What are AHAs?
Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) are gentle, fruit derived acids that help maintain the skin’s natural balance. In our deodorants, they play a key role in keeping you fresh by creating an environment where odor causing bacteria struggle to thrive.
How do AHAs work in our deodorants?
Body odor is not caused by sweat itself. It is the result of bacteria breaking down sweat on the skin. These bacteria thrive in a higher, more alkaline pH. AHAs help lower the skin’s pH to a level where odor causing bacteria cannot survive, stopping odor before it starts.
What are the benefits of AHAs?
Beyond helping control odor, AHAs smooth and brighten the skin, reducing the appearance of hyperpigmentation over time. They also gently exfoliate, which can help prevent ingrown hairs and irritation, making them ideal for the delicate underarm area.
