What does this ingredient do in an antiperspirant?
A gelatin-based polymer crosslinked with glutaraldehyde. Its INCI function is skin conditioning.
Part of a system, not a label in isolation
In antiperspirants it appears as a supporting formula ingredient. The sources checked do not confirm that it reduces sweating on its own.
No separate CIR conclusion on this ingredient was found in the sources checked. In the EU, every finished cosmetic product must pass a mandatory safety assessment before it is placed on the market.
The sources checked hold no irritation data for this specific ingredient; reactions to a finished formula are individual.
It is not plain food gelatin: chemical crosslinking makes it a separate ingredient with its own INCI name.
