DEODORANT

A deodorant is a substance applied to the body to prevent or mask body odor due to bacterial breakdown of perspiration or vaginal secretions, for example in the armpits, groin, or feet. A subclass of deodorants, called antiperspirants, prevents sweating itself, typically by blocking sweat glands.

EXAMPLES

1. Spray Deodorant.

2. Roll-On Deodorant.

3. Antiperspirant Deodorant.

4. Gel Deodorant.

5. Solid Deodorant.

COSMETICS

A "cosmetic" is any substance used to clean, improve or change the complexion, skin, hair, nails or teeth. Cosmetics include beauty preparations (make-up, perfume, skin cream, nail polish) and grooming aids (soap, shampoo, shaving cream, deodorant).

EXAMPLES

1. Hair Products - Dyes, Relaxers, Removal, Hair Smoothing Products That Release Formaldehyde.

2. Makeup - Eye Products, Lipstick, Novelty Makeup, and Permanent Makeup.

3. Nail Products.

4. "Organic" Cosmetics.

5. Soaps & Lotions.

6. Tanning Products - "Tanning Pills," Self-tanners, and Bronzers.

Cosmetics are substances which we apply on our faces, hair or bodies to look more attractive, for example body creams and oils, nails vanishes and many more. We can also call them make-ups. Deodorants are substances that are put on the skin to prevent the body from having an unpleasant smell.
