The (almost) daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 30 July 2020 6 Comments

Aha, who knew I could run through so much hand sanitizer? A possible addition to my collection, although I don't know if the alcohol level is high enough: Aesop's Resurrection Rinse-Free Hand Wash, with mandarin, rosemary and cedar. "An alcohol-based hand wash to cleanse and refresh. The perfect, pocket-sized product to ensure perpetually clean hands. When fresh water is unavailable, this gentle formula will kill bacteria and combat contagions, simultaneously delivering moisturising agents to ensure hands aren't stripped of moisture. The essential companion for those who travel by public transport." 50 ml for $10 at Luckyscent.

Posted by Robin on 30 July 2020 1 Comment

Researchers from the University of York worked with scientists from Unilever, which is the company behind some of the most popular brands of deodorants, to discover a so-called “BO enzyme.” That specific enzyme is only found within certain bacteria and is responsible for the characteristic armpit odor. The research specifically highlighted how the bacteria evolved a specialized design to produce key molecules humans perceive as body odor.
