I'm sure you've seen the ads on social media for refillable deodorants from Wild and Fussy, but did you know they're not the only planet-friendly deodorant on the market? If you're looking to green your morning routine, plenty of incredible UK brands are cutting down on plastic and harsh chemicals. Here are three fantastic, sustainable alternatives to the mainstream giants.
Kutis Skincare
Kutis deodorant comes in a paper-based tube which is 100% biodegradable. This all-natural deodorant is made in Wales, comes in a variety of gorgeous scents, and all their ingredients are sourced from ethical suppliers. They even have bicarb-free versions for those with sensitive skin. The best thing about this deodorant is how long it lasts - we're talking months instead of weeks! That's a lot of bang for your buck.
EcoVibe
Alternatively, consider using deodorants that come in a jar, like this one from UK brand EcoVibe. A little goes a long way! Simply take a little bit out with your finger (much like you would with a face cream) and smooth it onto your underarms. There's no wastage as it's easy to scrape out all of the deodorant, and the jar can be recycled or reused once empty.
Make Waves
If you prefer to stick to something refillable, Make Waves has an excellent system. The cartridges are made from recycled plastic (and can be recycled once empty), and everything is manufactured here in the UK. They have both deodorant and anti-perspirant options available, and their anti-perspirant is designed to neutralise sweaty odours without relying on the harsh chemicals found in traditional aerosols.
