Basics

This page aims to list various Sustainable Toiletries
For both personal use, but also for use in a FeF General Store / “In case you forgot to pack”-Hotel Minimart type thing
Also for inspiration for later OSE Adaptation/Development

List

Dove does make a refillable dispenser + concentrate based system
- Sadly it is a bit different than the “normal” product, either due to varying mineral content in Tap Water or for being optimized for “canceling out” some aspects of Tap Water rather than be diluted with DI Water at/near the final destination of the product

Most are still Plastic Bottle Based
Main thing is refill dispenser bottles if possible (Mixed Metal Spring+Plastic Bottle waste is hard to recycle/sort+ has more Embodied Energy )

Also includes Anti-Perspirant, but not necessarily (A distinction which CAN MATTER lol)
”Wild” Refillable Deodorant had a neat dispenser with Cardboard packaged refills system
The comsumable part’s only waste is a Molded Pulp “pusher” base
User: Eric here though…sadly it is a bit more “goey” (Probably due to using Coconut Oil / Palm Oil instead of Soy Wax or Paraffin Wax
- THUS it would fair EVEN WORSE in the “Hot Car Storage” test
- Also worse if any anti-perspirant performance (at least to Dove whatever Solid)
- Also leaves marks on Clothing. Granted all do (to some extent), but minimal Opacifier content Paraffin Wax based ones leave minimal visible staining etc
- All in all GREAT concept, but need less “crunchy” actual deodorant

Toothpaste Tablet work quite well
If a paste is still desired, finding something in a Bottle or Dispensing Syringe would be ideal over a multilayer film sachet

Using a Safety Razor such as Henson Shaving ‘s Design (or for low cost, a FDM 3D Printed Clone, semi-disposable if PLA or BHA is used)
Also putting spent blades in a Blade Bank made of the same metal, then securing the blade bank for disposal makes sorting easier, and removes any Sharps/Biohazard Risk
