The invention provides a zinc-lysine complex having the formula [Zn(C6H14N2O2) 2Cl]+ Cl ¯ having antibacterial and antiperspirant properties, together with personal care compositions comprising the complex, and methods of making and using these complexes and compositions. The application discloses a general reaction for formation of such complexes by mixing a Zn source with Lysine in 1:2 ratio: ZnO + 2 (Lysine 'HCI) - > [Zn(Lysine)2CI ] +CI-⋠( H2O)2. |
