Why odaban® works better than regular deodorants
A regular deodorant masks unpleasant sweat odour with perfume.
odaban® effectively prevents sweat production, so bacteria have no breeding ground to cause the typical sweat smell.
Sweating? Stopped.
odaban® gel was specially developed for use on the face, hands, and feet.
Thanks to its gel texture, it is easy to dose, allows precise application, and is noticeably gentler on the skin.
Rather than merely masking sweat, odaban® works directly where sweat is produced: at the sweat glands.
Applied once in the evening, the gel works overnight to provide long-lasting dryness.
More than 250,000 sweat-free customers agree
Targeted sweat reduction
odaban® delivers powerful protection precisely where it’s needed.
Things you should keep in mind
odaban® can be used on the entire body. It is particularly effective for sweaty hands and feet.
Where can the antiperspirant be applied?
Where can the antiperspirant be applied?
The odaban® antiperspirant can be applied to the entire body. It must not come into contact with mucous membranes. It is important that odaban®, regardless of the area of application, is always applied immediately before bedtime on completely dry skin. Once the initial protection has built up, usually after three to five applications, odaban should only be used as needed (one to two times per week).
Application of the odaban® antiperspirant on the head
Application of the odaban® antiperspirant on the head
You can also use odaban® antiperspirant on the face. This is not a problem. However, odaban should not be applied to irritated or damaged skin. The odaban antiperspirant was originally developed only for the underarms and feet. Over time, however, various other areas of application have been identified. Many customers successfully use odaban on their face.
When applying odaban to the face, it should also only be applied in the evening. Never spray directly onto the face, instead, always apply odaban using a cotton pad or cosmetic pad (1–2 sprays are sufficient). Wash the treated skin as usual the next morning. For facial use, once per week is usually sufficient, or as needed.
Never treat the entire head with odaban—only individual affected areas—since sweat also has a cooling function. For sensitive skin, we recommend testing odaban on a small area first before applying it more broadly.
Use of odaban® antiperspirant during pregnancy or breastfeeding
Use of odaban® antiperspirant during pregnancy or breastfeeding
The odaban® antiperspirant is a “cosmetic product.” By law, cosmetic products must always be safe, including for expectant and breastfeeding mothers. Before its launch in Germany, odaban® underwent multiple safety assessments, all of which were positive. You can therefore use odaban® antiperspirant during pregnancy and breastfeeding without any concerns.
When odaban® antiperspirant should not be used
When odaban® antiperspirant should not be used
An antiperspirant should not be used during the day. The reason is simple: sweating increases during the day, which causes the active ingredient, aluminium chloride, to react with water and form a by-product that can lead to unpleasant skin irritation. Daytime use should therefore be avoided. It is also not advisable to apply an antiperspirant immediately after a fresh underarm shave, as this can cause very small injuries to the skin surface and may lead to skin irritation after application.
What should be avoided when using odaban® antiperspirant?
What should be avoided when using odaban® antiperspirant?
A very important aspect when using odaban® antiperspirant is that the skin must be completely dry at the time of application. There should be no residual moisture in the underarms. If any moisture remains, the product cannot work optimally, and it may also cause skin irritation, itching or burning.
Many first-time users of odaban® often still sweat a little in the evening, making it difficult to avoid residual moisture completely. In this case, we recommend applying odaban® immediately before bedtime and drying the underarms first with a little talcum powder or a hairdryer. This ensures that no moisture remains.
Another common mistake is applying too much odaban at once. One spray per underarm is sufficient. For sensitive skin, it is recommended to apply odaban® using a cotton or cosmetic pad. Any product residues should be washed off normally the next morning.
Once the initial protection is established, odaban should only be used once or twice per week. Frequent application should be avoided, as this can reduce effectiveness. Overuse can completely block the sweat gland openings, and accumulated sweat may eventually break through the blockage, causing increased sweating again.
If this occurs, odaban® should not be used for approximately two to three weeks. After this break, its effectiveness will return to the initial level.
Following these guidelines ensures that odaban remains a highly effective and safe product for long-term use.

