How antiperspirants work
Sweat alone is almost odorless. The main cause of sweat odor is secretions from bacteria that live on the skin and break down the sweat there. Antiperspirants are used to constrict the sweat gland openings and therefore have an astringent function. Sweat production is interrupted and the skin remains dry. In addition, this process deprives the odor-causing bacteria of their food, thereby reducing the production of unpleasant-smelling secretions.
The odaban® effect
It is produced by the astringency, that is, the "contracting" effect, of the active ingredient aluminum chloride. This binds overnight with the protein on the skin surface to form an insoluble and inactive compound that partially blocks the openings of the sweat glands as a plug. The next morning, the treated skin area can be washed without losing the odaban® protection, which remains effective for several days. The formed aluminum-protein complex is so insoluble that absolutely no absorption of aluminum into the body system occurs. Therefore, odaban® is completely safe even with long-term use.
For over 40 years
The effectiveness of odaban® antiperspirant has been convincing for over 40 years. In addition to aluminum chloride in dissolved form, the odaban® spray also contains skin-caring ingredients. This not only effectively regulates and reduces sweating, but also prevents skin irritation. For this reason, odaban® is recommended by numerous German dermatology clinics and dermatologists worldwide. All products from the odaban® family are suitable for every skin type and particularly easy to apply.
