I tried natural vegan deodorant for a month - but went straight back to aerosols

I’d love to incorporate more sustainable, plastic-free choices in my everyday life, in a bid to live a more environmentally friendly lifestyle.

Having ditched makeup wipes a long time ago and swapped to reusable removal pads, I’ve been looking at other changes that I can make, too.

One of my vegan friends, who lives very minimalistically, loves natural deodorant, so I decided to ditch the aerosol and trial a cream alternative for a month.

I opted for the Fuss Free Shaving (FFS) original natural deodorant balm, which costs £11, plus £2.20 for delivery. Already it was more than I’d probably spend on deodorant for a whole year, as I tend to just pick up whatever is on offer every month or so.