Good to know
Causes and reasons of excessive sweating
The human body has about 3 million so-called eccrine sweat glands, which are responsible for heat regulation and thus protect the body from overheating. They sit at the transition from the dermis to the subcutaneous tissue. But how exactly does heat regulation work? That´s quite easy. The wet sweat that comes out of the pores evaporates on our skin and a cooling effect occurs. One also speaks of evaporative cooling.Sweating is therefore a vital process. When generating energy alone, when nutrients are burned, so much heat is generated that the body temperature inside the body should actually rise by about one degree per hour. Heat, physical exertion and excitement can also increase body temperature. To ensure that none of these factors lead to the body overheating, the body produces sweat – our natural cooling agent.In some people, however, the sweat glands produce an unnecessarily large amount of coolant. They sweat continuously and extremely heavily, without being subjected to any particular physical exertion, for example. The actual causes and reasons for excessive sweating are varied and often difficult to identify. Profuse sweating of unknown cause For reasons that have not yet been clarified, the sweat glands of some people produce more sweat than is actually necessary for thermoregulation and energy production. It is assumed that the sweat glands are overactive or the sympathetic nervous system, which controls the production of the sweat glands, is overactive. Those affected often sweat paroxysms and up to several times a day. The sweat attacks are usually limited to certain body regions, such as armpits, soles of the feet, back, scalp or forehead. For some people, even minor stimuli are enough and the body begins to sweat. For others, however, the sweating occurs suddenly and without a prior trigger. The intensity of sweating also varies significantly: the symptoms range from beads of sweat on the forehead and dark sweat stains under the armpits to downright torrents. Those affected are also usually only overtaken by the unpleasant sweat attacks during the day. At night, on the other hand, they often have no complains. Stress as a trigger for profuse sweating Stress and mental strain are considered to be one of the main causes of heavy sweating. Almost everyone knows this phenomenon in a weakened form: if you are tense, excited or nervous, your body can start sweating. Damp, trembling hands and a few small beads of sweat on the hairline are a completely normal reaction of the body to a stressful situation.On the other hand, if someone is permanently under electricity, this can also affect sweating. Many people who are under constant stress complain about sudden sweating, even at night. The psyche plays a decisive role in this context. Constant stress has a negative effect on mental well-being and can lead to depressive moods, sleep disorders and nervousness, among other things. As a result of the psychological stress, the body releases more stress hormones, which in turn give the command to sweat. Hormonal changes during pregnancy and menopause In addition, hormonal changes can also be the reason for increased sweating. Heavy sweating is therefore not uncommon during pregnancy or menopause. Especially during the menopause, many women complain about sudden sweating and increased sweating. It is assumed that the reason is to be found in the falling estrogen levels. This upsets the hormonal balance and the body's heat regulation functions inaccurately: the brain sends a cooling signal when it really shouldn't. Heavy sweating can also occur during pregnancy. Here, too, the hormonal changes in the body play a decisive role. The female body no longer has to supply one person with sufficient nutrients, but two. The result: blood circulation is stimulated and body temperature rises. In order to compensate for the rise in temperature and protect the body from overheating, sweat production is increased. If you feel unwell, you can counteract it with light clothing made from natural fibers and a conscious, balanced diet - but in principle this is a completely normal bodily reaction. Unhealthy Lifestyle In addition to the causes just mentioned, lifestyle often plays a major role. In order to counteract heavy sweating, you should first take a close look at your own lifestyle. Am I moving enough? Am I doing sport? Am I eating healthy? Am I too stressed? These are all factors that can affect sweat production. It is often caused by spicy foods, too much coffee or alcohol which bring sweat production into high gear. Obesity is also a common cause, because the extra pounds make even small movements more difficult, so that the body reacts to even small exertion. However, if you sweat excessively or notice a change despite a healthy lifestyle, you can ask your doctor or dermatologist for advice.

Why Do We Sweat?
