Bio-deodorant is a biochemical deodorant.

Traditional deodorants, whether for residential or industrial applications, typically use only one of the following techniques to eliminate odors:

1. Physical adsorption (e.g. activated carbon, Japanese activated clay, molecular sieves, etc.). Physical adsorption by activated carbon is the preferred deodorant for refrigerators, shoe insoles and industrial, large-scale deodorization tasks.
2. Chemical deodorization
          a.     Neutralization: odorants are passed through acidic (e.g. for ammonia, trimethylamine and other nitrogenous gases) or through basic solutions (for hydrogen sulfide and organic acids).
          b.     Oxidation/Reduction: odorants are chemically decomposed using hydrogen peroxide, chlorine dioxide, ozone, sodium sulfite or sodiumthiosulfate.
          c.     Desulfurization: ferric compounds are desulfurized to remove smells.
          d.     Addition or Condensation
3. Biological deodorization: biological agents like hydrolytic enzymes (cellulase, amylase, protease, lipase, etc.), or microorganisms are applied to deodorants to remove smells.
4. Sensuous deodorization:
          a.     masking the smell with fragrances.
          b.     counteraction: combining two odorous gases often results in no smell at all!

Bio-deodorant, on the other hand, uses all of these techniques. This makes it a highly-effective deodorant.

 

The active agents in Bio-deodorant are extracts from plants such as Crane's bill, coltsfoot, bamboo grass and mugwort. These and other plants products with demonstrated deodorant capabilities are combined into an aqueous solution stabilized with preservatives into a liquid, powder, jelly, spray, granule or aerosol form.

 

The resulting deodorant works rapidly and durably. Since many of the ingredients used are accepted as food additives, Bio-deodorant is safe for human, animal and plants! For an overview of Bio-deodorant's clinical testing, see below.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES:

1. Main ingredients: plant extracts, carbohydrates, organic acids, surface active compounds, preservatives.
    
2. Appearance: Primarily aqueous, transparent or faintly-coloured and essentially non-smelling. Soluble in water and alhol. Also available as gel or powder.
    
3. Deodorizing efficiency: Effective against a broad range of odorous gases, including ammonia, trimethylamine, hydrogen sulfide, methylmercaptan (major gaseous products of the degradation of garbage and urine). Bio-deodorant lasts long and works quickly, as shown below.
    
4. Safety: Investigation by third-party laboratories has confirmed that Bio-deodorant is non-toxic (LD50 for oral administration to mice is more than 5g/kg). It was not acutely toxic to Japanese killifish, rabbit's eyes or human skin.
    
5. Antibacterial properties: Bio-deodorant also attacks microorganisms like bacteria and fungi that are responsible for producing odors. Bio-deodorant has demonstrated powerful antibacterial properties against Escherichia coli, staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas auruginosa.
