Creating body odor might be simple.
Step one: run.
Step two: repeat step one until sweaty.
But the chemical process that causes bodily aromas is complex — an interaction between molecules released by sweat glands and bacteria on skin that gobble them up.
And a doctor from Chaska believes targeting that process has resulted in a better deodorant. After years of sweat equity, Dr. Shannon Klingman created Lume, a bacteria-disrupting cream that will compete with well-known brands in a $4 billion deodorant market.
Sales start online Sunday night.
“We’re a remedy for every odor that occurs on our skin, from head to toe,” she said.