Everyone strives to develop themselves and to increase their individual quality of life to the greatest possible extent. Excessive sweating is more than an annoying problem in this regard, as it often severely restricts personal freedom. People who suffer from this problem often withdraw, because nobody likes to endure the pitying looks of others. Home remedies such as sage tea or alternating baths usually only have a short-term effect or even no effect at all. causes of sweatingSweat production is basically a protective function of the body, which is intended to prevent the organism from overheating. Another reason for the sometimes violent activity of the sweat glands can be stressful situations. The so-called cold sweat runs down your back. This is a reflex that occurs in particularly stressful situations. A chemical process in the body is responsible for the fact that we sweat particularly heavily in these situations. Blood sugar rises, cortisone is released, which leads to an adrenaline rush. This reflex was often vital in the Stone Age, because it sharpens the senses, releases energy and we start to sweat. The Stone Age people were able to escape the impending danger. Today the reflex is rather annoying. The high level of adrenaline in the blood ensures that the skin is less supplied with blood and cools down. Sweat has a hard time evaporating on cool skin, which is why it is also called cold sweat. We cannot stop the reflex, but we can contain the negative symptoms.Some people tend to carry the stress of the day with them to sleep and therefore suffer from sweating, especially at night. The reason for this is often the stress of the day, which is reduced during sleep. It gets very uncomfortable when you wake up in the middle of the night and find yourself in sheets soaked in sweat. Unrestorative sleep puts additional stress on the body and can also cause a real problem for your partner.People who suffer from excessive sweat production are often stuck in a vicious cycle. The stress factor they are exposed to increases immeasurably as the fear of sweating triggers renewed stress, which in turn leads to sweating. Relaxation techniques and meditation only help to a limited extent. In order to escape this vicious circle, a reliable and fast-acting remedy against sweating is necessary. Furthermore, there are also phases of life in which it is quite normal to sweat more. Female menopause is just one example. In this phase, which is part of every woman's life, the hormonal changes in the body ensure that excessive sweat is sometimes produced. So-called hot flashes are the result. The sweating cannot be controlled and therefore often leads to very unpleasant situations, especially the face is often affected. Most women are relieved after the body's adjustment phase and the sweat glands return to their normal activity. Nevertheless, there are also some women for whom this is unfortunately not the case. Sweat production does not reduce completely again. In order to lead a carefree, active life and to maintain the youthful quality of life, an efficient remedy against sweating is advisable.

Antiperspirant
What is an antiperspirant? An antiperspirant inhibits perspiration. Antiperspirants have been used to prevent excessive sweating for over 100 years. Your advantage over other measures is the purely superficial mode of action. Aluminum chloride, the active ingredient in the Odaban antiperspirant, constricts the outlets of the sweat glands in the skin. As a result, less sweat is secreted, skin and clothing stay dry. The insolubility of the aluminum complex prevents it from being absorbed into the deeper layers of the skin, effectively limiting the treatment to the top layer of the skin. The effectiveness of aluminum chloride as an antiperspirant was proven as early as 1972 by an experimental study by the skin specialist Prof. Dr. Hagen Tronnier and his colleague Rentschler demonstrated. They were able to show that the number of active eccrine sweat glands decreased by an average of 70% and sweating by 64%. How does an antiperspirant work?When applied to the skin, aluminum chloride causes the skin cells to contract (astringency). The outlets of the sweat glands are narrowed in this way. The aluminum chloride then forms a complex that can be thought of as a small plug of sweat, sebum and skin cells. This complex closes the exits of the sweat glands so that no sweat can get onto the skin. After a few days, the astringency is eliminated and the effect of the antiperspirant wears off. No sweat - no smellIf sweat comes into contact with special microorganisms that are part of the natural skin flora, sweat odor develops. Corynebacteria (especially in men) and micrococci (especially in women) break down sweat. In the process, unpleasant-smelling substances are formed, which are perceived as sour to pungent.But if sweat is not secreted in the first place, it does not form any odors. As an antiperspirant, Odaban promotes a naturally pleasant skin odor.

