Question Are any deodorants that contain aluminum chloride hexahydrate (to treat hyperhydrosis) available in India? (Of similar formulation as Drysol, Xerac, Anhydrol Forte, Driclor, etc.) If there are, then please provide the names.
Thank you.
Answer Hi M,
Deodorants in India come under the category of cosmetics and under the law they are not required to declare the constituents of the formulation. For this reason they do not declare the contents. Consequently I do not know which brand contains what. I therefore regret I cannot give you this information.
