Aluminum Zirconium Trichlorohydrex GLY
Aluminum Zirconium Trichlorohydrex GLY is a compound commonly found in cosmetics. It is primarily used as an antiperspirant agent due to its ability to reduce sweat production. This ingredient works by forming a gel-like layer on the skin's surface, which helps to block sweat glands and prevent excessive sweating.
Advantages:
Firstly, it acts as an effective antiperspirant, helping to reduce sweat production and keep the underarm area dry. This is particularly beneficial for individuals who experience excessive sweating. Secondly, it has strong odour-fighting properties, helping to neutralise unpleasant body odours and keep you feeling fresh throughout the day.
Disadvantages:
It is known to cause skin irritation and allergic reactions in some individuals. This can lead to redness, itching, and discomfort, which can be quite bothersome. Secondly, there have been concerns about the potential link between aluminum-based compounds and certain health issues, such as breast cancer and Alzheimer's disease. While more research is needed to establish a definitive connection, these concerns have raised caution among consumers.
Conclusion:
Generally the use of this ingredient at low does is unlikely to have significant health risks, but those with skin conditions should consider alternatives.
