Sweating is an essential function for the organism. It regulates our temperature, maintained constant within margins and also helps remove wastes and toxins.

Two types of glands in our body are responsible for the secretion of sweat:
The eccrine glands small thermoregulatory, and apocrine, larger and located in the armpits, whose activity is closely related to the nervous and hormonal systems.

Daily cleaning is not enough to combat the natural secretion of perspiration. So the deodorant has become a commodity, not of beauty but of health.

Antiperspirants are presented in three large families: the bactericidal, recommended for normal perspiration and to attack bacteria that are installed on the surface of the skin absorbs them-smell, ideal for skin with little sweat, and antiperspirants, for people who sweat profusely as they regulate perspiration without actually blocking it, which would be harmful to the body.
