Quality Control

Our Aluminum Chlorohydrex is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Quality is verified through a comprehensive suite of analytical tests including assay for aluminum and chloride content, pH, and limits for heavy metals. We provide full traceability and Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available for every shipment. Production can adhere to relevant cosmetic and personal care industry standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product performance.
