There really isn't one. Deodorants work to kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria that cause odor.
Reply:I thought that deodorants worked through evaporative cooling. The solid sublimates, removing energy from your armpit and thus eliminating the need to sweat (which cools you from the energy absorbed from evaporating water). I will see if I can find a source...





I was wrong. Deodorant reduces sweat production (it is a drug). Read on:

You produce two kinds of sweat, one kind cools you off and one produces an oily sweat that has an unknown function. Bacteria live off that oily sweat and make you stink, but antiperspirants only help to reduce wetness by reducing production of the cooling sweat.
Reply:I don't believe there is a chemical reaction happening. The aluminum-zirconium compounds in the anti-perspirant are merely absorbing the moisture, while other components tend to constrict the sweat glands in the area.








Hmmm, questions on deodorants and anti-perspirants, fingernail polish remover, and toothpaste. Beauty school?
