Right Guard, based in the US, specializes in personal care products focusing on deodorants and antiperspirants designed specifically for men, emphasizing comfort and sweat protection. Founded in 1960 and headquartered in Bridgewater, US, Right Guard develops personal care products. The company has focused on the men's deodorant market and has undergone no reported changes in its business strategy. There is no information regarding subsidiaries or a parent company.

Right Guard specializes in the development and distribution of personal care products, primarily focused on deodorants and antiperspirants designed for men. Their flagship offerings include the Right Guard Xtreme Defense range, which features formulations such as dry sprays, gels, and invisible solids, all engineered to provide enhanced protection against sweat and odor. The company emphasizes a new 75% plant-based formula that offers twice the sweat and odor blocking capabilities compared to conventional antiperspirants. These products are utilized during everyday activities, allowing users to maintain confidence and comfort throughout their day.

Right Guard's customer base predominantly includes male consumers in North America and Europe, where their products are widely available through major retailers and e-commerce platforms. The revenue model of Right Guard is built on direct-to-consumer and retail partnerships, facilitating transactions through multiple channels including supermarkets, drugstores, and online marketplaces. Customers purchase individual products, taking advantage of both standard pricing and promotional offers, which enhances sales volume. Right Guard’s product offerings, particularly the Xtreme Defense line, are positioned as premium solutions in the personal care market, allowing the company to capture a segment of the market that values quality and performance.

This dual approach supports consistent revenue generation while promoting brand loyalty among users who prioritize effective, long-lasting protection against sweat and odor. In June 2021, Thriving Brands, LLC, a portfolio company of Trive Capital, fully acquired Dry Idea from Henkel Corporation. This transaction allows Henkel Corporation to focus on its core categories while supporting its beauty care business. Future plans for Right Guard include designing and launching new products, although specific details were not disclosed.

The company may explore expansion into additional markets; however, targeted regions and timelines for this strategy have not been specified. Recent funding will support these initiatives by allowing the company to enhance its product line and penetrate new markets effectively.
