Sweat and Odor Control Ingredients for Soap

Regarding your question about using sweat-reducing ingredients in soap, the previous response correctly stated that ingredients like Aluminum Chlorohydrate work by being absorbed into the skin to reduce sweat production. Since soap is a wash-off product, Aluminum Chlorohydrate is not effective when used in soap.

While true antiperspirants (sweat blockers) are not suitable for soap, you can incorporate ingredients that help control body odor associated with sweat. These are often referred to as deodorizers.

Here are some ingredients that can help control odor in soap or cleansing products:

• DeoMax™ Powder / DeoMax™ Liquid: These ingredients, derived from Japanese persimmons, are effective deodorizers that can be used in deodorant soap. They help eliminate various body odors and inhibit odor-causing bacteria. DeoMax™ Powder is typically used at 0.1-0.5%, while DeoMax™ Liquid is recommended at 1-3% (specifically 1%).
• CleanTea™ Liquid: A green tea extract that is effective in suppressing various odors, including body odor. It can be used in cleaning products to help reduce body odor. The recommended usage rate is 1-5% (specifically 3%).
• SugarClean™: A sugarcane extract effective in suppressing various odors, including body odor. It can be used in underarm products. The recommended usage rate is 0.5-3% (specifically 2%).
• Odor-Kill DO™: This ingredient helps control odor by being effective against odor-causing bacteria. It is suitable for use in products applied under the arms and can be included in cleansing formulas. The usage rate is typically 0.1-1.0%.

These ingredients work by addressing the odor itself or the bacteria that cause it, making them suitable for wash-off applications like soap, unlike antiperspirants which need to remain on the skin.
