Deodorants

Plastic free deo from Pure Beginnings ^

by Sharné
written by Sharné

Pure Beginnings just released 2 x NEW stick deodorants and they are in biodegradable packaging!

^ These products were gifted to me. Opinions expressed here are my own.

Pure Beginnings

Pure Beginnings have an amazing range of all natural eco, vegan: baby, kid, and adult skin care products. I love their products, and the company, as their ethics align very much with my own. All except one of their products are vegan, and they are working on making that one vegan. Every products is 100% natural, free from harmful chemicals, Ecocert approved, Vegan and BWC approved.

All the Pure Beginnings products are packaged in plastic, so the fact that they have now created 2 NEW stick deodorants in biodegradable packaging is so exciting! I’m hoping they will continue to develop their biodegradable packaging range and even convert some of their existing products to biodegradable packaging!

My zero waste deodorant journey

In 2018 I started my zero waste journey. Last year I wrote a post about switching back to the Pure Beginning’s Forest Roll On Deodorant that is in plastic packaging, after years of trying out various #zerowaste deodorants.

In the post I listed various things that I look out for when purchasing a deodorant , and that the Pure Beginning’s deodorant ticked almost all my boxes. I can’t help but wonder if that post had anything to do with their new biodegradable packaging. I’d like to think so!

The Ingredients and the Packaging

The Pure Beginnings Bloom & Orchard stick deodorants are packaged in a cardboard tube that can be torn up and added to your compost, as it is 100% biodegradable!

ORCHARD & BLOOM ingredients: Aqua (Water), Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera) Leaf Extract*, Sodium Bicarbonate, Xanthan Gum, Mentha Soicata (Spearmint) Leaf Oil*, Tragacanth Gum, Sodium Hydroxymethylglycinate, Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Oil*, Cananga Odorata (Ylang Ylang) Flower Oil*, Linalool**, Limonene**

*Certified Organic Ingredient.

**Component of Natural Essential Oils under the *Certified Organic Ingredient

Where to buy?

I’m hoping that this deodorant will be stocked by my favourite vegan & zero waste stores. Have a look at the below link to see a list of Pure Beginnings stockists.

Bamboo toothbrush from The Kindbrush

by Sharné
written by Sharné

The bamboo toothbrush is a favourite #zerowasteswop for those wanting to reduce their waste. I’ve been using bamboo toothbrushes for years and recently switched to a Kindbrush. Not only is this bamboo toothbrush super cute, but more importantly it has been designed by a registered oral hygienist and has a small head so it can reach the areas in your mouth other toothbrushes can’t. It stands up right, comes in 5 different colours and it is available in adult and kids sizes.

KindBrush

Nature Lover Chrismarié Barnardt is a registered dental hygienist & The Kindbrush founder. Chrismarié’s concern about the impact of traditional oral care products on the global, growing plastic pollution crisis inspired her to create The Kindbrush. Their mission is: Healthy teeth. Happy planet. The Kindbrush range includes a bamboo toothbrush, biodegradable refillable floss in a glass jar as well as a 100% natural lip balm.

For every online order, The Kindbrush donate R5 to Develop Dental, a registered NGO working to increase access to quality dental care and oral hygiene education among children in under-resourced communities in and around Cape Town, South Africa.

The product & the packaging

I use my Kindbrush toothbrush together with earthly toothpaste bits.

The Kindbrush toothbrush is packaged in a cardboard box and the toothbrush itself is made from bamboo and fine, charcoal-infused nylon bristles. Bamboo is biodegradable, water-resistant, antibacterial and antifungal. The flat bottom helps to keep it dry and hygienic. When you replace your toothbrush I recommend you reuse it in other ways before removing the bristles, which can be eco-bricked and compost the handle. I add mine to my cleaning kit and use it to clean in grout lines and other hard to reach spots around the house.

Where to buy?

You can buy a Kindbrush bamboo toothbrush online on The Kindbrush online shop.

Deodorants

Forest Roll On Deodorant from Pure Beginnings

by Sharné
written by Sharné

After years of trying out various #zerowaste deodorants I’ve switched back to Pure Beginning’s Forest Roll On Deodorant.

