A First in Scent Prevention For Women Hunters
Women in the hunting industry have long been overlooked when it comes to products tailored specifically for them. As the fastest growing segment in the hunting industry, it’s about time someone took notice of female hunters. Dead Down Wind®, the number one scent prevention company on the market, proudly introduces HUNTRESS®, the first ever scent prevention product line formulated exclusively for women hunters.

HUNTRESS® was meticulously designed and extensively field-tested by a hand picked panel of female hunters with overwhelming success.

“During the creative process for HUNTRESS® we took a two-tiered approach at how we developed the products,” explains HUNTRESS® Product Specialist, Kristin Carpenter. “First, we wanted the products to be effective and second we wanted to be able to stay feminine. Until now, women have been borrowing everything from clothing and boots to hygiene products from our male counterparts.” Carpenter continues, “When we were looking for women to help out with the development process, it was extremely important that we find qualified female hunters who had extensive time in the field. I think the women on the development board cover a wide array of personalities and give us exactly what we need to continue to create quality products.”

Freelance writer, and HUNTRESS® development board member, Claudia Eisenmann, explains what an important role field-testing played in the creation of the products.

"I used all of the products last year in conditions ranging from strenuous Canadian mountain hunts to Southern farmland whitetail hunts and I had my best season ever.”

All HUNTRESS® products are bioengineered using Nanozymes™ and Fusion Technology™. This patentable technology terminates and prevents the reoccurrence of a broad spectrum of odor causing molecules that include human odors, smoke, gas and a wide variety of other contaminant odors. Also, in keeping with the Dead Down Wind standard, HUNTRESS® products are made with all natural, environmentally friendly, biodegradable ingredients.

“We proudly display all our ingredients right on the bottles. We’re not hiding anything, because there’s nothing to hide. HUNTRESS® prides itself in being hunter and eco-conscience,” Carpenter adds.

The HUNTRESS® exclusive product line consists of: Body Wash, Shampoo, Conditioner, Hair Gel, Body Lotion, Antiperspirant, two shades of Tinted Face Moisturizer and two shades of Tinted Lip Balm. Also available is a complete kit. The kit consists of all the products listed above, including both shades of Tinted Face Moisturizer and both shades of Tinted Lip Balm, packaged in a handy hanging toiletry bag.

The Body Wash features a unique formula that delivers a smooth, rich lather with the power of Nanozymes™ that not only clean and moisturize, but also ensure scent elimination. It’s the first step in getting you on your way to a scent free environment.

The Shampoo is a gentle formula that contains specialized hair and scalp cleansing enzymes that terminate and prevent odors from forming. The perfect follow-up is the light, scent free HUNTRESS® Conditioner to keep hair manageable and healthy.

“For those of us with long, thick hair, the combo shampoo/conditioner products just don’t give us the moisture and manageability we need. Finally, there is a separate conditioner that not only provides moisture, but keeps our hair scent free as well,” says Carpenter.

The final step in scent free hair is the Hair Gel. This non-sticky formula allows the female hunter to maintain style, while the Nanozyme™ and Fusion Technology™ combine to make this product truly scent free. By using a combination of these three products you ensure your hair is both manageable and free of any game spooking scent.

Reduce dryness and improve skin resilience and elasticity with HUNTRESS® Tinted Face Moisturizer. The lightweight formula neutralizes the appearance of skin discolorations and minimizes the appearance of fine lines. The subtle tint gives a natural glow for healthy looking skin. Formulated with Nanozyme™ technology, it’s 100% scent free. The Tinted Moisturizer is also non-comedogenic and safe for sensitive skin.

The Lip Balm is available in shades of Indian Summer and Autumn Spice. It is completely scent free and designed to keep your lips protected from dry, cold and windy conditions.

HUNTRESS® development board member Jen Weiss says, "Using the Tinted Moisturizer and Tinted Lip Balm is a great way to stay feminine and still be scent free.”

After polling for product ideas to include in the HUNTRESS® line-up, it became obvious that Body Lotion was a must have. The truly scent free formula is a unique, non-greasy moisturizer that keeps your skin feeling soft and smooth even under the most extreme weather conditions. No more itchy skin while out in the field.

Weiss reiterates what many women have to say, “With all the products it’s hard for me to pick a favorite, but I LOVE the lotion. All the other so called scent free products on the market made my skin and hair feel so dry. The HUNTRESS® Body Lotion really is scent free and keeps my skin hydrated while hunting.”

Executive Director and Founder of WomenHunters.com, Sue Burch, had an influential role in creating the product line. Most of the development board members are also writers and contributors to her website.

“I have been honored and excited working with HUNTRESS®, trying out the new products. Every product they have come out with is a great product. I can't wait to see what they come out with next.”

Eisenmann’s season is proof in the effectiveness of the products.

“It is exciting to be associated with the development of a product line designed specifically for women who hunt. As a traditional bow hunter, getting close to game is not an option. While field-testing the HUNTRESS® line last year, I took five mature whitetails with recurves and longbows, four from the ground, and all at less than 17 yards. These products work!”

At long last, there is a quality line of scent prevention products specially formulated for the female hunter, only from Dead Down Wind®. For more information, or to order online, log on to www.gatherthis.com.
