Deodorising efficacy

Body odour arises when sweat, odourless itself, is decomposed by micro-organisms. Gram positive bacteria form substances which have unpleasant odour from the sweat contents; the sebum and the skin cells.  DEO EHG inhibits the growth and multiplication of odour causing bacteria, while at the same time not significantly impacting natural skin flora.
