When did deodorant come out?

If you have ever wondered when someone decided to create something that would make us not smell like a sweaty pile of rubbish, then look no further. In this article, we will uncover the intriguing story behind the invention of deodorants and antiperspirants.

Early Days: No Sweat

In ancient times (circa 500 BC), people used simple fragrances – such as cinnamon, sandalwood or lavender – to mask odor. There was no pressure (get it?) to stay fresh all day because let’s face it; nobody worked out in those days.

The importance of staying fresh emerged much later in history. People had jobs that required them consistently working hard with long hours for several years/decades without any break time between careers.

This was especially true after the Industrial Revolution as people went from working outside in nature to indoors where factories fell victim to air conditioning systems and cramped conditions which created more hot and humid environments than were previously existed.

Thus creating an on-going cycle of sweatiness!

Additionally, fashion changed as well! After World War II ended U.S Soldiers began wearing undershirts which quickly became wardrobe essentials. Suddenly, normal civilians wanted these undergarments too.

With Underarm sweat patches common among factory workers and soldiers wore their undershirts regularly both factors contributed towards introducing personal care products This eventually led manufacturers that seemed fit enough coming up with antiperspirants!

Introduction Of Commercial Antiperspirants

Pearl District Druggist Edna Murphey first introduced an alkaline cream back in 1888(which is one hundred thirty-three year ago ). It was named “Mum” which interestingly means “a chrysanthemum flower” also known colloquially by Americans meaning “momma”. Wow – talk about domestication symbolism!!

Eventually this product evolved into a more practical and modern clean-like formula which actually sold millions of dollars in the end!

Throughout time, the trends shifted from many brands appearing on shelves all carrying with different types of scents like vanilla extract or even blended flavors like minty pleasures (spearmint) but to a certain extent still carried the same basic chemical formula.
