Degree is a leading antiperspirant and deodorant brand owned by Unilever, first introduced in the United States in 1990. Known as Rexona in most international markets and Sure in the United Kingdom, the brand operates under the Degree name primarily in North America. Degree is recognized for its advanced motion-activated technology, MotionSense, which releases bursts of fragrance capsules in response to body movement, providing fresher protection during physical activity. The brand offers a wide range of products for both men and women, including antiperspirant sticks, dry sprays, clinical-strength formulas, and the Degree Unlimited line. Degree has positioned itself as the go-to antiperspirant for active lifestyles, sponsoring athletes and partnering with major sporting events to reinforce its performance-focused identity. In 2021, Degree launched the world's first adaptive deodorant designed for people with disabilities, featuring a hooked design for one-handed use, a magnetic closure, and braille labeling, demonstrating the brand's commitment to inclusivity and accessibility. The brand's product innovations focus on providing long-lasting wetness and odor protection for up to 72 hours. Degree remains one of the top-selling deodorant brands in North America, competing effectively in a crowded market through continuous innovation and a strong connection to the active consumer lifestyle.

Degree delivers exactly what most consumers need from a deodorant: reliable odor and wetness protection at an accessible price point. The MotionSense technology represents genuine differentiation in a category where many products make similar claims, and the 72-hour protection formulas perform well in real-world conditions for most users. The adaptive deodorant designed for people with disabilities is a genuinely commendable innovation that shows thoughtful product design beyond marketing gimmicks. Distribution through Unilever ensures wide availability at competitive pricing. However, Degree faces growing headwinds from the natural deodorant movement. Consumers increasingly concerned about aluminum compounds, parabens, and synthetic fragrances are migrating to brands like Native, Schmidt, or Lume that position themselves as cleaner alternatives. Degree product formulations, while effective, are conventionally chemical-heavy by modern standards. The brand identity is functional but forgettable -- it lacks the cultural resonance of Old Spice or the premium positioning of premium newcomers. Innovation has been incremental rather than transformative. Degree is a perfectly adequate mass-market deodorant that does its job reliably, but it struggles to generate enthusiasm in a personal care category that increasingly rewards brands with a stronger point of view.
