Antiperspirant and Deodorant
Arizona Chemical's bio-sustainable gelation chemistry has utility in the formulation of antiperspirant and deodorant products. The ability to make clear gels or emulsions of common silicones and glycols coupled with a high degree of water and sweat resistance make SYLVACLEAR™ polymers a good choice for the backbone of an antiperspirant or deodorant system. These gelled systems have good compatibility with the actives, salts and fragrances typically used APDO formulation.
