Abstract
The invention concerns, for the preparation of cosmetic compositions, the use of divalent manganese salts as agents for reducing odour resulting from bacterial decomposition of human perspiration. The invention also concerns a method for reducing human body odours resulting from their bacterial decomposition and in particular axillary odours, foot odours and scalp odours.
Claims15
Use in a cosmetic composition of at least one divalent manganese salt as agent for reducing the strength of the odor of human sweat decomposed by bacteria.
The use as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the divalent manganese salt or salts represent from 0.01% to 20% of Active Material by weight with respect to the total weight of the composition.
A cosmetic composition intended to be applied to human skin comprising, in a cosmetically acceptable vehicle, at least one antiperspirant or deodorant active principle, characterized in that it additionally comprises at least one divalent manganese salt as agent for reducing the strength of the odor of human sweat decomposed by bacteria.
A process for reducing human body odors resulting from their [sic] decomposition by bacteria, which consists in applying, to the axillary surface, scalp or feet, an effective amount of a divalent manganese salt.
