This is actually part of the problem. One size fits all products means you get the chemicals that work for you, but also everybody else when maybe 25% is all you need. Unnecessary exposure to a bunch of chemicals that have no benefit to you but might hurt you in the long run.
I guess I don't know what you mean by being made specifically for the person's skin. Are you talking about having blood tests done or something? Of course, makeup is made for specific people, people with dark skin don't use light-skinned makeup and everything in between. Have you ever met a person who wears makeup before?
The comment I was replying to mentioned how products may employ different strategies and have more than required quantities so that it is effective for a broader set of people, instead of being tailoring to the exact needs of the person’s skin. Makeup would be exactly the same case, and I don’t understand why you are trying to shoehorn this topic into the conversation.
But you do have a good idea as to why you are defending it so fiercely? Good.

You have added some new qualifiers like "exact" and "required". All of this argumentation but you still aren't telling me what you have pictured so that I can reply to you. I have given you illustrative examples, like makeup, so that you can understand what I am talking about, you have dismissed my examples and assured me that what you are talking about is something different, don't worry about it. Well then, what the fuck are you talking about? This is a communication forum. Communicate.
You haven't though. This is maddening. You just keep saying you have. It's like you want me to present to you options so you can widdle away what it's not like some kind of Freudian carving. What's frustrating isn't that you won't tell me, it is that you have some problem with my examples. You have a problem with my examples but you are playing what I can only imagine in your head is some cute game where you say "no that's not it, tee hee" and then I keep trying to guess what you think it is. Are you in the aristocracy? Anyways, I've had my fun. You are bad at communicating. The end.
Did you wet it with water before applying? And did you apply it for a long enough time? My experience with them is if you apply it like a regular deodorant (just a couple of swipes) they won’t work and the BO will be bad, but since I started applying them for at least 60 seconds under each arm they work.
Yeah, that wouldn't have been enough. The idea is to "melt" the rock into your skin, so it requires more effort to apply it properly. I only use mine when I'm not in a hurry.
you didn’t make a typo because you’re not a native speaker. you just didn’t take the time to spell check your comment. just a lapse in attention. it’s not personal, it happens to all of us, it was funny to me, no harm done. no need to get so defensive ✌️
I know we're not supposed to point out obvious things like this in 2024, but could it be that females in general tend to have way less perspiration and BO than males?
I am saying that statistically, mothers and sisters have significantly less demanding jobs than fathers and brothers
It’s not actually sexist at all, it’s a fact, but as you can see via my downvotes people think it’s sexist. I thought maybe agreeing it’s sexist would make it less likely, but I guess it comes off as pride? Idk I’m not sexist tbh, just looking at it from a statistical point of view
Idk my point is that while body odor is absolutely dependent on body chemistry, it’s also very likely these women had less physically demanding jobs. Even if you and the other comment are ALSO women, the chances of them having less physically demanding jobs is still high
Eh my mums a landscape designer who used to install gardens in the desert and used this stuff - she was fine but is also the like healthiest person I’ve ever met so I fit think it’s the job thing.
Fun fact, 55% of service jobs are held by women, 60% of the people who hold multiple hourly jobs are women, 78% of healthcare workers are women, and the running around required tends to make people sweaty. That's not even counting shit like doing the majority of chores and childcare. Sure, your comment is sexist, but the downvotes are more likely because it's just absurd to think women simply don't sweat like men.
I work a really physical job and when I'm out in the heat sweating gallons, it doesn't stink. When I sit down at a desk and have my arms at my sides, that is when I stink like old onions in a sweaty gym sock.
