- Applications
- Featuring triethyl citrate as its specialized ingredient, deodorization is the key function of this product. Triethyl citrate has a long history of use in deodorants due to its capacity to inhibit esterase activity in bacteria. The enzymatic cleavage of certain esters in sweat and the release of short-chain fatty acids can produce an unpleasant odor. Triethyl citrate has a well-known effect to inhibit this process in bacteria
- Efficient, convenient, and easy-to-use Imbue TEC™ is ideal for a range of products. Ideal in formulations for the face and body, this versatile ingredient can be used from head to toe. Ideal for deodorant sprays and cleansers
