Project
Coming from a small crowded high school, which clashes together grown adults and pre-pubescent teenagers, we the bioYOLOgists are faced with the issue of overwhelming body odor every day. At first, we believed this to be due to the lack of deodorant on freshmen, but upon closer examination we realized the problem was the fact that the deodorants were failing. Antiperspirants block the healthy release of sweat, while other deodorants fade throughout the day. That’s why we decided to create a solution to the problem; a bacterial solution that is.
The solution we came up with is deodorizing bacteria. Our bacteria creates a wintergreen smell when the cell dies. Salt is a natural antibacterial and is quite prominent in sweat. We want to create this bacteria so that when the user begins to sweat the bacteria will die, releasing the wintergreen scent to combat any body odor created by the wearer's sweat.
The difference with our product, is that it would be applied to the outside of clothing around the body. This way it is a failsafe for when traditional deodorants stop working correctly, in addition to allowing areas other than where normal deodorants are applied to be coated and protected.
