GOOD TO KNOW
If you have ever wondered why we sweat and why our sweat sometimes smells unpleasant, then you have come to the right place. In this article we will explain everything you need to know about sweating. You will also find out how our deodorant cream works.
Why do we sweat?
Without sweating, our body would overheat. When we exercise, our body produces heat and sweat helps us to dissipate this heat and thus regulate our body temperature. This way, we can exercise for longer periods of time without overheating to an unhealthy level.
But we don't just sweat when we're doing sports. We also produce sweat when it's hot, when we have a fever or when we're in the sauna to regulate our body temperature. We don't just sweat in the typical places like under our arms or on our palms, but all over our body.
Another reason for sweating is hormonal changes in our body. In stressful situations or when we are afraid, our body produces more of the hormone adrenaline, which causes us to breathe faster and deeper and our heart to beat faster. Sweating is also increased by this hormone. The body is on alert and prepares for a possible flight or fight.
Everyone sweats differently. Some people sweat more than others, which is completely normal. So, the next time we sweat, we should remember that our body is just trying to keep us healthy. 😊
Why does sweat stink?
We all know it: you come home from exercise or sit in the office all day and suddenly you smell something unpleasant . But did you know that fresh sweat is actually odorless? It is only when bacteria on our skin decompose that sweat begins to smell unpleasant.
The decomposition of sweat by bacteria is a natural process. It can be influenced by various factors. For example, the type of clothing plays a role. Synthetic fibers can cause us to smell unpleasant more quickly than with clothing made of natural fibers such as cotton or linen. This is because bacteria can settle more easily on synthetic fibers than on natural fibers. Therefore, if you have problems with unpleasant body odor, it is advisable to use clothing made of natural fibers.
In teenagers, however, the unpleasant smell can have a different cause. In this case, the change in hormone levels is responsible for the unpleasant smell. In this case, it can help to pay particular attention to thorough body care in addition to our effective deodorant creams. Our natural soaps are ideal as hand and shower soaps.
How does the deodorant cream without aluminum salt work?
We all know it: you come home from exercise or sit in the office all day and suddenly an unpleasant smell hits your nose. But did you know that fresh sweat is actually odorless? It only starts to smell unpleasant when the bacteria on our skin break down the sweat.
And that's exactly where our deodorant cream comes in. With the bacteria. Our deodorant cream makes life difficult for the bacteria . It contains zinc oxide, baking soda, healing clay and corn starch, among other things.
Zinc oxide is a natural powder made of zinc and oxygen. It has an antibacterial and odor-neutralizing effect. It inhibits bacterial growth and also relieves razor burn.
Sodium bicarbonate, also known as sodium bicarbonate, has an alkaline effect and neutralizes odors. By changing the pH value, it inhibits the activity of odor-producing bacteria. It absorbs moisture and binds sweat. These properties are supported by healing clay and corn starch .
Our deodorant cream combats unpleasant body odor without suppressing natural sweating. The pores are not closed and the natural regulating skin function is maintained.
