Abstract: Basic aluminum chloride (BAC) and aluminum zirconium antiperspirant active of enhanced efficacy are proposed. The acid activated aluminum-zirconium composition having low contents of both glycine and zirconium with Band III/II ration of less than 0.5 is found to provide higher efficacy than the corresponding heat activated aluminum zirconium antiperspirant salt with high HPLC Band III/II ratio and having high contents of both glycine and zirconium at similar M/Cl ratio. According to present invention, the interactions between amino acid such as glycine and aluminum species in BAC and aluminum-zirconium solutions greatly reduce the effective amount of aluminum monomer species, which attributed to the reduced efficacy and stability of the corresponding solutions. The aluminum and aluminum-zirconium antiperspirant salt compositions of enhanced efficacy have low molar ratio of amino acid/or buffer to metal(s) of 0.2 and preferably less than 0.15, with metal(s) to chloride molar ratio of at least 1.1.
