Deo and mildness

In a comparative test of a formulation containing Hydamer^TM DCMF (0,1 %) and a formulation containing an alternative common ingredient (0,3 %), which is generally regarded as an efficient antimicrobial active, the following evaluation criteria were used: Deodorant effect, sensation, stickiness and skin compatibility. The deodorant effect and skin compatibility of the formulation containing Hydamer^TM DCMF was rated better. In addition to the deodorant effect, Hydamer^TM DCMF reduced the irritation potential of this formulation and thus improved its dermatological compatibility.

The effectiveness of a Hydamer^TM DCMF containing formulation (without added perfume) against body odor was evaluated in comparison with that of a strongly odor reducing standard formulation comprising of aluminum chlorohydrate and triclosan. It was found that a fomulation with Hydamer^TM DCMF demonstrated
a comparable to slightly better performance regarding customer’s demands for modern deodorants. Hydamer™ DCMF also offers ideal protection against odor formation at reduced application concentrations of the individual active ingredients.

The odor intensity and adhesion of perfume oil in a deodorant brand formulation with and without the addition of Hydamer^TM DCMF were evaluated in a comparative test by a panel, consisting of fragrance and laboratory specialists. The odor intensity and adhesion of the formulation containing Hydamer^TM DCMF were rated significantly better by both groups.
