As you know, the sweat secreted through the skin by our body is not has a smell. All the unpleasant qualities with which we we encounter, they add Staphylococcus microbes and Corynebacterium. They recycle our excrement, and then already leaving their own, with which we are not very successful in fighting using various deodorants.
The thing is, expensive deodorants kill the germs themselves, cheap – they simply clog the smell of the secretions of these microorganisms. But both of these means change the microflora of the skin, that is, practically make us less protected in front of the environment.

At the recent ECCMID-2019 conference in the Netherlands, with the report on this issue was made by Magnus Agren, who is employee of one of Denmark’s Copenhagen hospital and this speech Interested in many scientists of the world.
It turns out working with zinc oxide, which due to its excellent antibacterial properties and harmlessness to the human body widely used in medicine, dentistry, in the production of dental pastes and even medical instruments, hospital scientists noticed that emulsion solution of this compound easily kills bacteria Staphylococcus and Corynebacterium. Namely, they “feed” on sweat secretions of a person, creating sweat from fatty acids unpleasant “aroma” mistakenly attributed to sweat.
Argen and his colleagues put together a team of volunteers and spent an experiment in which modern deodorants were replaced means based on an emulsion solution of zinc oxide. The results of the experiment exceeded all expectations. It turns out “new zinc deodorant “copes with its task much better than anyone famous, even the most expensive and advertised. In doing so the effectiveness was not dependent on gender, skin acidity cover and other individual properties of a person. But the most important thing this unique drug was completely harmless to the skin, since it easily cope with harmful bacteria, it does not violate microflora of the skin.
