What causes body odour?

 What causes body odour

As far as body odour goes, there are three key groups of enabler bugs: Cutibacterium acnes, found in areas rich in sebaceous glands (face, back, chest, armpit, groin), contributes to a musky odour through lipid breakdown. The second is Corynebacterium, found in moist regions like the armpit and groin, which converts sweat compounds into pungent volatiles including sulphur compounds.

Finally, there is Staphylococcus epidermidis, common on the face, scalp, armpits, and groin, which plays a balancing role — less directly involved in odour production and may help prevent overgrowth of stronger odour-producing microbes.

  1. The perfume type has to be at ease with your skin microbiome, for it to actually work. Otherwise, multiple applications and overexposure to the chemicals in the perfumes might turn sour, at the least, and at the extreme, even turn harmful for humans. “We think of bugs as being all ‘bad’, but that is not true at all. About 99.999% of bugs are either neutral or good for us. It’s only 0.001% of bugs that are ‘bad’, rather, disease causing,”

  2. परफ्यूम का प्रकार आपकी त्वचा माइक्रोबायोम के साथ सहज होना चाहिए, तभी यह वास्तव में काम करेगा। अन्यथा, परफ्यूम में मौजूद रसायनों के कई बार इस्तेमाल और अत्यधिक संपर्क से यह खराब हो सकता है, कम से कम, और चरम पर, मनुष्यों के लिए हानिकारक भी हो सकता है। "हम सभी कीड़ों को 'बुरा' मानते हैं, लेकिन यह बिल्कुल भी सच नहीं है। लगभग 99.999% कीड़े हमारे लिए या तो तटस्थ या अच्छे होते हैं। केवल 0.001% कीड़े ही 'बुरे' होते हैं, बल्कि बीमारी पैदा करने वाले होते हैं,"

  3. These perfumes are essentially a cocktail of chemicals that can impact the skin, cardiac health and may also be carcinogenic.

  5. There is a lot of information available about the skin microbiome from a health perspective, but literally none of that has been adopted by the fragrance industry.

  6. There is no viable business model for routine, expensive metagenomic testing before choosing a perfume.

  7. Metagenomic testing, or metagenomics, is the analysis of the complete genetic makeup (DNA) of an entire community of microorganisms in a sample, without the need to culture or isolate individual organisms. It's like taking a snapshot of the genetic diversity of a microbial ecosystem in a single test.
