Men or woman, every individual wants to look good, smell good and feel good. Often, we are faced with the decision of whether to buy a deodorant or antiperspirant. Once you understand the difference between the two, choosing one that works for you becomes easy.
Both deodorants and antiperspirants are used to eliminate body odour and gives you confidence that you smell good. Every day, our body produces sweat from glands under the surface of the skin. Sweat is made up of proteins, water, potassium, sodium etc. and it is odourless. Body odour occurs when sweat mingles with certain bacteria living in the skin.
Now let’s look at the difference between deodorants and antiperspirants.
Antiperspirant is a subclass of deodorants; it contains aluminium to actively block sweat formation. It is a gel-like substance to reduce the amount of sweat that the body produces. Some of the antiperspirant contains alcohol and help the active ingredient to dry faster and create a pleasant, cool feeling.
Deodorants are personal care products that are applied to the body to minimize the odour caused by the bacteria. It does not block pores to inhibit perspiration. Deodorants are generally formulated into a solid, aerosol or liquid base. Alcohol is the main ingredient in most deodorants that kills both good and bad bacteria and controls the body smell.
Two most commonly used ingredients of deodorant and antiperspirant are alcohol or aluminium.
