Dove Men+Care Launches New Whole Body Deodorant

The new sticks, creams and sprays offer all-day care and odor protection wherever you need it most – from pits, privates to feet.

ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., Feb. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Men are conscious of odor beyond their underarms. Proprietary research finds 17% of men are already using underarm deodorant on the soles of their feet and 44% are using it on their private area. Yet, when men try to find solutions for areas of their body with more sensitive or vulnerable skin, they have trouble finding the right product. To bridge this gap, Dove Men+Care, a powerhouse men's grooming brand in the U.S., is debuting its Dove Men+Care Whole Body Deo range.

Tested by leading dermatologists, the Dove Men+Care Whole Body Deo range is a first-of-its-kind innovation from the brand – one that uses proprietary odor prevention technology to target the source of body odor. Suitable to use from pits, privates, to feet, this deodorant range is infused with Vitamin E for a non-irritant formula free of aluminum and parabens. These skin-conditioning ingredients and moisture absorbers the new deodorant is tough on odor, but not on skin.

Dove Men+Care created Whole Body Deo based on specific insights about consumer's needs: only 2% of consumers are currently using whole body deodorant, but a staggering 76% of men want to try a product like this. "The conversation around body odor for men was often limited to the underarm," says Pranav Chandan, Category Head of U.S. Deodorants at Unilever. "Men want solutions for other areas. It's time for a product that men can use everywhere anytime – from pits, to privates, to feet. Our new Whole Body Deo is the singular solution to the multifaceted needs men have."

The Dove Men+Care Whole Body Deo range includes three new formats in scents like Aloe + Bamboo and Shea + Cedarwood:

• Dove Men+Care Whole Body Deo Stick – Featuring a rounded dome for easier application beyond the underarm, the Deo Stick has a smooth glide. Formulated with moisture absorbers like arrowroot powder and silica, this deodorant stick helps prevent chafing.
• Dove Men+Care Whole Body Deo Spray – The Deo Spray is infused with skin-conditioning ingredients like glycerin and heavy-duty odor-fighters like zinc neodecanoate. When applied, it's invisible on skin, leaving no sticky residue. It's also designed with easy application in mind – men can even use this product upside down.
• Dove Men+Care Whole Body Deo Cream – Infused with skin-conditioning ingredients like sunflower seed oil and glycerin, the Deodorant Cream works into skin quickly and easily, with no visible residue. The cream has corn starch, making it well-suited for moisture absorption in the private area.

Dove Men+Care Whole Body Deo is now available at major retailers. For more information about the new range, visit DoveMenCare.com and follow @DoveMenCare on Instagram and Twitter.
