By Application
Sticks/Solids
Anhydrous sticks are the most popular antiperspirant form by far in North America. They are stearyl alcohol/ volatile silicone suspension products in which fine particle size actives are uniformly suspended in the organic matrix. The system is unusual in that in the solid phase, the system consists of a lattice of stearyl alcohol which encases the volatile silicone so that syneresis does not occur. The current state of the art is sticks that leave no visible white residue on skin after application. Aluminum Zirconium actives are typically used to obtain maximum performance from the waxy matrix base vehicle.
SummitReheis offers the following suggested powder actives for antiperspirant sticks (in decreasing order of expected clinical performance):
| Actives: | Description: |
|---|---|
| UltraZAG A77 | Enhanced Aluminum ZirconiumTetrachlorohydrexGly with maximum enhanced aluminum and zirconium polymer distributions and low metals: chloride ratio of 1.15:1 |
| AAZG-7167 | Enhanced Aluminum ZirconiumTetrachlorohydrexGly with maximum aluminum performance through peak 4 enrichment with good zirconium control and 85% minimum < 10 microns |
| Reach AZP-908 | Enhanced Aluminum Zirconium TetrachlorohydrexGly with 85% minimum < 10 microns |
| AZG-370 | Aluminum Zirconium TetrachlorohydrexGly with 85% minimum < 10 microns |
| AZG-3113 | Economical Aluminum Zirconium TrichlorohydrexGly with good skin and fragrance compatibility while giving a very white stick |
| Micro-Dry 331 | Aluminum Chlorohydrate with 85% minimum < 10 microns |
