PAPR has a great non-plastic deodorant that smells great, is effective, and won't hurt your body or the environment.
One package replaces 1 plastic deodorant
Leaf Shave
2 billion disposable plastic razors are sold in the U.S. each year. Each one of these typically only lasts between 3 and 10 shaves before being discarded. Leaf Shave has engineered a premium razor that contains zero plastic and comes with 50 blade packs that can be changed and safely recycled when done. The up-front investment might feel surprising, but over time the cost per shave evens out (and the benefits to the environment are substantial).
