Over-the-counter products labeled as "natural deodorant crystal" containing the
chemical potassium alum have gained new-found popularity as an alternative
health product, in spite of concerns about their contact dermatitis.[15] A popular
alternative to modern commercial deodorants is ammonium alum, which is a
common type of alum sold in crystal form and often referred to as a deodorant
crystal. It has been used as a deodorant throughout history in Thailand, the Far
East, Mexico and other countries.[citation needed]
Deodorants and antiperspirants come in many forms. What is commonly used
varies in different countries. In Europe, aerosol sprays are popular, as are cream
and roll-on forms.
History
In the 9th century, Ziryab introduced under-arm deodorants in Al-Andalus. In
1888, the first commercial deodorant, Mum, was developed and patented by a
U.S. inventor in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, whose name has been lost to
history. The small company was bought by Bristol-Myers in 1931 and in the late
1940s, marketing executive Edward Gelsthorpe decided to develop an applicator
based on the newly invented ball-point pen. In 1952, the company began marketing
the product under the name Ban Roll-On. The product was briefly withdrawn from
the market in the U.S. It is once again available at retailers in the U.S. under the
brand Ban. In the UK it is sold under the names Mum Solid and Mum Pump](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/parkavenuedeoprojectreport-140519091922-phpapp01/85/Park-avenue-deo-project-report-14-320.jpg)

History
Park Avenue was originally known as Fourth Avenue and carried the tracks of
the New York and Harlem Railroad starting in the 1830s. The railroad originally
built an open cut through Murray Hill, which was covered with grates and grass
between 34th and 40th Street in the early 1850s. A section of this "park" was
renamed Park Avenue in 1860. In 1867, the name applied all the way to 42nd
Street. When Grand Central Depot was opened in the 1870s, the railroad tracks
between 56th and 96th Streets were sunk out of sight, and, in 1888, Park Avenue
was extended to the Harlem River.
In 1936 the elevated Park Avenue Viaduct was built around the station to allow
automobile traffic to pass unimpeded. In October 1937, a part of the Murray Hill
Tunnel was reopened for road traffic. Efforts to promote a Grand Park Avenue
Expressway to Grand Concourse in the Bronx were unavailing.[6]
On May 5, 1959, the New York City Council voted 20–1 to change the name of
Fourth Avenue between 17th and 32nd Streets to Park Avenue South. In 1963,
the Pan Am Building was built straddling Park Avenue atop Grand Central
Terminal, between the automotive viaducts.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/parkavenuedeoprojectreport-140519091922-phpapp01/85/Park-avenue-deo-project-report-24-320.jpg)

A subgroup of deodorants, antiperspirants, affect odor as well as prevent sweating by affecting sweat glands. Antiperspirants are typically applied to the underarms, while deodorants may also be used on feet and other areas in the form of body sprays. In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration classifies and regulates most deodorants as cosmetics, but classifies antiperspirants as over-the- counter drugs.
- 12. The first commercialdeodorant, Mum, was introduced and patented in the late nineteenth century by an inventor in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, whose name has been lost to history. The product was briefly withdrawn from the market in the U.S., but is currently available at U.S. retailers under the brand Ban. The modern formulation of the antiperspirant was patented by Jules Montenier on January 28, 1941. This formulation was first found in "Stopette" deodorant spray, which Time Magazine called "the best-selling deodorant of the early 1950s". Stopette was later eclipsed by many other brands as the 1941 patent expired. A small percentage of people are allergic to aluminum and may experience contact dermatitis when exposed to deodorants containing aluminium. A 2008 study stated that no scientific evidence supports the hypothesis that deodorants and/or antiperspirants increase the incidence of breast cancer. Stick antiperspirant/deodorant Human perspiration is largely odorless until it is fermented by bacteria that thrive in hot, humid environments. The human underarm is among the most consistently warm areas on the surface of the human body, and sweat glands provide moisture, which when excreted, has a vital cooling effect. When adult armpits are washed with alkaline pH soap, the skin loses its acid mantle (pH 4.5 - 6), raising the skin pH and disrupting the skin barrier. As many bacteria thrive in this elevated pH environment, this makes the skin susceptible to bacterial colonization. The bacteria feed on the sweat from the apocrine glands and on dead skin and hair cells, releasingtrans-3-Methyl-2-hexenoic acid in their waste, which is the primary cause of body odor. Underarm hair wicks the moisture away from the skin and aids in keeping the skin dry enough to prevent or diminish bacterial colonization. The hair
