Roll Your Way Into A Sweat Free Summer With Revolutionary New DeoDry™ by The Body Shop. Whom You Know Recommends Cool and Zesty!

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 stick formula glides on easily and doesn't leave any tell-tale white stains and streaks on my dark-colored clothing.
 The Cool & Zesty scent is citrusy and invigorating, quite refreshing in the warmer weather.

Staying cool in the city can sometimes be a challenge on the hottest days.  The Body Shop answers this challenge with deodorant that works hard to keep us cool as cucumbers.  From the moment we twisted off the cap on The Body Shop’s DeoDry Cool & Zesty Roll-On, we were greeted with an invigorating citrusy aroma that awakened our senses.  Packaged in a spa-like, sleek container, this product rolled on wet and clear, and produced an immediate cooling sensation that felt great on our skin.  Who knew applying deodorant could be so much fun?  Once applied, the deodorant dried immediately and protection lasted 24 hours.  The Body Shop also offers refill cartridges for their Roll-On deodorants, to reduce consumer waste.  We think that’s pretty fantastic!

As most of us know, it is hard to find that perfect brand of deodorant. But then I tried this deodorant and I've been happy ever since. The best thing about this deodorant is: it works. First of all, it stays put. It lasts all day and you only need a minimal amount. You don't have to worry about any cakey leftover residue or unattractive stains on your clothes. I personally have never had problems with underarm sweat since I've been using this. If you have shaved your underarms and have razor burn, this product will not irritate the skin. It is gentle and strong at the same time. Not to mention the smell is great too. Even if you haven't had the time to take a shower, this product will leave you smelling and feeling clean.

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 also enjoy that this goes on more smoothly and doesn't have the same texture as some of the other gel deodorants do. I think this is a wonderful product. I enjoy the scent as well.



This deodorant Cool & Zesty stick smells so refreshing! It is very aromatic, and reminds me of the oils I use for relaxation. It has 24-hour protection against perspiration, so reapplying frequently won’t be necessary. I wore it all day and didn’t have to apply once! It kept me fresh and smelling good the entire day. It is made out of volcanic mineral and essential oils, giving the Body Shop deodorant that special component. It’s also paraben free and is against animal testing, which is very important to me.  It’s non-irritating to the skin, and smells so good! I just love it!
