MYRO vs byHumankind
Top deodorant subscriptions:
The personal care industry generates $500 billion per year globally; they also rely mainly on plastic to house almost every single one of their products. That’s a lot of plastic.
There are a few companies out there trying to activly reduct the amount of waste for every customer. I’ve tried a few low-waste deodorants but for my sweaty self, the DIYs and small batch natural deodorants just don’t do the job for me. But I tried out a few name brands so you don’t have to! Here’s my take.
MYRO
A refillable, lock tight case with refills in fully recyclable plastic. This formula glides on smooth and dries clear.
Pros:
- Widely Available at big box stores like Target and Urban Outfitters.
- Lots of different colors and scents to choose from.
Cons:
- I’ve had the formula leak out on me, on more than one occasion.
Humankind
A refillable, lock tight case with refills in compostable cardboard. A formula that gives me a nostalgic feeling from my tween days of Teen Spirit.
Pros:
- No plastic ‘single-use’ packaging.
- Transparent and natural ingredients.
- Comes with other bathroom items in automatic monthly shipments.
Cons:
- Not widely available – only sold online.
- Selective options for color and scents.
