In recent years, consumers have increasingly sought natural, effective and sustainable solutions for odor control in deodorant products. In this article, deodorant active ingredients are introduced that are not only effective but also environmentally friendly.
1- Caprylyl Glyceryl Ether, brand name Velsan CGE
Caprylyl Glyceryl Ether(CAS:10438-94-5) is a 100% renewable active ingredient that acts as a deodorant and preservative enhancer. Its important characteristics include wide pH stability and high purity (at least 99%). This active ingredient offers excellent body odor control and can be used in various deodorant formulations.
It is effective in inhibiting bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli. It has significant efficacy against odor-causing bacteria such as Corynebacterium zygote and Corynebacterium xerosis.
2- Magnesium Hydroxide(CAS:1309-48-2)(and) Magnesium Carbonate Hydroxide (CAS: 12125-28-9), brand name CareMag D
This natural, safe and highly effective active ingredient in body odor control absorbs both sweat and skin oil, thus ensuring body odor control for a longer period of time.
Significantly reduces the growth of odor-causing bacteria such as Staphylococcus hominis and Corynebacterium tuberculostearicum.
3-Shikimicic Acid(CAS:138-59-0) , brand name Verochic
Shikimicic acid has antimicrobial and antioxidant properties and is known for its ability to inhibit odor-causing enzymes. It exhibits a stronger and gentler exfoliating effect than glycolic acid and inhibits the growth of Propionibacterium acnes with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of between 1% and 2%. It inhibits lipase activity and reduces the production of free fatty acids, which are responsible for unpleasant odors, by up to 98%.
4- Sodium bicarbonate
Sodium bicarbonate (CAS:144-55-8) , also known as baking soda, is a natural active ingredient used in many deodorant formulations. It neutralizes odors by adjusting the pH, thereby inhibiting the growth of odor-causing bacteria. Sodium bicarbonate prevents odors from becoming acidic, offering an effective alternative to aluminum and other antiperspirants.
It neutralizes plaque acids and creates a healthy oral environment, which emphasizes its versatility in various care products.
5- 2-Methyl 5-Cyclohexylpentanol, brand name SymDeo B125
2-Methyl 5-Cyclohexylpentanol(CAS:1141487-54-8) is an innovative deodorant developed for long-term odor control while caring for the skin. It is particularly effective against gram-positive bacteria, which are the main cause of body odor. Demonstrates strong inhibition of odor-causing bacteria such as Corynebacterium and Staphylococcus species. Has been shown to reduce bacterial activity by up to 99.9%. Clinical studies show reduced body odor for up to 48 hours after use. It is skin-friendly and therefore particularly suitable for sensitive skin types.
