The zero-waste bathroom: a challenge to be met
How can we replace plastic bottles and industrial products that are often filled with chemicals?
For your skin, as for mine, I want the best: natural, effective products that respect your health and the environment . That's why I've selected solid deodorants from Les Essentiels , a family-run business located in the south of France.
Why choose a solid, natural deodorant?
Conventional deodorants , often formulated with aluminum salts , raise health concerns. These salts block perspiration by clogging pores, disrupting a natural process essential for toxin elimination.
The role of baking soda
Bicarbonate , at the heart of solid natural deodorants, is an effective and healthy alternative.
- It effectively neutralizes bad odors thanks to its antibacterial properties.
- Unlike aluminum salts, it does not prevent natural perspiration but controls its unpleasant impact.
- It is non-irritating (in appropriate quantities) and is even suitable for sensitive skin.
The Essentials: a committed brand
Founded in 2003 by Nancy and Pascal in the Verdon Gorges, Les Essentiels is a family-run, artisanal, and eco-responsible brand. Since 2014, it has been awarded the Slow Cosmetics label and is certified organic by Cosmécert .
Why choose their solid deodorant?
- Natural and organic : Composed of organically sourced, unprocessed ingredients and free of controversial substances.
- Plastic-free packaging : All packaging is recyclable.
- Made in France : Using local raw materials to support short supply chains and limit carbon impact.
- Ethical and sustainable : Each product is designed to reduce waste and simplify your daily routine.
Simple steps for a zero-waste bathroom
Switching to a solid, natural deodorant is a small revolution. In addition to protecting your health, it helps reduce the use of disposable plastic bottles, which are often ubiquitous in our bathrooms.
- No more need for harsh chemicals on your skin.
- An economical product, because it lasts much longer than a classic deodorant.
- An alternative that makes no compromises on effectiveness , even in cases of heavy perspiration.
