Sweat sustainably with a natural and refillable deodorant from Proverb Skincare! Today's post checks out this eco and vegan friendly swap and puts the low waste deo to the test...
Proverb Skincare:
Founded by duo Kirstie and Luke Sherriff, Proverb Skincare is a brand that is "built around a morning routine for consistency, marginal gains and a healthy mindset." With a selection of natural skincare and eco friendly staples, and loads of professional expertise to back up their line, this eco-conscious business is out to make some much needed change.
I remember when I heard about the launch of Proverb Skincare - I had tried a few Pinks Boutique organic products by this point, and so I was excited about this new business venture and could not wait to see what was in store.
Well, I was not disappointed that's for sure.
I tried their sanitizer pretty early on, and recently I was offered the chance to test out their natural and refillable deodorant. I was certainly excited, as it had been on my radar for a while! This vegan treatment is free from aluminum, artificial fragrance and colourings, parabens, phalates, PEGS, petroleum based products, and alcohol. It's also thoroughly tested - according to the founders it is rendition number 89! - so you know that your pits are protected.
And after weeks and weeks of my own personal testing, I'm finally ready to share my thoughts...
Natural Deodorant Starter Set:
The Proverb refillable deodorant is available in a Starter Set which includes the case and one natural deodorant stick. You can select from white, yellow, or grey for the container, plus choose your fragrance of choice. There are three available (as well as two active formulas), so you're bound to find one that suits your tastes.
The scents Proverb has created are Wild Mint and Eucalyptus, Coconut and Tonka, and a fragrance free option for an extra gentle touch. There are also Active versions that are specially crafted for those who are heavy sweaters or struggle with more intense body odour (note: these options contain sodium bicarb). Proverb really do cater to all lifestyle needs and skin types, and that's something I have to appreciate.
I was sent a full size of the Sensitive stick and samples of the Coconut & Tonka Active and Wild Mint & Eucalyptus to try out. All three are brilliant, but for me the bicarb free options are ideal as I sometimes develop a bit of sensitivity over time to this natural deodorant staple ingredient. I decided to go with sensitive this time, but I am super tempted by the others as they smell incredible. You can't go wrong with any of these in my opinion.
The Sensitive & Unfragranced deodorant from Proverb is everything I want in a product like this. It's so smooth to apply, creamy and comfortable on the skin, dries down quickly and doesn't leave any gritty texture behind, and it doesn't transfer to clothing. I was also impressed by the strength, as it worked well all day long and I didn't have to worry about reapplying. I was left fresh until the evening, and my underarms were nourished and soothed. It's really a winning formula.
