Sustainable Underarm Deodorants Formulations and Trends 2024

There is fast-growing consumer concern about the sweat glands' blockage by aluminium salts in deodorants leading to potential adsorption into the bloodstream. It is driving the formulators to revamp their formulations strategy to meet both the industry standards and consumers expectations. The category sees a transformation from petroleum and synthetic based chemistry to natural based, resource-renewable, and environmentally-sound technologies
