How antiperspirants work
Sweat alone is virtually odourless. The main cause of sweat odour is the excretion of bacteria that live on the skin and break down sweat there. Antiperspirants are used to narrow the sweat gland outlets and therefore have an astringent function. Sweat production is interrupted and the skin remains dry. This process also deprives the odour-causing bacteria of their food source, thereby reducing the production of unpleasant-smelling secretions.
The odaban® effect
is produced by the astringency, i.e. the ‘contracting’ effect, of the ingredient aluminium chloride. Overnight, this combines with the protein on the skin's surface to form an insoluble and inactive bond, which acts as a plug, partially blocking the exits of the sweat ducts. The next morning, the treated skin area can be washed without losing the odaban® protection, which remains effective for several days. The aluminium-protein complex formed is so insoluble that absolutely no aluminium is absorbed into the body. This makes odaban® completely safe for long-term use.
For more than 50 years,
The effectiveness of odaban® antiperspirant has been proven for more than 50 years. In addition to aluminium chloride in a dissolved form, the odaban® spray also contains skin-care ingredients. This not only effectively regulates and reduces perspiration, but it also prevents skin irritation. For this reason, odaban® is recommended by numerous german skin clinics and dermatologists around the world. All products in the odaban® range are suitable for all skin types and are particularly easy to use.