Why I’ve switched back

I used this Pure Beginnings deodorant for years and when I went #zerowaste in 2018 I started trying out various versions of vegan, all natural, aluminium-free, plastic-free deodorants.

When investing in a product, and supporting a brand, there are many factors to consider, not just the packaging. After years of looking I could not find one that ticked all my boxes (see below), Pure Beginnings was by far the best, ticking all my boxes except one (plastic-packaging).

UPDATE: I recently found out that Pure Beginning’s is not 100% vegan as I had believed they are because of the over 50+ vegan products that they make, they do have a single product which is not vegan (contains beeswax). They are working on changing the ingredients so it is vegan, which will make them 100% vegan!

1. Locally made

2. Vegan Product made by a Vegan Company

3. 100% vegan stockist available

4. Product is Certified Cruelty Free (Beauty Without Cruelty accredited)

5. Made with Natural Ingredients

6. Free from aluminium chlorohydrate

7. Free from parabens and synthetic chemicals.

8. Will not pollute waterways when rinsed down the drain.

9. Contains Certified Organic Ingredients

10. Smells good

11. Works well

12. Does not stain clothes

13. Plastic-Free Packaging

Pure Beginnings

Pure Beginnings have an amazing range of all natural eco, vegan: baby, kid, and adult skin care products. I love their products, and the company, as their ethics align very much with my own.

Since going #zerowaste I have been very aware of the packaging a product comes in and I have been trying to reduce the waste I am responsible for. If I can find an alternative in reusables or no packaging that ticks all my boxes then I make the switch. It’s not always possible though.

The ingredients and the packaging

All Pure Beginnings products are packaged in plastic and I am hoping that they will start offering either refillable, packaging-free or reusable packaging in future.

The Pure Beginnings Forest Roll On is packaged in a type 2 plastic bottle plastic, which is recyclable.

99% of the total ingredients of the Roll on is from Natural Origin. This forest roll on has a fresh mint scent, which I love.

The roll on is made with Aqua (Water), Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera) Leaf Extract*, Sodium Bicarbonate, Xanthan Gum, Mentha Soicata (Spearmint) Leaf Oil*, Tragacanth Gum, Sodium Hydroxymethylglycinate, Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Oil*, Cananga Odorata (Ylang Ylang) Flower Oil*, Linalool**, Limonene**

*Certified Organic Ingredient.

**Component of Natural Essential Oils under the *Certified Organic Ingredient

Why it’s important to buy natural

Did you know that 60% of the everyday beauty and personal care products that we use, is absorbed by our bodies? They contain harmful synthetic chemical ingredients, like parabens, aluminium, and synthetic fragrances, to name a few. To most, they might just be technical words written on the label of the product, but it is really important to know what they are, and how they negatively affect your body and the environment. Aluminium, for example, is a common ingredient in most brands of roll on and deodorants, and is used to block the pores that produce perspiration.

According to my research, aluminium is really bad for you. It is a neurotoxin, which is actually poisonous and destructive to nerve tissue. Aluminium is also estrogenic, which means it can promote the growth of both cancer and non-cancer breast cells. Some scientists have suggested that using aluminium-based antiperspirants may be a risk factor for the development of breast cancer.

High levels of aluminium have been found in the breast tissue of cancer patients that have undergone mastectomies. How this is even allowed? I have read that companies are permitted to use small doses of harmful chemicals in products we use every day. The problem is that we use many different products, each containing harmful chemicals, all of which are absorbed by our bodies. If you want to learn more about why these chemicals are allowed to be used in beauty and personal care products, watch the story of cosmetics.

By using natural personal care products we can help decrease the toxic load on our bodies & the environment.

Where to buy?

I bought this Roll On from The Organic Vegan’s online shop.

Earth mask from Back 2 Nature ^

by Sharné
written by Sharné

If you are looking for a vegan face mask that is certified cruelty free (BWC accredited) and made using natural ingredients then this one is a must try!

^ This product was gifted to me. Opinions expressed here are my own.

