The Body Shop's Deodry Fresh & Floral Stick Recommended by Whom You Know

Treat your armpits to a deodorant with all the benefits of an anti-perspirant without the inclusion of pore-clogging ingredients generally used to stop sweating, and discover the new deodry collection, the first deodorant collection of its kind from the Body Shop, powered by natural volcanic mineral, delivering dryness and 24-hour odor protection.  Brand new to the market, this line we just had to try!

The products are free from aluminium salts and parabens but still deliver excellent dryness and odor control, plus they won’t leave white marks on your clothes.   Deodry keeps you dry with its unique international patent-pending technology, featuring natural volcanic mineral in an ultra-fine powder with remarkable water absorption capacity.   It is this powder that absorbs wetness, so your underarms stay fresh and dry and you can feel confident for up to 24 hours.   Deodry deodorants also contain a blend of essential oils which provide a natural anti-bacterial effect.  The deodry collection also features skin-caring organic Community trade aloe vera sourced from Guatemala.    Roll-on is also available as a refill, which means you can screw on the refill onto the original roll-on applicator, and do your bit to help reduce waste in the environment.

The Whom You Know panel put this to the test, and they state:

Since many of us are making an effort these days to go green and be environmentally-conscious, let's not forget there's one more way for us to do that, via our choice of deodorant.  The Body Shop, a trusted name, that's been at the forefront of this earth-friendly movement, just released a new line of deodorants called DeoDry Dry-Effect Deodorant.  For those of us going thru this scorcher of an early summer, there isn't a better time to put this deodorant to the test.  Made with Community Trade aloe vera from Guatemala and alcohol sourced from alcohol sourced from organic sugar cane in Ecuador, this product also doesn't contain any aluminum salts and parabens, unlike the usual standard drug store deodorant.  A unique volcanic mineral actually absorbs excess moisture.  This deodorant comes in solid stick formula and a liquid roll-on.  The roll-on formula is a bit of a throwback to the roll-on deodorants that were very popular when I was growing up in the
 80's.  The liquid dries quickly and doesn't leave any stains or streaks behind on my clothes.  The Fresh & Floral scent is the most feminine of the 3 scents that this deodorant comes in, however the floral notes are light and soft.

I am always looking for a deodorant that works great without the use of anti-perspirant.  I know some of the ingredients in anti-perspirant aren't the best since they block pores to help keep you dry.  Not this deodorant!    The all natural volcanic minerals and essential oils help keep you dry.  I love that it's more natural and uses no aluminum salts. I also like the fact that it goes on clear.  I love to wear tank tops during the summer and even the "invisible solids" that I prefer leave white residue on my shirts.  I've never really liked the other roll on deodorants I've tried.  I do, however, like this one.  And, I love the floral scent!

I love the way it smells! It reminds me of great smelling candles. But, it is by no means overpowering. It goes on easily, no mess, and is effective all day. The hardest part is picking the scent that you like best! I usually like to alternate scents depending on my mood, and with the body shop you can. This is the only deodorant I trust.  It works.  I've tried other perfumed products or the latest thing and don't find they give the best results like this does.  Even after an intense workout, I don't notice an odor when I'm using this.  I highly recommend it.
 
Another essential product from The Body Shop is their DeoDry Fresh & Floral Stick.  Remove the pretty pink cap and breathe in the scent, and you’ll be transported to an English garden full of lush roses.  This deodorant also applied as a clear product and worked hard just as promised.  It offered consistent protection for a full day.   Ideal for sensitive skin, the DeoDry products don’t include aluminum salts or parabens commonly found in other odor protection products.  Instead, you’ll find essential oils and volcanic minerals in their formulas.  Aside from providing lasting odor protection and incorporating essential oils to create wonderful scents, our favorite feature of this deodorant trio from The Body Shop is the invisibility factor.   Keep your clothes looking perfect all day long, no matter the temperature.   We highly recommend DeoDry!  

The Fresh and Floral deodorant stick is true to its name. It smells like flowers, and has a romantic scent to it. It is easy to use and has a smooth application. One really likeable feature of this deodorant is that it doesn’t leave any streaks behind. I wore it with a black shirt and was so nervous that it would show up, but to my luck there was no traces of deodorant on the shirt! After a long night out, I didn’t even have to reapply! Instead of smelling funky, I smelled like fresh flowers. I liked this so much I even got one for a friend of mine. It’s also paraben free and kind to the skin, which means it’s especially good for us with sensitive skin.
