Written by Bill McClure | Aug 9, 2024 2:00:00 PM

As the deodorant market grows more competitive, consumers face challenges in selecting the best-suited products. Brands seize this opportunity by creating product claims that highlight their advantages and build consumer loyalty, aiming to sway purchasing decisions in their favor.

Explore the deodorant claims that brands are leveraging to attract both new and existing consumers in this competitive landscape:

Top performance claims:

All day odor neutralizing protection
Consumers look for deodorants that are effective throughout the entire day without breakthrough periods. Formulations must neutralize odors at the source, ensuring protection from ineffectiveness and malodors.
Smooth, easy application
Consumers prefer deodorants that are easy to apply and do not cause clumping or build-up. Formulations must assure buyers that their deodorant will apply smoothly without pulling or unwanted friction.
Helps prevent skin irritation
Consumers prioritize avoiding skin sensitization or irritation after applying deodorant. Formulations must cater to buyers with sensitive skin, ensuring the product leaves their skin feeling refreshed and comfortable.
Does not leave residues 
Consumers value deodorants that do not leave residues. Formulations must ensure that the product does not leave any visible or sticky residues on the skin or fabric after application, providing a clean and comfortable feel throughout the day.
Skin conditioning
When searching for deodorant products, consumers prefer formulations that provide a soothing application and conditioning benefits. Formulations that leave the skin smooth and healthy entice consumers to choose your product over another.

 

Other performance claims:

Cruelty free
Consumers highly value cruelty-free labels. Formulations should ensure that no harm or killing of animals occurs during the manufacturing process.
Vegan and natural ingredients 
As more consumers prioritize eco-consciousness and ingredient awareness, formulations must meet this demand. Incorporating vegan and natural ingredients not only aligns with these values but also appeals to a broader audience, enticing everyone to choose your products.
