Refill Deodorant: Fresh (+ Compostable) as a Rose
Deodorant purchased at the refill store
This swap was moderately difficult to make. I often got my favourite deodorant on sale, and I liked the smell/feel/protection it offered. It came in a plastic container though, and so it just doesn’t work with my long-term zero waste goals!
I was nervous that refill deodorant wouldn’t provide enough fresh-ness coverage. I knew I had to give it a try, though. After running out of deodorant one day I tried making it DIY from home. It went okay. I was nervous about the baking soda component, wondering if it would irritate my skin etc., and decided to look into options at the refill store. I found a refill deodorant at Great Lakes Refill that was baking soda free. I purchased a small amount to try it out, and found a perfect little refill jar at the store (shown in the blog photo). I’m on my second refill now!!
How To Refill Deod:
Find small jar to keep the deodorant
Buy refill deodorant
Take small amount on your finger and apply to your underarms using your hands
Enjoy the earthy fresh smell!
