How Alum Remove Body Odor?
2024.09.24
Alum is a kind of natural mineral, also called potassium aluminum sulfate. It has strong bactericidal and deodorizing functions and is widely used to remove body odor.
Body odor, also known as underarm odor, is produced by the interaction between sweat secreted by sweat glands in the armpits and bacteria on the surface of the skin. There are a large number of bacterial communities on human skin, including a bacterium called propionic acid bacteria. This bacterium decomposes the fat and protein in the sweat to produce a compound called propionic acid, which is the cause of the smell of body odor.
Alum has two main effects on the treatment of body odor: inhibiting sweat gland secretion and sterilizing.
First, alum has a convergence effect and can reduce the secretion of sweat glands. The large amount of sweat secreting is one of the main causes of body odor. The aluminum ions in alum can reduce sweat secreting. Moreover, the potassium ions in alum can converge the skin pores and reduce sweat. Therefore, the decrease of sweat will reduce body odor.
Secondly, alum has a bactericidal effect and can inhibit the growth of bacteria on skin. The reproduction of bacteria and the decomposition of fat and protein in sweat are the key links in the production of body odor. The sulfate ions in alum can bind to the proteins in the bacterial cell wall and destroy the structure of the bacteria. In addition, the aluminum ions in alum can also bind to the lipids in the bacterial cell wall and disrupting the membrane structure of bacteria. These effects prevent bacteria from growing and reproducing, thereby reducing the body odor.
In addition, alum also has the effect of regulating the pH value of the skin. The pH value of the human skin surface has a great influence on the reproduction of bacteria. According to the data, alum can neutralize the acidity of the skin surface and make its H value close to neutral. Then it is difficult for bacteria to reproduce in a neutral environment, so the body odor will be reduce.
In summary, the principle of alum in removing body odor mainly includes inhibiting sweat gland secretion, sterilizing and deodorizing, and regulating the pH value of the skin. The aluminum ions and potassium ions in alum can reduce sweat gland secretion, tighten skin pores, and reduce the body odor. The sulfate ions and aluminum ions in alum can kill bacteria on the skin and reduce the smell of body odor. Alum can also adjust the pH of the skin, making it impossible for bacteria to reproduce, further reducing the production of body odor.
