Abstract

Antiperspirant and deodorant products are intended to be used to retard perspiration, absorb moisture and mask or prevent odor. Antiperspirants aim to bring about a temporary decrease in sweat production by substances having astringent action like sulfate, chlorate, chlorhydroxide, phenosulfate, basic formate, lactate, citric acid, sulfonate and alum etc.. Deodorants reduce the axillary odor through the use of an antimicrobial agent or fragrance. They are available in spray, roll-on, stick, powder, cream and gel form. The diversity and  vitality of the astringent and deodorant products  makes them interesting and challenging for the researchers and marketer. The changing trends are towards herbal product that better fits the changing lifestyle and perception of consumers. The consumer want reassurance that products are skin-friendly and hence the herbal products are more in demand worldwide. The herbal raw materials like Zingiber officinale family Zingiberaceae (ginger) and Citrus limonia family Rutaceae(lemon) are astringent, antibacterial and sensory. These properties were evaluated to match the requirements for antiperspirant and deodorant product. The ­subjective, qualitative, quantitative and microbial analysis showed that the combination of both juices in 1:1 proportion produced the desired effect.
