Sym Deo B125 (INCI: Caprylyl Glycol, Polyglyceryl-4 Caprate, and related glycol-based blend) is a deodorant active that reduces underarm odor by inhibiting the bacterial enzymes responsible for converting sweat components into malodorous compounds, rather than acting as a traditional antiperspirant. It is used in deodorant formulations as a gentle, non-aluminum odor-control agent.
