According to chemist Rachel Johnson, the difference between a deodorant and an antiperspirant is that the latter contains aluminum compounds that block sweat glands.
Deodorants adjust the pH level of the skin to combat odor-causing bacteria, with common ingredients including mineral salts, acids, baking soda, antimicrobial agents, and moisture-absorbing elements.
Dermatologist Dr. Annie Liu highlights that even a minimal amount of sweat can lead to body odor by encouraging the growth of odor-causing bacteria, making antiperspirants a recommended choice for combating BO.
