[0030] Use of the above compound provides at least the following benefits; [0031] Naturally lathers and cleanses away odor causing bacteria and build-up of previous day's applied deodorant, which results in a cleaner surface to apply deodorant and thus better body odor control. [0032] Gently exfoliates away bacteria and build-up of previous day's applied deodorant which results in a cleaner surface to apply deodorant and thus better body odor control. [0033] Uses the power of naturally anti-septic and anti-bacterial ingredients from the environment such as cinnamon, tea tree and geranium to kill body odor-causing bacteria. [0034] Allows underarms to sweat, a normal body function, but controls odor-causing bacteria. The aluminum ingredients in CD/APs clog the user's pores, stopping them from sweating. Sweating is a normal body function that should be allowed to happen. [0035] Enables consumers to successfully use ND (i.e. with perceived adequate body odor control). [0036] Provides a few more hours of body odor protection to consumers who previously dealt with body odor soon after application of ND. [0037] Allows people struggling with the social stigma of body odor another add-on option to control it. [0038] Allows consumers to use the most readily available and affordable ND and removes the burden of shopping around for the perfect ND that works for them.

It also allows consumers to exercise before social or professional situations and still maintain decorum, without body odor. [0040] When added to teens' underarm skin cleansing routine, the compound is often sufficient alone to delay parents regular purchasing of ND or CD/AP at the point in which teens are approaching puberty and beginning to experience body odor. [0041] Offers new mothers a solution for body odor control during the weeks/months in which the focus is often only on the new baby rather than on her own self-care. New mothers often also become more aware of toxins in their environment during these sensitives [0042] Allows people with a recent breast cancer diagnosis, who are told by their doctor to stop using certain conventional, non-natural products such as CD/AP, to have an option for good body odor control. [0043] Allows consumers seeking prescription level anti-perspirant another option to try before resorting to such strong chemical interventions; [0044] Allows consumers seeking clinical, dermatologist-level care another option to try prior to resorting to the more invasive procedures such as Botox or surgical removal of sweat glands in the underarm.

[0045] Referring next to the following list of ingredients for an exemplary embodiment that is less-preferred than the first embodiment, but still within the invention, a compound for underarm skin cleansing is provided which is one or more of all-natural; more effective than just washing with soap; not harmful to the health of the end user, plant worker or the environment; not requiring a prescription; that permits user to delay or avoid invasive medical procedures; that use of which prior to applying ND is more effective than using ND alone; and that is pleasurable and economical to use.
