With a waterproof formula (*3) and high-adhesion ingredients, it is resistant to stuffiness under the arms and friction from clothes or movement, making it long-lasting. (*3) Can be washed off gently with soap or body soap.
(3) Thoroughly prevents underarm odor until night. The sterilizing ingredient IPMP (Isopropyl Methylphenol) kills odor-causing bacteria, reliably preventing underarm odor all day long.
