Sweat and body smell are natural physiological phenomena, but they are often perceived as unpleasant. They play an important role in our everyday lives, as they can affect our self-confidence and social interaction.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Body smell is caused by the decomposition of sweat by bacteria present on the skin. The human body has two types of sweat glands: eccrine and apocrine. Eccrine sweat is watery and mainly serves the purpose of thermoregulation, while apocrine sweat, which becomes active during puberty, is more fatty and serves as a breeding ground for bacteria that are responsible for the characteristic body smell. The microorganisms on our skin, such as Staphylococcus spp. and Corynebacterium spp., break down the proteins and fatty acids contained in sweat, thereby producing odor molecules such as 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-hexanoic acid (HMHA) and various short-chain fatty acids.<\/p>\n

Our partner Symrise offers advanced solutions for the deodorant industry, including SymDeo\u00ae B125 and SymDeo\u00ae Next Gen, which are specifically designed to inhibit the activity of malodor-causing bacteria while protecting the skin’s microbiome. These active ingredients are not only effective, but also environmentally friendly and biodegradable, making them particularly attractive for sustainable cosmetic products.<\/p>\n

Customers expect a deodorant to not only be effective against sweat odor, but also to be gentle on the skin and provide long-lasting protection. Products labelled as “alcohol-free”, “long-lasting” and “dermatologically tested” are very popular because they offer safety and comfort. The development of products that address these needs, such as SymGuard\u00ae CD and SymClariol\u00ae for foot and oral care, demonstrates the importance of specialised and effective solutions.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Deodorant technology has evolved significantly, with an emphasis on developing products that not only inhibit body smell but also protect and promote the skin’s natural microbiome. Our partner Symrise’s SymDeo\u00ae PMD green and other advanced actives continue these trends by offering innovative approaches to malodor control that are both effective and environmentally friendly.<\/p>\n
