When it comes to ecological deodorant I’ve tried them all in countries around the world. The deoderant crystals, roll-ons, and pots of paste you slide onto your pits with your fingers. It’s come to a point where I can’t trust the eco deodorants because they don’t work, and I can’t stand the non-eco solutions because of the fake smells and the obvious health risks.
Ask my friends on a sunny afternoon in the Middle East: don’t hug me. I smell.
Now it hasn’t been put to the true test of weeks or months, but so far so good: It seems that I have found deodorant salvation in a little non-plastic tube made by a company in New Mexico – a 60-person team making products, mainly deodorant under a brand called Humble.
I bought a Humble deodorant at Nature’s Emporium near Toronto. The scent I found – bergamot and ginger is – a pleasure, with bergamot being my favorite go to scent. It’s light and citrusy.
Humble’s simple tube makes it easy to apply a few layers of the creamy but dry when applied.
The fact that Humble works is what works for me. I have read some mixed online reviews about it staining clothing:this might be from the MCT, a coconut derived oil used in the formulation but I haven’t noticed any problems. My wardrobe is pretty basic and since I have a sweat problem I tend to avoid pastel colors and colored silks. I work and live in my clothes and Humble, so far so good.
The main ingredients in Humble are things you can probably cook together on your own from products you buy at a pharmacy: MCT, corn starch, baking soda, and beeswax. And that’s what you will love about this product.
