To relieve the people
from bad body odour, scientists have crafted a new deodorant which indicates
that now people will never smell of body odour.
Conventional roll-ons or sprays were created in a way that could only mask the offensive smell or block
the pores in order to stop them from
secreting the perspiration in the armpits.
With the new formula, the scientists have been able to reduce
or stop chemicals in the sweat that turn into the foul smell in the first instance.
Anyone with wounded or sensitive skin having blocked pores
by the use of traditional deodorants can hope for the good by using this
innovated product.
The research was funded by
cosmetics firm L’Oreal, and the product was
developed by scientists at the Compiègne
University of Technology in France.

There are certain chemicals in perspiration that turn into
the bad smell. The deodorant comprises an active ingredient which just acts
like antibodies so to target the particular chemicals that are present in the
sweat.
The head of the Enzyme and Cell Engineering Institute at CUT,
Professor Karsten Haupt stated that whenever the issue of body odour is discussed, it usually refers to the smell
that is emitted from the armpits.
The secretions in the sweat itself are unscented. It is the
bacteria that reacts with the sweat and transforms the perspiration into smelly
and volatile molecules. After catching the irritating molecules in the person’s
sweat, the antibodies remain compelled and difficult for the bacteria unless
they are wiped off or washed completely.
For security reasons, the deodorant is being tested, and there is a hope that the new
formula will be available in the market within few years.
