Personal care

The deodorant crystal our customers are raving about!

The alum stone is a simple and effective natural deodorant that can also be used as an aftershave. It's a mineral salt, so it stops odor producing bacteria from forming, making it a safe and effective natural deodorant. We also can't believe how long it lasts - it can last for several years!

Each alum stone is a unique mineral crystal with slight variations in shape and appearance. They are natural, hypoallergenic, cruelty-free and vegan.

When used as an aftershave, it soothes nicks and cuts, and helps to prevent razor burn or skin irritation from shaving. 

Alum stones will help you sweat less, but they aren't an antiperspirant meaning they don't block your body from releasing toxins or cooling down. They are a nontoxic, beautiful and package free alternative to deodorant.

Use and care

Gently wet the surface and apply as you would deodorant.

The alum stone works best when your pores are clean and open, such as after a shower. You can also use a warm or soapy washcloth to cleanse your underarm, and then apply the stone. Either works just fine! Cleansing your underarm first is the trick to what makes this so effective.

It can have a bit of an adjustment period like any natural deodorant. We suggest giving the detox phase a few weeks for it to work its best.

Please note: It is a salt crystal that dissolves with moisture, so pat to dry if needed and store somewhere dry. 

It does not expire, nor is it temperature sensitive. With daily use, this stone should last over a year.

Types

Classic - Each alum stone is a unique mineral crystal with slight variations in shape and appearance. 

Imperfect - We inspect each stone from our manufacturer and have discounted some due to more noticeable imperfections. "Imperfect" alum stones are not broken, they are typically just slightly chipped around the edges, but work just as well! 

Travel/sample size - This is a perfect way to sample an alum stone if you're unsure, or just want a smaller piece for travel. These are pieces of stones that were broken during shipment, so putting these to use is truly zero waste! Each has a smooth outer side that can glide against your skin.

Size

This stone weighs 5.3 oz.

Ingredients

Potassium Alum (Mineral Salts).

Alum stones contain a naturally occurring form of aluminum (Potassium Alum) that does not possess the same health risks as the aluminums in many antiperspirant deodorants (Aluminum Chloride/Chlorohydrate/Zirconium), which block sweat ducts and glands. Potassium Alum is a different chemical compound and stays on the surface of your skin, making alum stones safe to use.

Does not contain Parabens.

Packaging

None.

Origin

Made in France.

End of life

Use until it’s too small to hold. It can last about 5 years, depending on how often you use it. You’ll end up with a small piece that's basically a rock, so you won’t want to put it in a compost bin but what you can do is sand it into a powder (it’s a very soft crystal), add water and put it in a spray bottle to keep using as deodorant! Zero waste!

Have you been searching high and low for a natural deodorant that lasts longer than your bike commute? A natural, lovely scent you don't have to reapply by the time lunch comes around? Well it's finally here. This truly natural formula contains no harsh chemicals and leaves your skin feeling clean and fresh. The light aroma effectively neutralizes odor and is safe for all skin types.

We have our deodorant custom made by a local soap maker, the Bubblery, and packaged in earth-friendly kraft paper tubes - that's right, this deodorant is fully biodegradable! [Insert happy dance here]

We'd describe Rosemary mint as an herbal peppermint and Lavender grapefruit as fruity and fresh! It's lovely and it's unisex. 

Use and care

Gently push the base of the tube to dispense the deodorant, and sweep two to three strokes over each underarm.

Over 2 billion disposable plastic razors are thrown out each year in the U.S. alone.  A safety razor is a fantastic alternative to disposable razors, and this one can last you a lifetime.  This attractive stainless steel razor is appropriate for all your shaving needs, regardless of your gender.

As women, we got sick of paying more for our razors just because they’re pink and come with fancy features (that we were never quite convinced were necessary). We bring you this sleek alternative. It’s unisex, easy to travel with, and reusable for a lifetime. Blades are just $2.25 for a set of 10!

