“Once A Week” Deodorant was developed to effectively manage the source of the problem without affecting the body’s natural process. Unlike other products in the market that hinder the perspiration process or mask with a stronger chemical fragrant, “Once A Week” simply uses bacteria to fight bacteria.
“Once A Week”’s instrument is a form of friendly bacteria - Pio-Lactobacillus. Once applied to the body, it inhabits 20-30 outer layer of the skin inhibiting the odour-causing bacteria. This basic fundamental results in extensive benefits for the user.
As the skin goes through its natural regenerative process, it takes an average of seven days before all the layers harboring Pio-Lactobacillus are shed. Hence one application of “Once A Week” will have a continuous and lasting effect of one week without the need of reapplication.
While the natural perspiration process is allowed to occur, even in copious amount as the body requires, “Once A Week” halts the usual accompaniment of foul smell. Antiperspirant that blocks the sweat from forming is found to be effective. However, it has a tendency to clog pores leading to darkened skin in the underarms area.
“Once A Week” is suitable deodorant for daily usage, sports, outdoor and water activities as it allows users to perspire yet does not wash away, and does not require constant application.
Possible adverse effects of chemicals in skincare products have recently come into light with concerns on human and environmental reactions, which are harmful and irreversible. “Once A Week” is essentially water (80%), and the remaining ingredients do not encompass alcohol nor heavy metals that recent studies have linked to cancer. Due to its light composition, it is suitable for sensitive skin and has been clinically tested and approved by the US FDA’s Voluntary Cosmetic Registration Program. “Once A Week”’s product and packaging are recyclable and made from sustainable material.
Users of fragrant-free “Once A Week” can simultaneously apply other lotions and perfumes without concerns of clashing or overpowering combination of fragrances.
It comes in a form of water infused tissue, not unlike a wet-wipe. Application requires a simple rubbing motion over areas of concern, most commonly armpits, feet, genitalia, etc.
