The Best Deodorant for Women with Strong Odor

Body odor is totally normal, but certain things can make it stand out more, such as:

Hormonal sweating

Hormonal changes, especially during puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause, can lead to increased sweating and stronger body odor. This is because hormonal fluctuations can stimulate the apocrine glands, which produce sweat that bacteria love to feast on, resulting in a more potent smell.

Intense workouts

Physical activity is great for your health, but it also increases sweat production. The more you sweat, the more likely you are to experience body odor, especially if your current deodorant isn't up to the task.

Diet

Certain foods, like spicy dishes, garlic, and onions, can contribute to body odor. These foods contain compounds that can be excreted through your sweat, which leads to a stronger smell.

Stress

Stress-induced sweating is another culprit. When you're stressed, your body produces sweat from the apocrine glands, which is richer in proteins and fats that bacteria love to break down, causing a stronger odor.

Strong body odor calls for a deodorant that’s tough on odor yet gentle on your skin. SheaMoisture antiperspirant deodorants are crafted with care to address those needs effectively. Here's what makes them stand out:
