Q: I have been following a strong ketogenic diet for several months and have begun to notice a strong underarm body odor. None of the usual antiperspirants have worked.
I found a half-used bottle of original formula Sea Breeze and have been wiping my armpits with it. This is working. The bottle states it deep-cleans down to the pores.
A: Sea Breeze Astringent Original Formula contains water, denatured alcohol, a preservative sodium benzoate and coloring. We assume that the benefits you’ve noticed come from the herbal ingredients: camphor, peppermint oil, close oil, eucalyptus oil and eugenol (also from cloves). Perhaps they affect the microbes that thrive on the skin under your arms.
