Freshen up without common chemicals
Posted Monday, May 04, 2009
A lot of NewBeauty staffers are getting back to nature, choosing face and body formulas without preservatives and chemicals that are rumored to be potentially harmful. The latest of this kind of product to catch our collective eye isn't the usual beauty-closet fodder, though.
Eco-conscious company MBeze offers unique underarm solutions without the aluminum, parabens and propylene glycol commonly found in typical deodorants. Their portable sticks, called Deodorettes, rely on beeswax, meadowfoam, grapeseed, and organic sunflower and virgin coconut oils to keep you fresh and your skin nourished.
If you can't bear stepping out of the house without some reassurance that you won't feel wet in a couple hours, that's where MBeze's Dabber Dust comes in. Also aluminum-free, so it won't clog pores, it utilizes a blend of kaolin clay, arrowroot powder, baking soda and zinc oxide to keep your underarms dry.
We love that Deodorettes are available in eight sassy scents, all packaged in playful tubes; so they're not just more cautious than regular deodorant—they're more fun, too!