- 13. is less susceptibleto bacterial growth and therefore is ideal for preventing the bacterial odor. Deodorants are classified and regulated as cosmetics by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and are designed to eliminate odor. Deodorants are usually alcohol-based. Alcohol initially stimulates sweating, but may also temporarily kill bacteria. Deodorants can be formulated with other, more persistent antimicrobials such as triclosan, or with metal chelant compounds that slow bacterial growth. Deodorants may contain perfumefragrances or natural essential oils intended to mask the odor of perspiration. Deodorants combined with antiperspirant agents are classified as drugs by the FDA. Antiperspirants attempt to stop or significantly reduce perspiration and thus reduce the moist climate in which bacteria thrive. Aluminium chloride, aluminiumchlorohydrate, and aluminium-zirconium compounds, most notably aluminium zirconium tetrachlorohydrexgly and aluminium zirconium trichlorohydrexgly, are frequently used in antiperspirants. Aluminiumchlorohydrate and aluminium zirconium tetrachlorohydrategly are the most frequent active ingredients in commercial antiperspirants. Aluminium-based complexes react with the electrolytes in the sweat to form a gel plug in the duct of the sweat gland. The plugs prevent the gland from excreting liquid and are removed over time by the natural sloughing of the skin. The metal salts work in another way to prevent sweat from reaching the surface of the skin: the aluminium salts interact with the keratin fibrils in the sweat ducts and form a physical plug that prevents sweat from reaching the skin‟s surface. Aluminium salts also have a slight astringent effect on the pores; causing them to contract, further preventing sweat from reaching the surface of the skin. The blockage of a large number of
- 14. sweat glands reducesthe amount of sweat produced in the underarms, though this may vary from person to person. Over-the-counter products labeled as "natural deodorant crystal" containing the chemical potassium alum have gained new-found popularity as an alternative health product, in spite of concerns about their contact dermatitis.[15] A popular alternative to modern commercial deodorants is ammonium alum, which is a common type of alum sold in crystal form and often referred to as a deodorant crystal. It has been used as a deodorant throughout history in Thailand, the Far East, Mexico and other countries.[citation needed] Deodorants and antiperspirants come in many forms. What is commonly used varies in different countries. In Europe, aerosol sprays are popular, as are cream and roll-on forms.

The modern formulation of the antiperspirant was patented by Jules Montenier on January 28, 1941. This patent addressed the problem of the excessive acidity of aluminium chloride and its excessive irritation of the skin, by combining it with a soluble nitrile or a similar compound. This formulation was first found in "Stopette" deodorant spray, which Time Magazine called "the best-selling deodorant of the early 1950s". "Stopette" gained its prominence as the first and long-time sponsor of the game show What's My Line?, and was later eclipsed by many other brands as the 1941 patent expired. In the early 1960s, the first aerosol antiperspirant in the marketplace was Gillette's Right Guard, whose brand was later sold to Henkel in 2006. Aerosols were popular because they let the user dispense a spray without coming in contact with the underarm area. By the late 1960s, half of all the antiperspirants sold in the U.S. were aerosols, and continued to grow in all sales to 82% by the early 1970s. However, in the late 1970s two problems arose which greatly changed the popularity of these products. First, in 1977 the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) banned the active ingredient used in aerosols, aluminium zirconium chemicals, due to safety concerns over long term inhalation. Second, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) limited the use of chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) propellants used in aerosols due to awareness that these gases can contribute to depleting the ozone layer. As the popularity of aerosols slowly decreased, stick antiperspirants became more and more popular. Today, sticks are the most popular type of antiperspirant.
- 16. Health effects The healtheffects of antiperspirants are a matter of dispute regarding their extent. A small percentage of people are allergic to aluminum and may experience contact dermatitis when exposed to aluminum-containing deodorants. After using a deodorant containing zirconium, the skin may develop an allergic, axillary granuloma response. Antiperspirants with propylene glycol, when applied to the axillae, can cause irritation and may promote sensitization to other ingredients in the antiperspirant. Deodorant crystals containing synthetically made potassium alum were found to be a weak irritant to the skin. Alcohol-free deodorant is available for those with sensitive skin. Aluminum is one of the few abundant elements that appears to have no beneficial function to living cells (non- essential metal). Frequent use of deodorants was associated with blood concentrations of the synthetic musk galaxolide. Aluminum toxicity Aluminum is present most often in antiperspirants in form of aluminum chlorohydrate. In addition, aluminum chlorohydrate is not the same as the compound aluminum chloride, which has been established as aneurotoxin. At high doses, aluminum itself adversely affects the blood–brain barrier, is capable of causing DNA damage, and has adverse epigenetic effects. High doses of aluminum have detrimental effects to a number of species such as non- human primates, mice, rabbits, and dogs.
