Revlon class action lawsuits claim Mitchum 'unscented' deodorant contains fragrance.

Revlon class action lawsuits claim Mitchum 'unscented' deodorant contains fragrance. By Top Class Actions | September 21, 2026. Revlon class action lawsuits overview: * Who: Four consumers filed two separate class action lawsuits against Revlon Consumer Products LLC. * Why: The plaintiffs claim Revlon falsely markets its Mitchum antiperspirant and deodorant as "unscented," even though the products contain added fragrance. * Where: The Revlon class action lawsuits were filed in New York and California federal courts. Revlon is facing two class action lawsuits accusing the company of mislabeling its Mitchum Triple Odor Defense Unscented Antiperspirant and Deodorant and Mitchum Unscented deodorant, sold in gel and roll-on varieties, as fragrance-free. The plaintiffs all claim Revlon prominently markets the products as "unscented," leading consumers, including many who specifically avoid fragrance because of skin sensitivities or allergies, to believe the products contain no scent ingredients at all. According to the class action lawsuits, the "unscented" promise is false since the products' own ingredient lists disclose "parfum (fragrance)," which the complaints say is synonymous with perfume and scent. Plaintiffs Nicole Flick and Lloyd Songer allege the products were genuinely fragrance-free before Revlon reformulated them around early 2021 to add scent while continuing to sell them under the same "Unscented" label. The plaintiffs say they specifically sought out fragrance-free deodorant, relied on the "unscented" claim when they bought the products and paid a price premium they say they would not have paid, or would not have purchased the products at all, had they known the products contained added fragrance. Mitchum unscented deodorant allegedly hides fragrance on roll-on label. For the roll-on version, the class action lawsuits allege the ingredient list, including the "parfum (fragrance)" listing, is visible only if a consumer peels back the printed label, something the complaints say few shoppers do before buying. Plaintiffs Angela Eason and Kevin Martineau argue that "[r]easonable consumers should [not] be expected to look beyond misleading representations on the front of the box to discover the truth from the ingredient list in small print on the side of the box," citing a 2018 federal appeals court ruling. The plaintiffs propose a nationwide class of U.S. purchasers, plus California and New York subclasses, covering purchases made three to four years before filing. The claims are generally pleaded as violations of California and New York consumer protection statutes, breach of warranty, unjust enrichment and fraud. Both lawsuits demand a jury trial. Other companies are also facing scrutiny over unscented deodorant claims. Two class action lawsuits accuse Church & Dwight and P&G of falsely marketing deodorants as "unscented" despite the products containing fragrance ingredients. Have you purchased Mitchum "unscented" deodorant or antiperspirant? Let us know in the comments. The plaintiffs are represented by Innessa M. Huot of Faruqi & Faruqi LLP; Brittany S. Scott of Smith Krivoshey P.C.; and Jack Fitzgerald, Melanie R. Monroe, Trevor M. Flynn, Kaden Byron, Allison Ferraro and Daniel Sachs of Fitzgerald Monroe Flynn P.C. The Revlon class action lawsuits are Eason, et al. v. Revlon Consumer Products LLC, Case No. 1:26-cv-05014, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York and Flick, et al. v. Revlon Consumer Products LLC, Case No. 3:26-cv-03602-TWR-MSB, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California. Don't miss out!

Created in partnership with Revlon The brand. When it comes to hair tools, Revlon knows what they're doing. The brand behind the iconic hot-tool brush that went viral on TikTok and quickly became a beauty-lover favourite, Revlon has earned cult status for making salon-worthy hair that bit easier to achieve at home. Built on the idea of bringing high-impact results into everyday routines without the hefty price tag, the brand has been a fixture in at-home beauty for decades.

The One-Step Volumiser Glow is the latest evolution of Revlon's viral One-Step range, which transforms wet hair to a bouncy, salon-quality blowout with just one tool. Inspired by its TikTok community - who even chose the new playful pink shade - it combines a hair dryer and oval brush to dry, smooth, volumise and shape in one easy step. The Tourmaline ceramic coating promises 22% more shine and 36% less breakage, while three heat settings and two speeds let you tailor the finish to your hair. There's plenty of attention to detail beyond the tool itself, too. The packaging comes with a removable mirror and a selection of stickers, bringing a more personal feel to the unboxing and letting you put your own stamp on it from the start. The options. The Full Bouncy Blow-Dry: Start with towel-dried hair, parting it into manageable sections. Work from the roots to your ends, rolling the brush under as you go for a bouncy curl. For maximum glamour, use some rollers for longer-lasting results. The Instant Lift: Wrap your front sections and hold for a few seconds before pulling through to re-volumise. If you have face-framing layers, this is your best friend - all you need is a quick wrap and hold to bring them back to life. Touch-Ups: Give your day-three hair an instant glow-up. A quick pass over the crown and you'll get rid of any frizz or pesky fly aways. Finishing Shine: Finish with a cool or low-heat pass down the lengths to smooth and add that salon-fresh shine.

