- BVIC is a targeted concentrate for microbial odour that develops in skin folds and high-friction areas, including the underarms, bra line, groin, gluteal cleft, behind the ears, behind the knees and feet.
- BVIC offers more efficient odour control by targeting three malodour pathways. Deodorants address only one.
- BVIC can be used on its own as a daily deodorant alternative, or as part of the Volatile Control System to help manage persistent odour.
BVIC is a strong match if your odour is:
BVIC is not a match if your odour is:
BVIC Endurance (Stick) + Bio-Clear: Poly Acid Daily Wash, Bio-Reset: Poly Acid Resurfacing Wash and the BVI Barrier Cream must be used as a system to control these persistent odours.

How to apply
Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin and rub in well, wherever you get this kind of microbial odour: the underarms, behind the ears, under the breasts and along the bra line, the tummy folds, the groin (externally only), the gluteal cleft, behind the knees, and the feet. A small amount covers each site.
How long one application holds is not the same for everyone, and we cannot promise a single number. For some people a single application carries for several days, even through daily showers. For others it covers around a day and is best used daily. Both are normal.

How does it work
BVIC works on the odour, not the sweat. On clean skin it lowers the microbes behind three of the most common odours, neutralises the acids they release into salts that cannot evaporate, captures what remains, and acts on the yeast at the fungal source.
The result is targeted control across pathways a single deodorant leaves untouched: the sour, vinegary note, the surface onion or garlic note, and the yeasty note.
Common questions
Is BVIC a deodorant or an antiperspirant?
Neither in the usual sense. It is a targeted treatment for the microbial odours a deodorant leaves behind. It is not an antiperspirant. It does not reduce sweat, and will not keep you dry.
How is it different from my normal deodorant?
A deodorant suppresses the bacteria behind a single odour pathway. BVIC controls three on its own: the sour, vinegary note produced by volatile fatty acids, the onion or garlic note (surface level) produced by a sulfur compound, and the yeasty note produced by the yeast Malassezia. The last two are the notes deodorants leave untouched.
How often should I use it?
It depends on your body. It is not the same for everyone. For some people one application carries for several days, even through daily showers. For others it covers around a day and is best used daily. Both are normal.
Where can I apply it?
Wherever this kind of microbial odour develops: the underarms, behind the ears, under the breasts and along the bra line, the tummy folds, the groin (externally only), the gluteal cleft, behind the knees, and the feet. A small amount covers each site.
Will it stain my clothes?
No, not if you apply it correctly. Always apply on clean, dry skin and rub well. Never apply on wet or damp skin. Give it a couple of minutes to settle before you dress.
Is it safe for sensitive skin?
It is made for sensitive and reactive skin. Do not apply to irritated, inflamed or broken skin. If irritation occurs, stop use immediately. For external use only.
Can I use it while pregnant or breastfeeding?
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before use.
Why does it not work on fishy or ammonia-like odours?
By design, BVIC is buffered to the alkaline end of the pH scale, making it effective against the acid odours. This property would make amine odours, the fishy and ammonia-like notes, more noticeable. One product cannot be optimised for both at once, so that limit is deliberate. We are launching other products as part of the Volatile Control System to manage odours of this nature.
Do I need the rest of the Volatile Control System?
No. On its own, BVIC controls three of the most common microbial odours. For persistent odours BVIC cannot control, look into the Volatile Control System.
Is it vegan and cruelty-free?
Yes. BVIC is vegan and cruelty-free, and made for sensitive and reactive skin.
Does it have a scent?
It is a fragrance-free formula. It carries only the mild, pleasant smell of its own ingredients.
What size is it?
The full size is 50g. We are considering launching a discovery/travel size in the future.
Please note
Bio-Volatile Inhibitor Concentrate addresses microbial body odour at the skin surface. It is not a medicine and does not treat any medical condition. Persistent, sudden, or unexplained body odour can have an underlying cause worth discussing with a doctor. For external use only. Avoid using on broken skin.
