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 sweating
Sweat 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.

Causes and reasons of excessive sweating

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?

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

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.