Revlon modernizes Elizabeth Taylor's White Diamonds scent for Gen Z.

Revlon modernizes Elizabeth Taylor's White Diamonds scent for Gen Z. Key takeaways. * Revlon has launched White Diamonds Icon to modernize Elizabeth Taylor's legacy fragrance for younger consumers. * The perfume blends heritage notes with contemporary ingredients, including pink pepper. * The launch reflects strong fragrance market growth, with beauty brands expanding into perfumes and mists to tap Gen Z. Revlon has launched White Diamonds Icon from Elizabeth Taylor, a perfume reimagining a legacy scent for a rapidly evolving and growing fragrance market driven by Gen Z. Revlon describes the reimagined perfume "not as a reinvention of a classic, but as a conversation with it." The brand underlines its care taken to modernize the legacy fragrance while preserving its heritage and Taylor's influence. The original scent was crafted with the 50s classic Hollywood actress Elizabeth Taylor and is said to have helped launch an era of celebrity perfumery. The reimagined fragrance launched on the 35th anniversary of the original White Diamonds. "In a category defined by constant newness, enduring fragrance brands are rare. White Diamonds remains iconic because it represents something instantly recognizable: glamour, confidence, and Elizabeth Taylor's unmistakable cultural legacy," says Amber Garrison, president, Elizabeth Arden and Fragrances at Revlon. "As stewards of her vision for fragrance, our role is not simply to preserve that legacy, but to thoughtfully evolve it for today's fragrance consumers." Reimagining heritage. The fragrance features ingredients by IFF's LMR Naturals, including Green Mandarin LMR, Orange Flower LMR, Oakmoss LMR, and Cristalfizz, also by IFF. "We wanted to preserve the sparkle of her fragrances with Cristalfizz but modernized it with a touch of pink pepper for energy and edge," says Natasha Côté-Mouzannar, a senior perfumer at Catapano. White Diamonds Icon from Elizabeth Taylor Eau de Parfum is available on Amazon, while White Diamonds Icon Hair and Body Mist will be available on Amazon at the end of August.White Diamonds Icon aims to connect with a new generation of beauty consumers while preserving Elizabeth Taylor's fragrance heritage. As part of the efforts to preserve Taylor's legacy, a portion of the proceeds from every House of Taylor product continues to benefit The Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation, which provides direct care and support to people living with HIV and AIDS around the world. Fragrance boom. Gen Z has increasingly been impacting how brands position their fragrance marketing and scent developments. Many beauty players are aiming to appeal to the younger generation who are using scent as a form of self-expression. Earlier this month, NYX Professional Makeup entered fragrance with four hair and body mist products. Parent company L'Oréal positioned the new products as an affordable, TikTok-native entry into the fast-growing mass scent market. The launch is a deliberate play for Gen Z consumers. In another move to capture the attention of Gen Z, Diesel entered the women's fragrance category with Only Desire, a L'Oréal-licensed Eau de Parfum. The release was inaugurated with Gen Z actress and singer Dove Cameron as global ambassador. Additionally, Así Fragrances released a collection of over 50 personal and home fragrance products to encourage scent layering and rotation instead of a single signature personal fragrance - a trend that is rearing its head in Gen Z. Fragrance has generally been emerging as a category of interest in the personal care market through a series of product launches, market entries, and financial reports reflecting its sturdy performance. Bath & Body Works recently made its debut on the Brazilian beauty market with a store opening in São Paulo. The move is part of the company's international growth strategy and aims to tap into the growing regional demand for fragrance-led products. Meanwhile, Olaplex, the hair care brand specializing in bond repair treatments, has expanded into the fragrance category with the launch of its limited edition Signature Hair and Body mist. Similarly, earlier this year, Huda Beauty and PlusOne entered the fragrance category with respective product launches. The cosmetics brand unveiled its Easy Bake Intense eau de parfum. PlusOne's Pheromone-Inspired Perfume Oils collection taps into mood-enhancing and self-esteem-boosting claims aligned with neurocosmetic trends. The fragrance boom is also visible in financial reports. L'Oréal Group reported that fragrance was one of the primary segments driving its top-line growth in Q1 of 2026.
