100% natural origin · ISO 16128

Is Aluminum Bromohydrate natural?

Yes. Aluminum and bromide/hydroxide are mineral counter-ions, treated as natural origin like other aluminum salts.

How we scored it

Al/Br/OH inorganic salt; all atoms mineral-origin per mineral counter-ion convention.
What counts. ISO 16128-2 scores the atoms that remain in the final ingredient. Reagents, solvents, catalysts and protecting groups used during manufacture leave no mass behind and are not counted.

Where it comes from

Manufactured from aluminum hydroxide and hydrobromic acid, both mineral-derived inorganic feedstocks. No organic or petrochemical route is used.

In plain English

An antiperspirant and astringent mineral salt of aluminum and bromine, chemically similar to the more common aluminum chlorohydrate. It works by forming a gel that temporarily reduces sweat flow.
