Short single-speaker review by Shereene Idriss of Dove's newly released Whole Body deodorant (YouTube Short). The reviewer finds the coconut/vanilla scent cheap-smelling and prefers the unscented option (notes unscented is masked, not fragrance-free). Describes formula as aluminum-free and lightweight, and explains ingredient roles: zinc neodecanoate (zinc salts) for odor absorption, cornstarch for moisture wicking, and mandelic plus lactic acids for supporting the skin microbiome.

This Dove whole body deodorant that just came out this year. It is a light, moisturizing body deodorant. I actually want to show you guys I am not paid by them. This one has a scent of coconut and vanilla and I kind of think it smells a little cheap, but that's okay. It is aluminum free. Not that aluminum is dangerous, but the way that this works is interesting. It has a combination of zinc neo decanoate, which is basically zinc salts that help to absorb body odors. It also has cornstarch in it which is going to help wick away that extra moisture. Plus mandelic acid and lactic acid which are going to help restabilize your skin's microbiome to make sure that you're not in an imbalance of bacteria on your skin because it's really the bacteria that's going to cause you also to have worse bo. It's interesting. It's very lightweight. It doesn't feel suffocating. I'm just not a fan of this scent. But apparently they have an unscented version. But unscented is not fragrance free. It's just masked. So just beware.
