About Aluminum Hydroxide

Aluminum Hydroxide is an ingredient in the form of a salt formed by an acid and a base.[1] In cosmetics, it is used to reduce friction on the skin or hair and add a smooth feel, attract moisture to the formulation and skin surface to help maintain hydration, and reduce light transmission so the contents appear less translucent.[2] It is also used to help protect the skin from external factors and control the viscosity and flow of a formulation.[2]
