Does antiperspirant or deodorant kill the bacteria that causes BO?

Why isn't a deodorant/antiperspirant made that kills bacteria and change the ammonia into something that doesn't stink?

Does antiperspirant or deodorant kill the bacteria that causes BO?
Actually, it doesn't kill the bacteria that causes BO. It just plugs up your pores or whatever so the BO doesn't come out. An antiperspirant is for sweat and a deodorant is for smell.
Reply:If you're talking about serious BO, it's b/c that person need to bathe. It's not only their armpits causing the horrendous odour=P They might also be suffering from a zinc deficiency, or some serious health problem. Here's a good article on the causes and treatment of BO:

Reply:Deoderants contain chemicals that are supposed to kill the odor-causing bacteria. Anti-persperants also contain alluminum, which prevents the sweat glands from working and thereby stops you from sweating.





It is important to note that too much aluminum is toxic, and using strong anti-persperants increases your risk of breast cancer. And yes, this applies to men as well as women.
Reply:Hey, they are already say that antiperspirant and deodorant gives us Cancer because it blocks the "poisons" from coming out and it builds up.








Who knows??? Maybe that's something you can do.
Reply:no it doesnt kill bacteria...it just covers the smell...(hopefully)





but some ppl has such strong BO that deoderant doesnt do much, sadly! but i give props to them for trying...





it's much worse if you encounter those who doesnt even use it and they dont know that they stink. yuck!
Reply:Antiperspirant is exactly what it says, anti=no, perspirant=sweat. No sweat, it doesn't allow the sebacious glands underarm to produce sweat, meaning there is no wetness there at all to cause a stink. Deodorant simply makes or covers up the smell.
Reply:most do get a better deodorant
Reply:Hey antipersperant deoderant, Stop's the bacteria from basicaly making the smell.. You have to use it before you actually have a smell though

  1. It depends on the types of deodorant/antiperspirant.
    Some deodorants will rid of odours and still allows you to sweat without odours
    A good deodorant is one without leaving residues, stains and odours behind. I've been using UARMSOL deodorant for many years now and I have no more armpit odours. Even after I sweat, there’s no odours. I applied 1 pinch of deodorant powder and it's all to it for the whole day without worries about any smell afterwards. There's no chemicals, oil or fragrances added to cause any smell on the clothes.
