Body Mint, a favorite of Hollywood in-crowd

Local product, a natural for rich and glamorous

Get Fresh! Reduce breath, underarm and foot odors.

Body Mint, the all-natural little green tablet that reduces body odors including bad breath, underarm and foot odor, was created in Hawaii by three entrepreneurs.

From its humble beginnings, this product quickly made its way into the national spotlight.

As CNN first reported, the moment Body Mint made its debut at Henri Bendels on 5th Avenue, the jetset fell in love with it.

A few weeks ago, Body Mint was featured in US Magazine as one of the year's hottest items in the "goodie bags" at the Warner Brother's Oscar dinner. The bags at Ebony Magazine's recent Hollywood in Harlem gala also included Body Mint. Among the celebrity bag recipients were Jamie Foxx, Hilary Swank, Morgan Freeman, Ashanti, Cate Blanchett, and Oprah.

The product is a natural for a city like Hollywood, where smelling good is as important as looking good.

And there's no stigma attached! Folks pop breath strips and mints all the time and people don't assume its because of a bad breath problem.

"Since Body Mint is so popular in Hollywood, using it is considered cool," says Rona Yim, Body Mint co-founder. "It isn't about body odors. Body Mint is about being as attractive as you can be and having the confidence to know that you smell fresh from head to toe."

And it's more than just a cool product – it's a product that actually works. The Los Angeles Times ran an article by columnist Greg Morago on Body Mint's effectiveness. Morago writes, "On my sixth day without using my roll-on, I am convinced that Body Mint is working."

Fortune Magazine correspondent Art Chung reports, "An unscientific experiment by this reporter found that after a few days my "morning breath" became noticeably less stale and a stiff workout at the gym did not result in the usual gamey odor."

Body Mint is available at stores throughout Hawaii, and on the Mainland at Sav-On Drugs, Osco Drugs, Eckerds, Brooks Drugs and Whole Foods Markets. Look for the new trial packs available at checkout counters and see why so many people are talking about this cool product that really works!
