Deodorants
Subcategories
A deodorant is a substance applied to the body to prevent body odor caused by the bacterial breakdown of perspiration in the underarm area, feet, and other areas of the body. A subgroup of deodorants, and antiperspirants, affect odor as well as prevent sweating by affecting sweat glands. Antiperspirants are personal hygiene products designed to control sweating and body odor. Antiperspirants contain ingredients that control sweat and body odor safely and effectively. They are readily available on the market as sprays (aerosol), sticks, creams, or roll-ons.
