Aluminium free antiperspirant
Hi Everyone.
Is there an antiperspirant active which does not contain Aluminium?Innovadex and special chem for cosmetics are not coming up with anything.My boss is adamant that I can use Zirconium but none of my suppliers can get hold of it.I am formulating a roll-on and using Tego Deo PY88 (Zinc Ricinoleate) as a deodorant.Any tips would be gratefully received.Sarah -

I have only ever seen Zirconium in combination with Aluminium (Aluminium Zirconium Tetrachlorhydrex gly).
I have seen a couple of non Aluminium antiperspirant actives that were based on a sage extract. I did a quick test with one but didn’t get great results in terms of antiperspirant action. I think the one I used was from Greentech.
Where are you located because the only antiperspirant actives approved in the US all contain aluminium (Antiperspirants are considered OTC drugs in the US). -
Thanks Ozgirl.
I am in New Zealand but we export 90% of our product to the US.Looks like I am going to have to really push back on marketing - they will have to decide which claim they want to make - antiperspirant or aluminium free. -
That’s exactly right, @Sarah. If you’re selling to the US, you either sell a deodorant without aluminium, or an antiperspirant with it. If you decide to sell a deodorant but also use some of the botanical antiperspirant actives, remember that you are not allowed to make any sort of perspiration-related claims at all without filing a NDA.

Thanks for the confirmation Bob.
eperfumes - looks like the hubersorb 600 is being used for a deoderant - I was looking for an antiperspirant - thanks for the link though
