The first deodorants relied on strong perfumes to mask body odour. When it was realised that the source of the odour was the microbial breakdown of triglycerides of fatty acids such as propionic, butyric and hexanoic acid, antimicrobial products were introduced. The use of aluminium salts to reduce perspiration appears to predate the use of antimicrobials; although used primarily to reduce wetness they also reduce the feed stock for bacterial breakdown and they are now known to have recognisable antimicrobial properties. With development of antiperspirant materials restricted by legislation in Europe and the USA formulation improvements have been aimed at enhancing the activity of permitted aluminium salts and aluminium-zirconium complexes, with improving product texture and aesthetic appeal and particularly with reducing residual whiteness.