Application
Application of the Odaban antiperspirantThe Odaban antiperspirant can be used all over the body. It shouldn´t come into contact with mucous membranes. It is important that the Odaban antiperspirant, regardless of where it is applied to the body, is always applied immediately before bedtime and on perfectly dry skin. As soon as initial protection has built up, which is usually the case after three to five uses, the Odaban antiperspirant should only be used as needed (once or twice a week). Applying the Odaban antiperspirant to the headYou can also use the Odaban antiperspirant on your face. This is not a problem. Odaban should not be used on irritated or irritated skin. The Odaban antiperspirant was originally only developed for the armpit and foot area. In the course of time, however, a wide variety of areas of application have emerged. We have many customers who use Odaban very successfully on their faces. Odaban should also only be applied in the evening when used on the face. Please never spray directly into the face, but always apply Odaban with the help of a cotton or cosmetic pad (1-2 sprays are sufficient). Please wash the treated skin areas normally the next morning. For use on the face, it is usually sufficient to use it once a week or as needed. Please never treat the entire head with Odaban, but only individual affected skin areas, since sweat also has a cooling function. If you have sensitive skin, we recommend testing the Odaban antiperspirant on a small area before applying it over a large area. Use of Odaban antiperspirant during pregnancy or breastfeedingThe Odaban antiperspirant is a "cosmetic product". According to the law, cosmetic products must always be safe. Also for expectant and breastfeeding mothers. Before it was launched in Germany, Odaban was subjected to several safety assessments, all of which were positive. You can therefore use the Odaban antiperspirant without hesitation use during pregnancy and lactation. When not to use the Odaban antiperspirantAn antiperspirant should not be used during the day. The simple reason for this is that we sweat more during the day. As a result, the active ingredient aluminum chloride reacts with water to form a by-product and unpleasant skin irritation can occur. You should therefore refrain from using it during the day. It is also not advisable to use an antiperspirant after you have just shaved your armpits, as this leads to extremely small injuries to the skin's surface and can cause skin irritation after using an antiperspirant. What should you avoid when using the Odaban antiperspirant?A very important aspect when using Odaban antiperspirant is that the skin must be absolutely dry at the time of application. There must be no residual moisture in the armpits. If there is still residual moisture in the armpits, the effect of the product cannot unfold optimally, and the residual moisture can cause skin irritation, itching or burning. Many users who use the Odaban antiperspirant for the first time often have the problem that they still sweat a little in the evening, i.e. that a certain residual moisture can hardly be avoided. Here we recommend using the Odaban antiperspirant immediately before going to bed and drying the armpits with a little talcum powder or a hair dryer beforehand. In this way you can ensure that there is no residual moisture in the armpits.Another mistake that is often made when applying is that too much of the Odaban antiperspirant is applied per application. 1 spray per armpit is sufficient. If you have sensitive skin, we always recommend applying it with a cotton or cosmetic pad. Please wash off product residues normally the next morning. The Odaban antiperspirant should only be used once or twice a week after an "initial protection" has been built up. In addition, the Odaban antiperspirant should not be used too often, as this means that the spray cannot achieve the desired effect. The reason for this is that if used too often, the sweat gland outlets are completely "blocked". The sweat that collects behind the blockage will eventually break through that blockage. As a result, sweating increases again. Should this nevertheless be the case, then the Odaban antiperspirant must not be used for a period of approx. two to three weeks. After this application-free interval, the effect will be the same as when you first started using it. Thus, Odaban remains a very effective, safe product for a long time.

Effect
antiperspirant effect Approximately 1-2% of people in Germany are affected by excessive sweat production. Those affected usually sweat without a direct trigger, unpredictably and more than would be necessary to regulate the body's own temperature. The sweating usually occurs locally, e.g. in the armpits, on the soles of the feet or in the intimate area, more rarely on the whole body. This is how antiperspirants work against excessive sweatingSweat alone is virtually odorless.The main cause of sweat odor is the excretion of bacteria that live on the skin and decompose the sweat there. Antiperspirants are used to narrow the exits of the sweat glands and therefore have an astringent function. Perspiration is stopped and the skin stays dry. In addition, the odor-causing bacteria are deprived of food by this process, thus reducing the production of unpleasant-smelling excretions.The Odaban effect is produced by the astringency, i.e. the "contracting" effect, of the ingredient aluminum chloride. Overnight, this combines with the protein on the skin's surface to form an insoluble and inactive bond that partially blocks the outlets of the sweat ducts as a plug. The next morning, the treated skin area can be washed without losing the Odaban protection, which remains for several days. The aluminum-protein complex formed is so insoluble that there is absolutely no absorption of aluminum into the body system. Therefore, Odaban is completely safe even in long-term use.The effect of the Odaban antiperspirant has been convincing for over 50 years. Because in addition to aluminum chloride in dissolved form, the Odaban Spray also contains skin-care ingredients. This not only effectively regulates and reduces sweating, but also prevents skin irritation. Because of this, Odaban is recommended by numerous German skin clinics and dermatologists around the world. All products from the Odaban family are suitable for all skin types and are particularly easy to use.The antiperspirant effect of the Odaban spray has also been tested and proven by a dermatological institute. 20 subjects, all of whom suffered from increased sweat production, were treated with the Odaban antiperspirant once a day in the evening for 3 days. The other armpit was left untreated throughout the trial and served as a control. In order to increase perspiration, the subjects had to sit in a sauna and also drink lime blossom tea.After only three days of use, the test persons showed a reduction in the amount of sweat of up to 90%, with the average sweat reduction being around 71%. The excellent effect of the antiperspirant was thus immediately confirmed.
