What does this ingredient do in an antiperspirant?

It creates an even sensory layer and can help reduce tackiness or friction. It does not reduce sweat in the way an antiperspirant active ingredient does.

Part of a system, not a label in isolation

It is found in roll-ons, sticks and creams. Its role concerns the texture and comfort of the finished formula.

Regulatory and scientific context

What sensitive skin should consider

It is generally inert on the skin, although an individual reaction to the finished product is possible.

Do not confuse with
