Saving money and saving the planet go hand in hand with our long-lasting glide-on deodorant. Absolutely no plastic, ever - read our BLOG HERE

We are delighted to launch our new, 60g super-long-lasting glide-on natural deodorants. A natural, value-for-money personal care product without excessive packaging or drama! No expensive refills, just a 100% natural deodorant in recyclable packaging. We don't hide our ingredients - everything is natural and listed below.

Just like our original, extremely popular natural deodorants i aluminium tins, these new, natural deodorants are aluminium, additive, propellant and paraben free and offered in a fully recyclable cardboard tube. All our fragrances are made from natural essential oils, blended from steam distilled fruit, flowers and plants.

Mindful of the impact of climate change on the stability of personal care products, we have tested these products at sustained high temperatures to ensure stability as our summers become warmer. 

Product Description

These fabulous glide-on deodorants are aluminium free, plastic free, paraben free, alcohol free and palm oil free. They're packaged in fully biodegradable cardboard tubes and fragranced with our exclusive custom blends of essential oils, for a naturally fresh experience. The combination of rich shea butter, sweet almond oil and vitamin E protects and nourishes your sensitive underarm skin. In our extensive trials, the effectiveness of these products has been demonstrated for normal activity and also by sports enthusiasts.  

Our glide-on deodorant is available in generous 60g tubes in our two, popular essential oil deodorant blends and is a super long-lasting, value for money product.

To use, simply push up the tube slightly and glide the product thoroughly, covering your underarm. As with all of our products, we refrain from adding any bulking agents or water. This means our natural deodorant is very concentrated and a little goes a long way.

Trustpilot Review - 7 Sept 2022

Deodorant is easy to use and kept me fresh feeling all day. They smell heavenly too. Loving all the products and looking forward to trying others. 

"Still loving the fragrance/scent and can still smell it on me when I get home about 4.30. No horrid sweaty smells for me, even when I’ve been running which is fab! And no skin irritation either."

Saving money and saving the planet go Hand in Hand

Our natural deodorants are aluminium, additive, propellant and paraben free and offered in a recyclable aluminium tin. We compared our 50ml product to a 250ml spray can of deodorant, we used our customers’ feedback, volumes used and price data and we see a saving of over 50% of the daily cost.

The main reasons for the difference?

• Only a tiny bit of natural deodorant is needed to be effective
• Reapplication is required less frequently

Product Description

Our fabulous deodorants are aluminium free, plastic free, paraben free, alcohol free and palm oil free. These natural deodorants are packed in recyclable tins and fragranced with essential oils for a naturally fresh experience. The combination of rich shea butter, sweet almond oil and vitamin E protects and nourishes your sensitive underarm skin. 

We offer an optional wooden spatula with which to apply this product if preferred. Particularly suitable for those with lovely, long fingernails who prefer not to clog them with deodorant :) 

Our Geranium, Lavender and Tea Tree deodorant is available in two sizes, long-lasting 50ml or handy 30ml.

To use, simply scoop a very small amount of the creamy, natural deodorant product from the tin with clean hands or dab the back of the index finger in the balm. Apply onto your underarm skin. See our video on how to use here!

As with all of our products, we refrain from adding excess water. This means our natural deodorant is concentrated and a little goes a long way.

NOTE: Our hand/body creams and natural deodorants are coconut oil based rather than water/synthetic emulsifier based. They can become runny in very hot weather. Please keep them in a cool place, away from direct sunlight and do pop them in the fridge to reset if required. Some customers keep their natural deodorant in the fridge during very warm weather.

Trustpilot reviews 

 

Featured in 2022 

Multi-buy Discounts are available on dropdown menu at checkout 

Good for your hair, good for your pocket and GREAT for the planet, our popular 55g natural shampoo bars are now available in lavender or lemongrass essential oil fragrances in addition to the fragrance free version. 

The 55g shampoo bars are 100% sulphate free, additive free, palm oil free, cruelty free, plastic free, they're suitable for vegans and 100% natural. All our packaging is plastic free; either fully recyclable cardboard or made from plant derived materials. Alternatively you may choose to receive your shampoo bars free from any packaging.

You can read about making the transition to our natural, detergent free shampoo bars here, where you'll find out what to expect when using a natural shampoo bar.

We manufacture our products in small, waste-free batches in the beautiful market town of Malton, Yorkshire in the UK.

These shampoo bars can help to reduce the 36 million plastic bottles used EVERY DAY in the UK because they completely eliminate the need for plastic packaging. Plastic makes up 80% of the waste found on beaches around the world and over 300,000 tonnes of debris that floats in our oceans.

Each shampoo bar lasts longer than your average bottle of shampoo as we do not add water to our products. You will find you need much less than high street detergent-based shampoos; a little goes a very long way.

Our natural shampoo bar now comes in three fragrance options:

- The original fragrance-free formulation is extra gentle for sensitive scalps

- The lemongrass essential oil fragranced variation smells fresh and energizing. Lemongrass essential oil is said to balance excess oil production - we've had some great feedback from our trial bars and you can read it here 

- The lavender essential oil fragranced version smells beautiful, relaxing and calming. Lavender essential oil is said to help with itchy, flaky scalp - we've had some great feedback from our trial bars and you can read it here 

You will find you don't need as much product as liquid, detergent-based  shampoos to clean your hair. Simply lather the solid shampoo bar in your hands and then apply to your hair as you would a liquid shampoo, before rinsing out very thoroughly and repeating.

Shop our individual Conditioner and Ethical Haircare Sets. 

Here's a video on our soap making process.
