[edit] Uses: in anti-perspirants?

• Aluminium chloride is listed as an ingredient in many anti-perspirants yet this is not addressed in the article. Could someone add this, please?--Hraefen ^Talk 04:38, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Yes, we should have a mention: the page is linked from deodorant and hyperhidrosis. The product used in many (if not all) antiperspirants is a mixed chloride-hydroxide, so this would have to be explained... I might even get round to it myself! --Physchim62 (talk) 14:44, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
