![]() Lastly, when you use Native to the top, because the container is tall, you are going to (possibly) need a makeup brush or toothbrush to push it up (we have short fingers that match our short stature).Ĭost: Public Goods wins here. byHumankind didn’t yet give us a chance to fiddle with the refill since it arrived pre-filled. Wild (designed by Morrama) looks cool, but the paper refills need a little finagling. Other: Of the refillable caliber, Myro may have been the easiest to use. Public Goods, Hammond Herbs, and Myro leave no residue. White marks? Wild and byHumankind are awful at this. Hammond Herbs is like Native, with a touch of graininess, and it is growing on us, especially given that it doesn’t leave any residue. Native came in third since it feels like a more lovely, solid cream. Texture: Public Goods and Myro were our favorite given the gel consistency. Public Goods gets pointed deducted for zero effort in reducing plastic - though the plastic is sourced from sugar rather than petroleum. Wild and byHumankind are a close second and third with their paper and 90% reduction in plastic packaging, respectively. Green Factor: Both Native and Hammond Herbs wins here: 100% paper packaging. We almost used byHumankind up in one month! Close behind is Native, which we think will last about 3 months. How Long Do They Last: So far, even though it’s too early to tell, Public Goods is giving everyone the other brands a run for their money: all told, it probably lasted 4 months! byHumankind is a bit lagging. Our favorites are probably Hammond Herbs (Bergamot & Lime), Public Goods (light citrus and spice), Native (we would have picked the citrus/musk one if it was available, but we didn’t mind the coconut vanilla scent), and Myro (again, we didn’t love cucumber scent, but we could tell we’d like the others based on the quality).Īs far as odor, we’ve used them all during workouts and think each of them neutralize the scent fairly well. Scent: None of the deodorant options are particularly strong or chemical smelling, given the natural ingredients. Over the time of our reviews, we have also gotten to know some of the deodorants more intimately. In addition to wanting to be more natural, we saw this as a way to also reduce plastic consumption. Wild’s refills are paper while Myro’s is lightweight plastic (50% reduction) and byHumankind is a blend (90% reduction).Ĭontext: We have been weening ourselves away from potentially toxic chemicals for the last two years. Going the zero waste option of Hammond Herbs removes the full 2 - 12 deodorant sticks from the production/garbage cycle!īetween Myro, Wild, and byHumankind there is range of plastic reduction, depending on the material of the refill components. ![]() When you go natural deodorant, whatever risk exists is greatly reduced plus we think fewer chemicals are probably better for the environment. ![]() Why go Natural and/or Refillable and or Zero-Waste? There have been some linkages of aluminum to medical issues. Most of the options we reviewed are also refillable or zero waste, so not only are the ingredients better for your body, the reduction on the reliance of plastics is progress. Most of the ingredients are natural, and byHumankind’s claim, ‘safe enough to eat.’ ! Some have the ability to absorb a bit of moisture, but you won’t find aluminum here. What’s Your Impact? It depends on which brand you go with, but at the very least, all of the deodorants are just that-deodorants. What are the Brands? We reviewed Myro, Wild, Hammond Herbs, Public Goods, and byHumankind. ![]()
