Aluminum acetate (Cat No.: M070156) is a white, water-soluble salt formed by the reaction of aluminum hydroxide with acetic acid. It commonly exists as basic aluminum diacetate and is widely used in medical and cosmetic applications for its astringent, antiseptic, and anti-inflammatory properties. Often formulated as a topical solution or compress, it helps soothe skin irritations, rashes, and insect bites. Aluminum acetate is also used in textile dyeing as a mordant and in water treatment processes due to its flocculating abilities.
