Description
Over the past decade there has been a growing interest in finding alternatives to anti-microbial compounds that prevent malodor such as
Triclosan. In addition, scientific knowledge is accumulating on the skin innate immunity and the role of normal flora as part of it. These two
initiatives led to research of the role of corynebacteria species in the generation of malodor, the compounds responsible to it and ways to
prevent it. This 90-minute accredited online session will describe the sweat composition, role of sebum, the different bacteria involved, the
compounds that generate malodor and alternative approaches for its prevention.
