Whether you need a quick spritz after the gym or want to freshen up before date night, this light body spray offers a clean, woodsy scent and natural odor-deterrents, such as aloe leaf, chamomile, and jojoba seed extract. This non-aerosol spray is free of aluminum, menthol, and parabens.
“Bálla Body Spray has a fantastic aroma. It is neither too overpowering nor too faint. It’s perfect—just right. I really didn’t think I would use this product as much as I do, but it’s become as essential as brushing my teeth in the morning. I’ve made my friends smell me after I’ve applied this body spray. That’s how much I believe in this product.” —Beauty Buzz Member Conor Reynolds, 26, Baltimore
