500 _aIn society, the problem of human odor has caused serious problems. The development of Disagreeable odor on the skin of contemporary humans is the consequence of the commensal microbiota converting naturally released, odourless precursor molecules into Volatile odorants. Human odour is a major problem in society which originates from commensal bacteria that converts odourless compounds into volatile odorants on the skin that cause bad smell. The majority of the axillary bacteria consist of gram-positive bacteria such as Corynebacterium, Propionibacterium and Staphylococcus. There is a need for a deodorant/antiperspirant composition that successfully avoids body odor without irritating skin or having unfavourable effects, considering the shortcomings of current solutions. Use of essential oils and maintaining good hygiene play vital role in maintaining the microbiota development. The existing deodorants are problematic because they contain aluminium and other toxins that can affect the skin so a natural alternative that avoids irritants like aluminium and toxins is recommended. This research paper emphasized the synthesis of deodorants containing the naturally occurring fatty acids like Lauric acid, which is well known for its antibacterial properties. Polymers e.g. Chitosan, Polyvinyl alcohol and Gelatin is use in this formulation. Lecithin and Ethanol are used to dissolve lauric acid in the gel. Remarkably, neither aluminium nor parabens are present in the deodorant because they are connected to cancer and hormone imbalance.
