium stearoyl glutamate with cetearyl alcohol. Preserved by phenoxyethanol and benzyl alcohol, containing several allergenic fragrances. A formulator's note: high aluminum salt concentrations can be irritating; balancing efficacy with skin tolerance is key. The combination of fragrances and preservatives poses risks for sensitive skin, so patch testing is recommended.

- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Aluminum Chlorohydrate
- Aluminum salt antiperspirant; astringent to reduce sweat, potential irritation at high concentrations.
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Glyceryl Stearate Citrate
- Emulsifying stabilizer and emollient at 2–5%; provides creamy texture, check compatibility with anionic surfactants
- Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate
- Mild amino-acid surfactant, poor solubility, pairs with fatty alcohols, fine foam.
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Hydroxyethylcellulose
- Water-soluble cellulose ether for thickening and suspension stabilization; sensitive to ions, electrolytes reduce viscosity, use at pH 7-8.
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Benzyl Alcohol
- Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.
