Odour Guard is a multi-functional blend of gentle, biodegradable actives designed to reduce odour formation on the skin designed to replace Triclosan in cosmetic formulations.
Odour Guard can be used as a key functional active in your deodorant, intimate hygiene and comfort, oral care, hand cleansers and general skin and scalp cleansing formulations for both rinse-off and leave-on applications.