Shave soap

Soap tin

Use and care

Allow the weight of the razor to guide you; never press down with the razor head or drag it across your skin like you might with a disposable razor. Use a shaving soap for best results.  When you follow these tips, you'll have a cleaner, safer shave. To travel, simply remove the blade. Dry off the razor after each use and replace the blade when it becomes dull; Bea Johnson says her sons take the razor head apart to let the blade dry after every shave, and the blades last them for an impressive 6 months!

Materials

Stainless steel.

Packaging

None. Blades come wrapped in paper.

Origin

Manufactured in China through an environmentally conscious factory.

End of life

The safety razor should last a lifetime if you take care of it properly.

Replacement blades can be sharpened with denim and eventually recycled.

We recommend collecting used blades in a closed metal container for safety since they are sharp and could be hazardous to you or anyone else handling them on their way to be recycled. Blades fit well in our 2 oz screw top tin, or you can use something you have at home.

To recycle the blades, we have a few suggestions...

1. An easy catch-all option is to ship them to Albatross Designs (PO Box 2254 Berkeley, CA 94702), a company that recycles used razor blades - just be sure to double-envelope them or ship the closed tin of blades so they don't cut through the envelope.
2. You can also check with your local recycling collection service to ask if it's alright to put the closed container of blades directly in the recycling bin. Some are okay with it, and others aren't!
3. Another option is to take your tin of blades directly to a nearby scrap metal recycler.

Our replacement blades fit perfectly with our safety razor and are just a few cents per blade! The dual blade allows you to use both sides of the same blade, lasting at least twice as long as a disposable razor.

Use and care

Use with our stainless steel safety razor. To insert a new blade, untwist the top of the razor head, gripping the sides to avoid touching the sharp part fo the blade. Separate the pieces, and place the new blade between the two pieces of the razor head, allowing the metal posts to keep it in place.

More than 12 billion pads and tampons are thrown out every year, and the average person with a period uses 11,000 pads, tampons, and panty liners in their lifetime - that's a lot of landfill waste, money, and trips to the drugstore!

Now when you get your period, you can opt out of wasteful and expensive disposables, and just wear underwear like any other day. These period underwear are made with organic cotton and THINX signature tech that absorbs your flow, controls odor, helps prevents leaks, and keeps you fresh ‘n’ dry — all without feeling bulky or wet.

The brief style is perfect for heavy days - it holds up to 2 regular tampons' worth. It can be used alone, or as a backup for a menstrual cup. We also carry a thong version for light days, and a bikini version for medium days.

Use and care

Wear instead of a pad or pantyliner during your period.

Between uses, rinse, throw in the washing machine (cold or warm water), and hang dry. No bleach, fabric softener, or irons.

Sizes

Fits true to size. Because THINX uses special technology to keep you leak free, the sizes fit a bit more snug than your average run-of-the-mill undies.

Your hip measurement is the most important size to consider when trying to find the perfect fit.

Lunette Period Cups are a wonderful zero waste alternative to tampons or pads for any one who menstruates. The cups dramatically reduce your risk for TSS and your environmental footprint. Plus, the average menstruator spends $120 on tampons and pads every year. Pick up one of these for $40 and it'll last you for years. The best part? You can leave it in for 12 hours at a time. You shouldn't have to interrupt your work day to change a tampon or spend time worrying about your period. Let's level the playing field. What will you do with your 12 hours?

Use and care

Rinse and wash with a gentle soap after each emptying; store in pouch. Boil between periods to sanitize.

Materials

A 100% zero waste product. The cups (clear and colored versions) are manufactured from the highest quality medical grade silicone (FDA Approved) and they do not contain any phthalates, bisphenol A, or heavy metals.

End of life

While a menstrual cup can last a woman several years, many women like to purchase a new menstrual cup every 1-3 years. Rather than throwing the retired menstrual cup in the trash, the Lunette can be safely burned and it will simply turn to ash.
