Odaban for body odour

Where does body odour come from?

Sweating is a natural way for the body to control its temperature. As sweat evaporates from the skin it cools down the blood and regulates it with the temperature of the other organs. Every human has up to two million sweat glands, most of which are located in the armpits, around the head, palms, and feet. Almost half a litre of sweat is produced from these glands each day. When temperatures are higher the sweat glands can produce almost six litres a day.

Body odour for humans is caused mostly by skin glands excretions and bacterial activity. Though there are many different types of skin glands, the odour that comes from our body is mostly the result of the sweat glands. Sweat glands give off the majority of chemical compounds that are needed for sin flora to metabolise into odourant substances. This takes place mostly in the armpit region but also in the areola, genital region, and around the naval. Hairs on the armpit area and genital area help to diffuse body odours.

Other factors too can influence body odour. Certain foods and drink, and even diseases, can affect a person’s body odour. Lifestyle, sex, genetics, and medication also influence body odour.


Keep body odour at bay with Odaban

You can keep bad body odour at bay by taking a bath at least once a day, using an antibacterial soap, and using a quality antiperspirant like Odaban. Odaban has been trusted for nearly 35 years as one of the most effective treatments of bad body odour. Convenient and inexpensive, Odaban helps to resolve perspiration related problems.

Odaban is an antiperspirant and helps to protect the body from sweat while other deodorants only help correct body odours. Antiperspirants like Odaban are different because they partially block sweat ducts and also contain deodorising properties. Antiperspirants are also a product of choice if you have problems with bad body odour as it generally lasts for longer than deodorants and doesn’t need to be applied as often.
