COCOA BUTTER, CORN STARCH AND SODIUM BICARBONATE INFUSED ROLL-ON DEODORANT: A NOVEL APPROACH TO ODOR CONTROL

Abstract

Deodorant Roll-on  is a topical preparation containing antibacterial from natural ingredients that is used to reduce armpit odor caused by the bacterium Staphylococcus epidermidis. The odor of armpit is caused by microbial biotransformation of odourless secretion into volatile odorous molecules Staphylococcus epidermidis and coryne bacterium Species feeds on sweat excreting bad smell. Deodorant products inhibit the growth and activity of bacteria that degrade the apocrine gland in the armpit deodorants. Despite their effective antibacterial properties, common antibacterial agents such as increase risk of Alzheimer’s disease and contact dermatitis. This research study was carried out by opting the Cocoa butter, Coconut Oil, Sodium bicarbonate, corn starch, Lavender oil, Clove oil ,castor oil and mogra oil. Lavender oil are reported to possess antibacterial activity. Deodorant roll-on were prepared and characterized for physical observation. PH measurement,  spreadability,  viscosity, drying time, Stability,   homogeneity test, skin irritation test.The physicochemical evalution was obtained.