- 17. A preliminary study(2001) showed that the use of aluminum chlorohydrate, the active ingredient in many antiperspirants, does not lead to a significant (vs. ingestion via diet) increase in aluminum levels in the body with one-time use. The Food and Drug Administration "acknowledges that small amounts of aluminium can be absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and through the skin." Breast cancer A 2002 study stated "the rumor that antiperspirant use causes breast cancer continues to circulate the Internet. Although unfounded, there have been no published epidemiologic studies to support or refute this claim." The American Cancer Society (ACS) and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) were very much concerned about the e-mails rumors directly linking antiperspirants to cancer that both put out information on the Internetstating there was no evidence linking the cosmetic products with cancer. According to the ACS "studies have not shown any direct link between parabens and any health problems, including breast cancer. What has been found is that there are many other compounds in the environment that also mimic naturally produced estrogen. According to researchers at the NCI, they "are not aware of any conclusive evidence linking the use of underarm antiperspirants or deodorants and the subsequent development of breast cancer. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence of a harmful effect" and "these chemicals are being directly applied daily, by very large numbers of people, and the long-term health effects of exposure are essentially unknown," toxicologist Philip W. Harvey tells WebMD in an interview. But ACS epidemiologist Michael Thun argued that "even if the parabens do promote estrogen-dependent tumor growth, the risk from cosmetic use is "minuscule" compared with other known tumor promoters." The cosmetics industry insists the paraben chemicals used as
- 18. preservatives in underarmdeodorants and other cosmetics, which are regulatory approved, are safe. A 2003 study found a correlation between earlier diagnosis of breast cancer and antiperspirant/deodorant use. A 2003 study indicated "underarm shaving with antiperspirant/deodorant use may play a role in breast cancer." A 2004 study reviewing the evidence for and against the possible link between breast cancer and underarm cosmetics wrote "Although animal and laboratory studies suggest a possible link between certain chemicals used in underarm cosmetics and breast cancer development, there is no reliable evidence that underarm cosmetics use increases breast cancer risk in humans." 2004 and 2005 studies led by researcher PhilippaDarbre, hypothesizes that particular substances in deodorants, such as preservatives called parabens, or bolts such as aluminum chloride used in antiperspirants, get into thebloodstream or accumulate in breast tissue, where they enhance or emulate the effects of estrogen, which stimulates the growth of cancerous breast cells. A 2007 study found that personal care products are a potential contributor to the body burden of aluminum and newer evidence has linked breast cancer with aluminum-based antiperspirants. A 2008 study stated that no scientific evidence supports the hypothesis that deodorants and/or antiperspirants increase the incidence of breast cancer. A study published in 2009 by the journal The Breast Cancer Research proposed a link between breast cancer and the application of cosmetic chemicals including phthalates and aluminum salts in the underarm region, because of their oestrogenic and/or genotoxic properties, which provides an evidence-based hypothesis capable of further research.
- 19. Advantages of deodorant It stops the formation of the bacteria that cause body odor. Deodrants generally contain contain alcohol and some contain anti microbialingrediants. This helps to reduce bacteria. They are the best to keep you always from sweating. Aluminum present in most of the deodrants reacts with sweat to form a plug in the sweat glands. These plugs decrease wetness, and therefore, decrease the chance for the bacteria to grow. Disadvantages Using deodrants that contain aluminum may contribute to breast cancer development. If aluminum based compounds are applied frequently to skin near the breast, it may be absorbed into the skin and cause changes in estrogen levels. They may cause irritation, rashes and allergic reactions. Some deodrants may stain clothes.

History Park Avenue was originally known as Fourth Avenue and carried the tracks of the New York and Harlem Railroad starting in the 1830s. The railroad originally built an open cut through Murray Hill, which was covered with grates and grass between 34th and 40th Street in the early 1850s. A section of this "park" was renamed Park Avenue in 1860. In 1867, the name applied all the way to 42nd Street. When Grand Central Depot was opened in the 1870s, the railroad tracks between 56th and 96th Streets were sunk out of sight, and, in 1888, Park Avenue was extended to the Harlem River. In 1936 the elevated Park Avenue Viaduct was built around the station to allow automobile traffic to pass unimpeded. In October 1937, a part of the Murray Hill Tunnel was reopened for road traffic. Efforts to promote a Grand Park Avenue Expressway to Grand Concourse in the Bronx were unavailing.[6] On May 5, 1959, the New York City Council voted 20–1 to change the name of Fourth Avenue between 17th and 32nd Streets to Park Avenue South. In 1963, the Pan Am Building was built straddling Park Avenue atop Grand Central Terminal, between the automotive viaducts.