I’ll be honest and say that I’d never even tried a face mask before Back 2 Nature gifted me this one. I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to use, and how good my skin felt afterwards. I’ve been struggling with acne for the first time in my life, since going off the pill a few months ago, and I think this earth mask has helped my skin.

Back 2 Nature

It is not every day that I find a green vegan brand that so perfectly aligns with my green vegan beliefs! Back 2 Nature is everything I could hope for a green vegan brand and more! They are a conscious business that is aware of the impact of their actions. They do everything they can to not cause harm to animals, and the environment. 

Back 2 Nature products are made using, sustainable and natural ingredients. Their ingredients are not from animal sources, and they are not tested on animals. They source locally as far as possible and only sell their products to the local market. B2N remains 100% local, so there is no additional carbon footprint attached to their products!

Their products don’t contain harmful chemicals, parabens, or preservatives and are 100% biodegradable, and won’t pollute our waterways. Back 2 Nature avoid plastic whenever possible, so they package their products in either glass or aluminium.

If you still don’t have enough reasons to love this vegan brand as much as I do, you should also know that all Back 2 Nature products are approved by Beauty Without Cruelty & endorsed by The South African Vegan Society.

The ingredients and the packaging

The earth mask is packaged in a reusable glass container and is made with Aqua, kaolin clay, *cocos nucifera (coconut) oil, **glyceryl stearate, **cetearyl alcohol, **polyglyceryl-6 palmitate, *silt, prunus armeniaca (apricot kernel) oil, **shea butter ethyl ester, **glycerin, *carbon (activate charcoal), *malachite crystal extract, **potassium sorbate, **sodium levulinate, vaccinium myrtillus fruit (blueberry) extract, saccharum officinarum (sugar cane) extract, rose geranium, acer saccharum (sugar maple) extract, citrus aurantium dulcis (orange) extract, citrus limon (lemon) extract.

*organic | **Plant derived

How to use:

Rinse & dry skin. Apply generously. Rinse off after 10min. ( No longer ) NB: The ‘silt’ in the Earth Mask encourages blood circulation which may cause the skin to appear red for +-30 after use. Therefore better to use at night. Apply a Face Food, Night Cream after use.

Where to buy?

You can buy this earth mask directly from the Back 2 Nature online shop, or from Shop Zero(online zero waste vegan store – physical store opening soon)

Lemon & Lime CBD drops from Oil Science

by Sharné
written by Sharné

I’ve been using the Oil Science Lemon & Line CBD drops for a few months now, to help with my migraines.

Compensation for this blog post was provided by Oil Science and a sample product was gifted to me. The opinions expressed here are my own, and not indicative of the opinions or positions of Oil Science.

oilscience

Since taking the drops I have had less migraines. As mentioned on Instagram, I can’t say with a 100% conviction that the CBD oil prevented me from having migraines, but I can say it’s the only thing that I’ve done differently lately.

My migraines

I have joint and muscle pain every day, which often leads to severe migraines. As a kid I did all sorts of sports, and for about 5 years I did kickboxing and I think that’s where it all started.

I’ve realised that contact sports can do serious damage to the body, that you have to live with for the rest of your life. There is no way to make the damage that was done go away, believe me I have tried, but I’m interested in using natural medicines to manage it.

The ingredients and the packaging

Oil Science’s CBD Oil is all natural and organic, plant-based and vegan. It is additive and preservative free, and made with a 100mg pure broad spectrum CBD extract, hemp seed carrier oil and Lemon and Lime extract which is all ethically sourced.

The CBD drops is packaged in a glass bottle with a medical dropper made from rubber, plastic and glass. The bottle is packaged in a cardboard box.

oilscience

How to use CBD drops

I’ve been wondering about how CBD products are best used and why? I’ve discovered that there are 3 very effective ways to take CBD: sublingual, oral and topical.

The cbd oil is best used sublingually, which means placing a few drops every day under my tongue, and waiting almost a minute before swallowing. This method results in a bioavailability of around 40–50% (how much is absorbed) because it enters my bloodstream from under my tongue.

