Odor-absorbing agents eliminate odors. Generally, they are tied to active disinfectants which together reinforce activity in deodorants.
Among odor-absorbing agents:
• Citronellyl Methyl Crotonate
• Zinc Ricinoleate
• Zeolithe
N.B.
Disagreeable odor does not come from sweat itself, but from its degradation by bacteria present on skin surface.
Three means exist to rid bad odors:
• Acting on sweat secretion, through the use of antiperspirant agents (or antitranspirants).
• Acting on bacterial flora to avoid sweat degradation, through the use of antiseptic deodorant agents.
• Acting on already decomposed sweat, through the use of odor-absorbing agents (This solution never is used alone but in conjunction with one or both of the others.).
