Q: What is Shield MotionSense?
A: Shield MotionSense is the world’s first anti-perspirant with unique microcapsules that are activated by movement, leaving you feeling fresh and protected throughout the day. Its anti-perspirant active and smart fragrance system respond directly to movement providing you with bursts of freshness as you move.
Q: How does Shield MotionSense anti-perspirant work?
A: Activated by movement, moisture and body temperature, Shield’s breakthrough MotionSense technology releases bursts of freshness and fragrance when you need it most. Patented capsules break when triggered by friction providing protection against odour. The antiperspirant active ingredient kicks in from your first move of the day and then keeps working to deliver 48 hours of sweat control, eliminating bad odour at the source.
Q: Why was Shield MotionSense technology developed?
A: As a brand that is recognised for expertise and product innovation, Shield developed the MotionSense range to revolutionise the way anti-perspirants work. Shield MotionSense was designed with people who love to move in mind

A: Put simply, the more you move, the more it works. Shield MotionSense anti-perspirant has tiny microcapsules that are activated by movement, and leaves you feeling fresh and protected throughout the day.
Shield MotionSense technology is based on a smart fragrance system with specially designed fragrance oils, patented Shear encapsulate fragrances and starch encapsulate fragrances that respond to triggers such as movement, moisture and temperature.
Most deodorants work in more or less the same way, with their freshness fading during the course of the day. Shield MotionSense moves and works with you, giving you bursts of freshness when you need it most.
Q: What’s the smart fragrance system with patented encapsulated fragrances?
A: The smart fragrance system is a unique formula consisting of Shield’s fragrance oil, patented Shear encapsulated fragrance and Starch encapsulated fragrance.
Shield’s patented Shear encapsulated fragrance responds to the friction that is created by motion. The capsules, found in both Shield MotionSense anti-perspirant aerosol and roll-on, burst in response to movement, releasing the specially designed fragrances throughout the day.
Starch encapsulated fragrance dissolves in the presence of moisture, releasing specially designed fragrances throughout the day. These are found in Shield MotionSense anti-perspirant aerosol and work alongside the Shear capsules.
