What is "deodorant"?
Deodorant is a personal care product used to combat body odor and keep underarms feeling fresh throughout the day. It typically comes in the form of a stick, roll-on, or spray and contains ingredients that inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria. Deodorants work by neutralizing or masking the odor, providing a pleasant fragrance and a sense of cleanliness. Some deodorants also offer antiperspirant properties, reducing sweat production to keep underarms dry. With regular use, deodorant helps individuals feel confident and maintain a pleasant scent, enhancing personal hygiene and comfort.