I can take the cbd oil orally but it only has about 20% absorption, because it gets partially broken down by my liver. I’ve discovered you should not add CBD oil to baking or cooking as the heat will make the oil less effective, so what’s the point of even using it then. Instead the cbd oil can be the finishing touch of a meal.

When I add the drops under my tongue and swallow after about a minute, I’ve taken it sublingually and orally, which I reckon is a pretty good combo.

The oil science lip balm falls under the topical category. When used on my lips, the balm is absorbed by the epidermis (top layer of my skin) but will not enter my bloodstream. CBD creams and balms are created to be absorbed quickly on targeted areas of the body.

Isn’t the human body fascinating?

oilscience

Where to buy?

You can buy the CBD drops directly from the Oil Science website. Oil Science have a option on their online shop, where instead of buying a CBD product once off every month, you can buy a subscription which is cheaper.

shampoo and conditioner bars from be.bare ^

by Sharné
written by Sharné

If you are looking to #ditchthebottle and make your haircare routine more sustainable then these vegan be.bare shampoo and conditioner bars are a must have #zerowasteswop. I’ve been using these bars for a while now and highly recommend them!

^ These products were gifted to me. Opinions expressed here are my own.

be.bare

be.bare

Be.bare is a South African based small business with a big heart! 💚 They believe in being held accountable for the environmental and ethical impact of their products, which includes the ingredients as well as the packaging.

They have created a range of shampoo and conditioner bars that are natural, vegan, cruelty free, plastic free, and made without water. They also sell locally made bamboo soap dishes to be used with their bars, to extend their lifespan.

BWC approved

Be. Bare bars are BWC approved, which means that they have been audited by BWC and have proven they do not test their products on animals by passing the BWC criteria.

Why go bare?

Be. Bare’s bars do not contain any water as an ingredient, whereas plastic shampoo and conditioners contain up to 90% water. The idea behind a bar is that you will use it in the shower with water so there is no need to add water, which is a precious resource we must not waste. Without added water a product can be solid, smaller and plastic-free.

Every day approximately 8 million pieces of plastic pollution find their way into our oceans. 12 million tonnes of plastic are poured into the ocean every year. … 100,000 marine mammals and turtles and 1 million sea birds are killed by marine plastic pollution annually.

Surfers against sewage

Be.bare solid bars are packaged in FSC certified paper that is printed with veggie-based inks. The small paper box is the exact size to fit a bar, so there is no unnecessary packaging used. After use the biodegradable box can be composted or recycled.

be.bare

the ingredients

Be.bare bars are made with naturally derived & sustainably sourced ingredients. The crowd pleaser is a grapefruit and rose geranium shampoo bar for all hair types that cleanses, hydrates and moisturizes. The smooth operator is a unscented conditioner for all skin types, that hydrates and untangles.

The crowd-pleaser shampoo bar ingredients: Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Sodium Coco-Sulfate, Stearic Acid, Stearyl Alcohol, Cetyl Alcohol, Behentrimonium Methosulphate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Coco-Caprylate, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Theobroma Cacao Seed Butter, Decyl Glucoside, Citrus Paradisi Oil, Pelargonium Graveolens Oil, Cedrus Atlantica Oil, Citrus Aurantifolia Oil, Lactic Acid, Citral*, Limonene*, Linalool*, Mica, CI 77891, CI 77491, Silica. *Occurs naturally in essentials oils

The smooth operator conditioner bar ingredients: Cetyl Alcohol, Stearyl Alcohol, Behentrimonium Methosulphate, Theobroma Cacao Seed Butter, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Glycerin, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Panthenol, Benzyl Alcohol, Benzoic Acid, Dehydroacetic Acid, Tocopherol, Mica, CI 77891, CI 77861, CI 77742.

how to use & how to store?

After you have wet your hair, wet the bar. Then rub the bar over your hair under running water. Then lather into hair, and rinse out when done.

Be.Bare recommend that their bars are allowed to dry on a soap dish with drainage between use. They recommend the bars are kept away from spraying water while not in use and suggest to keep the bars separate to prevent them from sticking together.

be.bare

Where to buy?

You can buy be.bare products on their online shop as well as on the vegan street online shop. Have a look at the be.bare stockist page for more stockists.
