Aloxicoll® LR

Activated ALOXICOLL® LR is an enhanced efficacy antiperspirant active, providing improved sweat reduction over standard Aluminum Chlorohydrate powder, ALOXICOLL® PF40. The increase in efficacy is attributed to an activation step, which causes a change in the polymer distribution. This can be measured by HPLC. A shift of polymers from bands 1 and 2 to band 3 indicates an enhanced sweat reduction. Activated ALOXICOLL® LR powder is a special, “low residue” active, which considerably reduces the level of visible deposits on the skin when used in formulations.

Features & Benefits

Product Properties

Chemical Properties

Activated ALOXICOLL® powders are stable under anhydrous conditions. Aqueous / alcoholic solutions of ALOXICOLL® are slightly acidic. At pH values > 5, insoluble Al(OH)3 precipitates out. On drying, the residue decomposes to HCl and Al(OH)3. On further heating, to temperatures >100°C, Al(OH)3 releases water.

Physiological Properties

According to the application area and concentration applied, ALOXICOLL® exhibits sweat reducing, deodorant, astringent, antibacterial and antiphlogistic properties.

Applications & Uses

Recommended Uses & Known Applications

Activated ALOXICOLL® LR powder is used in anhydrous formulations, e.g. in aerosols, roll-ons, soft solids, creams and sticks, where a reduction in the visible white deposits on the skin is required, as well as maximum antiperspirant efficacy. The enhanced efficacy can only be maintained in anhydrous systems, and contact with water should be avoided prior to application to the skin.
