Bioturm Silver Deodorants
On old black and white photos, especially the men's hats are noticeable. Until the 1960s fedoras, homburgs, trilbies or bowlers were everywhere. The end of the hat era was probably heralded by John F. Kennedy. As the first US president, he was not wearing a hat at his inauguration. The charismatic head of state was not only a heartthrob but also a fashion icon for the men's world. And the men followed the trend of their bareheaded president – much to the chagrin of the hat manufacturers. Even the many free hats which were sent to the White House could not animate Kennedy to wear hats. The number of men wearing hats declined steadily in the following years. Even though businessmen do not wear a hat anymore today, the rest of their wardrobe has barely changed within the last 100 years. Then and now many men go to work in a suit in many professions. Even in the summer.
Unlike a few decades ago the dress code is not as strict today. Depending on the sector, it even completely vanished. However, there are still companies that expect a predefined appearance of their employees. Suit, trouser suit or a dark costume with a monochrome blouse are often required there. Wearing this, one can easily start sweating in the office during summer. How strict a dress code is enforced in the summer heat also strongly depends on the culture. In Australia, Israel or California, for example, more and more people come to work in shorts and sandals. In Singapore, China and Japan, this is still unimaginable. Even at temperatures above 35°C in Tokyo, office workers wait for their trains in dark suits, stoically enduring the summer heat.
In order to respond to the heat, our body has about two million sweat glands. They secrete an initially odorless watery salt solution so that we do not overheat. The typical perspiration smell is produced only subsequently by the bacterial degradation of sweat. Body odor develops especially in those places where the sweat cannot evaporate before the bacterial degradation begins. In the office or in the train this can quickly get unpleasant. Smells are decisive factors when it comes to social contacts or the choice of a partner, though. Those who consistently rely on natural cosmetics for body care make no exception when it comes to the fragrance.
For its silver deodorants, Bioturm uses a specially processed, pure form of micro-silver, which remains on the skin and can help to reduce odour-causing bacteria. In this way, it counteracts the typical smell of sweat. Bioturm does not use nano-silver – which is suspected of being able to penetrate the skin – in any of its products; instead, it uses micro-silver. This highly porous silver has a particle size of between 5 and 20 µm, making it around 1,000 times larger than nanoparticles. Due to their size, these silver particles are not considered to be able to penetrate the skin. Micro-silver is a special form of pure silver with a sponge-like, enlarged surface area. Micro-silver is produced from pure silver using physical methods (a special vacuum process), so it contains no chemical impurities whatsoever. All products in the Bioturm Silver range have been tested in accordance with the strict criteria of the German natural cosmetics certifier BDIH and certified as natural cosmetics.
The Bioturm Silver Deodorant Roll-Ons are available in four variants: ‘Mild’, ‘Intensive’, ‘Intensive Fresh’ and ‘Intensive Dynamic’. A blend of minerals helps to reduce perspiration. In addition, micro-silver can help to reduce odour-causing bacteria, thereby combating unpleasant odours. The same protection is also available as silver deodorant sprays in the fragrances ‘Intensive’, ‘Intensive Fresh’ and ‘Intensive Dynamic’. With Bioturm’s silver deodorants, you can enjoy hot and strenuous days without a care in the world.
