We got the idea for A.M.B.O. (Arrest My Body Odor) when I was in middle school. We were learning about personal hygiene and playing a lot of sports. I am sure you all know what a school locker room smells like, right?
I looked for deodorants and quickly realized that no products were designed for teens and young adults. Most products , are full of chemicals and antiperspirants!Β They fall into 2 categories, ones that 'cover up' odors with scents and fragrances containing parabens! Or prevent you from sweating by clogging up your pores and shutting down the sweat glands, (Aluminum, Baking Soda, Waxes)
My research showed that sweating is good and necessary for your body to regulate temperature.Β TheΒ root cause of the odorsΒ is actually, the microflora (bacteria and fungi) that are always present on the skin. We focused on this!
Armed with this, my brother and I researched natural ingredients thatΒ were beneficial for the skin, addressed the root cause, and also smelled nice. After 4 years of trials and testing, we found the right balance with botanicals, essential oils, andΒ skin-nourishing ingredients that could be blended to provide odor control and also keep skin moisturized, clean, and fresh. The final touch was leveraging scientific experts and formulation scientists to thoroughly test and scale up our formula to GMP standards. Our ingredients work with your skin not against it.
