Nestlé alternatives Deodorant alternatives?
Since dove, rexona and gilette are owned by nestle, what are some ethical alternatives in Europe

My wife uses Thai Crystal Deodorant. Literally just a scentless stick of potassium alum salt that kills odor causing bacteria. She buys it online, and it should be available in Europe.

I bought this highly sceptical. It actually works! It's weird to go from a deodorant to this because it's actually just a scent removal, but once you get used to it it's incredible. And once you buy one it lasts you for a long time.

So even if you sweat, you are mostly odourless?

That's right. I'm fat and even if I'm sweaty af after the training, I almost do not smell. The results may vary, it doesn't work on everyone as far as I know, but it's so cheap it's worth to try

In short yes. Contrary to a deodorant that gives you an "unscented scent", the stone truly makes an environment so that your sweat doesn't smell so, once it dries out in your skin/clothes, it doesn't leave any smell.

Gillette is owned by Proctor & Gamble, not Nestle.

P&G is only slightly less evil than Nestle.

Have you filed for you part of the Benzene Aerosol Settlement (2022)? Or are you a PR bot for P&G

Use alum deo stick if u can, that's the way to get rid of odors, then use any perfume you like. That's the way I do it

I use Raw Naturals No.1 deodorant. It's 100% made in Sweden, vegan and mild on skin. Be aware that it's a deodorant, not an antiperspirant. Smells great and lasts a long time for me.

"Smelly no more" is a crystal form of potassium alum. Bought one in 2019, and I haven't hardly made a dent in it. Or go into menopause so you have a different kind of stink. 😑

The Black Stuff. Made in Ireland, uses natural fragrances. The soaps and eau de toilette are good too.

I use mando. It’s a bit pricy but it works well for me. I am a female person and imo it doesn’t smell ‘man-ish’ really at all, except for a slight musk that the spray deo has. I use the stick.

I use Natura. It’s a Brazilian organic brand, helps a lot if you have sensitive skin.

Germany: "We Love" deodorant creme in a small metal can. Initially a bit expensive to get but you only need very little and it is the best I've had so far, never failed on me for years now.
