Zurko Research Evaluates Deodorants and Antiperspirants Efficacy

In summer, with heat and sweat we need to resort to deodorant and antiperspirant products. Antiperspirants reduce the production of sweat, while deodorants only neutralize bad odors.

These products, like all types of cosmetics, must have passed satisfactorily efficacy and safety tests. To check the effectiveness of an antiperspirant, Gravimetric Technique Tests are used, which measure the reduction of sweating. For deodorants, Sniff Tests assess the effect of the product against bad odor.

Though, there are other enemies to face, as white spots on dark cloths, or unappealing yellow spots on white outfits. In both cases colorimetric techniques and photographs are used to evaluate products’ effectiveness.
