The Body Shop DeoDry Chilled and Breezy Roll-On 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:


The Body Shop’s DeoDry Chilled & Breezy Stick deodorant is a traditional stick-type application, but the company takes a natural, eco-friendly approach by using essential oils and volcanic minerals.  The product was virtually dry to the touch and the scent reminded us of a calming day at the beach, complete with ocean breeze.   Even in 90-degree summer heat, the Body Shop’s product delivered results.  The only scent we detected was the fresh and fragrant essential oil in the product.  And just as fabulous was its flawless, invisible application.  No unsightly white marks on clothing made this an exceptional product!  It’s perfect for your little black dress or favorite black t-shirt.  We love this product and highly recommend it.    


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 Chilled & Breezy scent is cool and tingly, it's actually the most inviting in this heatwave that we're having.  I will definitely be reaching for this the remainder of this summer and beyond.




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.



No one likes smelly armpits. The deodorant by Body Shop is essential for someone who’s big on smell. Get it in Chilled & Breezy for the fresh and cool smell. It’s also a roll-on deodorant, which means you don’t get that nasty white residue that most deodorants tend to leave. It goes on smoothly and absorbs quickly. It doesn’t leave your armpits uncomfortably wet. It lasts for hours and reapplying won’t be necessary. This deodorant is definitely one of my favorites.


Right after application it dried pretty quickly and lasted all day long. It keeps you smelling good, no matter if you've done an intense workout, or the weather was blazing hot. I would definitely use this product again. The packaging is attractive too. I like how it doesn't leave you with white streaks whenever you try to put on a black shirt.  I wish I could hand these out on the subway to people who smell strongly of body odor, because this would wipe out that stench in a second! Everyone should have 24 hour protection!
