Console-Themed Body Wash

Microsoft Partnered with Axe to Release an Xbox Body Wash

— June 5, 2019 — Tech
Microsoft is building on gaming-themed items and bringing it into the personal hygiene market with Xbox Body wash. The move comes as a result of a partnership with Axe body spray and the pair will release Xbox-themed hygiene products including, body wash, shower gel, body spray, and deodorant. Gaming-themed products have come in many forms in the past as clothing, and furniture have been prominent items for game enthusiasts to purchase. However, this venture will mark the first game-themed personal hygiene products from a major console manufacturer.

The company has stated that its body wash has a green citrus smell, with notes of lime, lemon, and herbs like mint and sage. The Xbox body wash, as well as the Xbox personal hygiene line, will be launching in Australia and will do so this July.
