About

Degree is a personal care brand owned by Unilever, originally launched in 1990 in the United States under the mission of delivering protection that keeps pace with active lifestyles. The brand was built around MotionSense technology — a microencapsulation system embedded in the deodorant formula that releases additional freshness-active ingredients in direct response to physical movement and body heat, providing increased protection precisely when protection is most needed. This responsive delivery mechanism became a defining product innovation that differentiated Degree from static deodorant formulas and established it as a performance-oriented choice for active consumers.\n\nDegree's product line spans antiperspirant and deodorant sticks, dry sprays, clinical-strength formulas, and a rapidly expanding whole body deodorant category launched in 2024 — products designed to address underarm odor protection in non-traditional body areas as consumer hygiene norms evolve. The brand operates across men's and women's segments, with Degree Men as one of the leading men's deodorant franchises in the US market. Degree also maintains a partnership program with Paralympic and adaptive athletes, embedding its active credentials with inclusive positioning that resonates across a broad consumer base.\n\nDegree is part of Unilever's personal care division, which contributes to Unilever's €60.5 billion total revenue in 2024. Within the US men's deodorant category, Degree Men holds market leadership alongside Old Spice, competing on performance credentials and broad retail distribution across mass, drug, and grocery channels. The brand's 2024 expansion into whole body deodorant reflects a broader market shift toward full-body freshness solutions and positions Degree to capture incremental volume in a category it helped define.
