FAQ

Check the website periodically for samples and special promotions. AXE also works with many of your favorite retailers to distribute samples to consumers. Sometimes non-Unilever sites may offer promotional items, samples, coupons, etc. for our products. However, we are not responsible in any way for the content on these sites nor can we ensure the validity of these offers.

AXE products are sold in pharmacies and supermarkets all over the country. Although we would like each of our products to be available in all stores, shelf space and consumer demand sometimes limit the number of items a retailer is willing to carry. If you are unable to find a certain variety, please try our item locator on each product on the website which can help you locate a nearby store. 

If you are still unable to locate your product, please call our free phone Consumer Services number located on your package Monday – Friday 8.30am to 6pm GMT time where we can further assist you.

While perspiration by itself does not have any odour, when it meets the bacteria that are always present on your skin, odour develops. A bodyspray works against that odour, while an antiperspirant helps stop the perspiration itself. By preventing wetness, an antiperspirant keeps you protected. A bodyspray, on the other hand, works by reducing body odour and has little or no anti-perspirant activity.

Any product Containing Glycerin and / or Stearic Acid contains animal by-products. Stearic acid comes from beef tallow and Glycerin may be either synthetic or natural which is derived from beef tallow or coconut.

We do not specifically test our products for the presence of gluten, a sticky protein found in some grains such as wheat. Gluten may be present in products that contain derivatives of wheat, oat, rye, and barley. In labeling our products, our company follows the guidelines established by the International Nomenclature for Cosmetics Ingredients (INCI). Therefore, if we use an ingredient derived from a grain such as wheat, oat, rye and / or barley, those names will appear on the label, i.e. 'Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein'. If you see this name on the label, the material was derived from wheat, so the product may contain gluten. If you have further questions regarding specific ingredients, we recommend consulting with your physician as to whether your exposure to grain derivatives from the use of personal care products may cause you unfavorable symptoms.

Animal testing is a contentious issue, and there are strong and diverse opinions on the need for animal testing to underpin the development of new consumer products, particularly cosmetics. Unilever is required to provide animal data to comply with the safety regulations in place in different countries across the world. Where we are legally obliged to commission animal studies, we ensure that the minimum numbers of animals are used. Unilever is committed to the elimination of animal testing for its business, and is at the forefront of research into non-animal approaches for assessing consumer safety. Currently, a very small amount of animal testing is still necessary to deliver innovative products that provide consumer benefits and are market competitive. At Unilever, using non-animal approaches is the norm. Most of our products reach consumers without testing any of their ingredients on animals. We do not test our actual products on animals (any testing is undertaken on individual ingredients), and we do not undertake animal testing in our own laboratories (any studies are conducted by third party laboratories). A few countries still undertake product testing in their government laboratories. We are working with the local authorities to ensure the implementation of non-animal methods.

Because we recognise the importance of preserving natural resources, AXE and Unilever are engaged in a series of programmes designed to address a number of issues concerning the environment. These issues range from biodegradability to recycling. Our company actively participates in industry-wide coalitions and trade associations which are working toward solutions to solid waste problems. We have established a center devoted entirely to the development and testing of new packaging materials and concepts. Company efforts to reduce solid waste include recycling projects, packages which can be recycled and use of recycled materials. Our scientists are also conducting studies on a broad range of product formulas and ingredients to ensure their environmental compatibility.

We have compressed our regular cans into smaller ones. The smaller Compressed cans last just as long and work just as well as the regular cans. We’ve reengineered the spray system, reducing the amount of gas needed to deliver the same amount of product with each spray. This allows the Compressed cans to last just a long and work just as well as the regular cans. You can find out more here: link
