PRODUCT FOR REDUCTION OF BODY ODOURS AND APPLICATION PROCEDURE

Abstract

The product for reduction of body odours disclosed herein contains 60 to 98.5% of demineralized water by weight, 0.2 to 5% of cellulose gum by weight, 0.5 to 10% of salt by weight, 0.2 to 5% of preservative by weight, 0.5 to 5% of capsules containing the neutralizer for unpleasant odours by weight, 0.1 to 5% of disinfectant by weight, 0 to 5% of tenside by weight and 0 to 5% of fragrance by weight. The product itself is applied directly to the fabric (e.g. T-shirt) or sports equipment (e.g. sports shoes) and is left to dry. During the drying process, a thin layer of nanoparticles containing an encapsulated neutralizer for unpleasant odours is created. When such items that have been treated with this product are worn, the cracking of nanocapsules occurs due to friction and a discrete fragrance that neutralizes the body odour (bacterial activity) is released.
