Claims Support for Antiperspirants & Deodorants

Simon Grundy

proDERM Institute for Applied Dermatological Research, Germany

f all the natural functions of the skin, perspiration and

its odorous consequences is one of the most lucrative

challenges for the cosmetic industry, especially due to

its social impact. Body odor and perspiration is deemed

offensive in most cultures and cosmetic products to control

this phenomenon are in high demand. The reduction of

sweat and its resulting odor has historically been addressed

by antiperspirant formulations containing aluminum salts

and standard antimicrobial actives. However there is an

increasing range of alternatives and a desire to provide more

holistic solutions. In order to achieve market acceptance

for these products, efficacy claims need evidential support

by scientific research. For credible product claims adequate

and verifiable studies need to be conducted with best

practices and with respect to all ethical considerations.

While some regulatory agencies stipulate testing methods

for certain types of product, others do not. Equally, new

types of products and their associated performance

claims require new approaches, in order to accurately

determine efficacy. This creates an interesting and evolving

area of cosmetic research, as testing methods develop

to keep pace with consumer need for more personalized

products to suit their individual lifestyle and requirements.
