Aluminum chlorohydrates (ACH) are the active ingredients used in most antiperspirant products. ACH is a water soluble aluminum complex which contains several oligomeric polycations of aluminum with degrees of polymerization up to Al13 or Al30. The characterization and quantification of ACH oligo-cations remain a challenging issue of primary interest for developing structure/antiperspirant activity correlations, and for controlling the ACH ingredients. In this work, highly repeatable capillary electrophoresis (CE) separation of Al3+, Al13 and Al30 oligomers contained in ACH samples was obtained at pH 4.8, owing to a careful choice of the background electrolyte counter-ion and chromophore, capillary I.D. and capillary coating. This is the first reported separation of Al13 and Al30 oligomers in conditions that are compatible with the aluminum speciation in ACH solution or in conditions of antiperspirant application/formulation. Al13 and Al30 effective charge numbers were also determined from the sensitivity of detection in indirect UV detection mode. The relative mass proportion of Al13 compared to Al13 + Al30 could be determined in different aluminum chlorohydrate samples. Due to its simplicity, repeatability/reproducibility, minimal sample preparation and mild analytical conditions, CE appears to be a promising analytical separation technique for the characterization of ACH materials and for the study of structure/antiperspirant activity correlations.
