Clear Gels
Antiperspirant clear gels were introduced in the 1990s. These products are water-in-oil emulsions in which the refractive indexes of the continuous and dispersed phases are identically matched to achieve optical clarity. A silicone surfactant is required for optimum stability. As the active is in the internal aqueous phase, Aluminum Zirconium types are recommended to obtain optimum clinical efficacy.
SummitReheis offers the following suggested liquid actives for antiperspirant clear gels (in decreasing order of expected clinical performance):
| Actives: | Description: |
|---|---|
| UltraZAG 88L | Enhanced Aluminum Zirconium TetrachlorohydrexGly (45% solution) with optimum zirconium polymer distributions and a metals to chloride ratio of 1.15:1 |
| Reach AZP-955 CPG | Enhanced Aluminum Zirconium TetrachlorohydrexGly (40% solution) stabilized with propylene glycol and a metals to chloride ratio of 1.1:1 |
| AZG-368 | Aluminum Zirconium Tetrachlorohydrex gly (35% solution) with a metals to chloride ratio of 1.4:1 |
| Reach AZO-956G | Economical Aluminum Zirconium OctachlorohydrexGly (45% solution) with low zirconium and a metals to chloride ratio of 1.25:1 |
