Science
Mechanism of Action
Selectively disrupts the cell membranes of odor-causing Gram-positive bacteria (Corynebacterium and Staphylococci) that convert sweat into malodorous compounds, while leaving beneficial commensal skin flora intact
Research
Clinical Evidence
High confidence0.5%
Key findings
- 01 In vivo testing at 0.5% concentration demonstrated 24-hour odor reduction through selective bacterial inhibition
- 02 Antimicrobial efficacy studies showed high activity against target bacteria at concentrations as low as 0.3%
Transparency
Dusting Analysis
Not typically subject to dusting practices due to specialized antimicrobial application and established effective concentration ranges
The Formula
Formulation
Stability
Exceptionally stable across wide pH and temperature ranges. Requires pre-mixing with oils or emollients before water phase incorporation due to lipophilic nature
Synergies
- emollients
- oils
- surfactants
Conflicts
- strong oxidizing agents
Safety
Safety Profile
Recognized as safer alternative to organohalogen antibacterials like Triclosan with established use levels up to 1.0% in both leave-on and rinse-off formulations
