Odaban antiperspirant the first of the 20% aluminium chloride hexahydrate products to be produced commercially in 1972. This effective but aggressive aluminium salt is degraded by water / perspiration to produce acids that can irritate the skin during treatment, commercial roll-on products exacerbate this problem through ingress of perspiration via the roller ball. Odaban antiperspirant is dispensed from an hermetically sealed pump spray that enables accurate dosage to most skin areas and also prevents product degradation during treatment.
Odaban is manufactured by Bracey's Pharmaceuticals Ltd, Manchester, UK.
