Born from Kose's 70+ year legacy in Japanese skincare, this deodorant stick was developed to address a modern dilemma: staying fresh through long workdays and stressful schedules without harsh chemicals. The formula centers on a patented medicated ingredient, Potassium Alum, chosen for its proven ability to neutralize odor-causing bacteria without blocking pores.

Kose Deo Carat Medicated Deodorant Stick - Long-Lasting Citrus Freshness contains a carefully formulated blend of ingredients designed to provide effective odor control and skin comfort. Key components include aluminum chlorohydrate, which acts as the primary antiperspirant agent by temporarily blocking sweat ducts to reduce moisture and inhibit bacterial growth that causes odor. The formulation incorporates isopropyl myristate and cyclomethicone as emollients and solvents, ensuring smooth application and quick drying without residue, while enhancing skin feel. Menthol is included for its cooling and soothing properties, offering immediate freshness and mild analgesic effects to calm skin. Natural citrus extracts, such as lemon or orange oil derivatives, contribute the signature citrus fragrance while providing mild astringent and antibacterial benefits. Additional ingredients like talc and silica help absorb excess moisture and improve texture, and preservatives like BHT maintain product stability. This combination delivers long-lasting freshness, reliable sweat and odor protection, and a comfortable user experience suitable for daily use, with the medicated aspect addressing minor skin irritations through its soothing components.
