Anti-odor
No Preview
Our body regulates its temperature through sweating. But as opposed to the common belief, sweat is completely odorless. The real reason behind the unpleasant smell is the bacteria inhabiting the surface of our skin. Body odor in humans is mediated by the reaction between sweat and bacterial decomposition of fatty acids, branched-chain aliphatic amino acids, glycerol, lactic acid, and more. An anti-odor test is a great way to check the ability of our products to inhibit the growth of such odor-producing bacteria on the skin.
We test all our formulations on Staphylococcus hominis to check their anti-odor effect.
What Is Staphylococcus hominis & Why We Use It?
No Preview
Staphylococcus hominis is a gram-positive (bacteria with a thick peptidoglycan layer and no outer lipid membrane) and non-motile bacteria commonly found on the surface of the human skin around the armpits, the groin, and the area around the nipples of the breast. It exists in clusters or groups and forms a commensal relationship with the human body. They serve as an excellent tool for investigating the anti-odor effect of our test products as they are known to produce thioalcohol compounds that react with sweat and lead to body odor.

What's The Final Result?
For a product to have an anti-odor property, the zonal diameter of the test product should be higher than the vancomycin antibiotic disc (control). At Areoveda, the tested products reveal similar results!
