Hallelujah, I Found a Natural, Eco-Friendly Deodorant That Works

There's no use beating around the brush, so let's be frank: I'm a sweaty person. It doesn't matter the season or the weather or if I'm awake or sleeping. If it's a day that ends in "y," there's a good chance I will be sweating.

When I started my search for a natural deodorant, I knew I had to be picky. For the sake of others, I didn't want to sacrifice smelling decent, and as an added bonus, I really wanted to find one that didn't come with any plastic packaging. (Slowly but surely, I've been trying to cut down on the amount of plastic I'm buying on a day-to-day basis.)

All of these requirements led me to one brand: Meow Meow Tweet. (I mean, the name alone!) The brand makes small batch vegan, organic skin care products and attempts to use the least amount of plastic packaging possible, checking all of my boxes.

At first, I started off with the tea tree deodorant cream that comes in a recyclable glass jar. I knew from my skin care journey that tea tree oil can be anti-bacterial, so it seemed like a safe, and potentially powerful, place to start. But sadly, this cream, which also includes baking soda, quickly irritated my under arms. and while I used up most of the product, it definitely wasn't my new holy grail.

THEN! I decided to try a different product: Meow Meow Tweet's baking soda free deodorant stick in grapefruit.

$14.00

And this baby works. Here's why I love it:

  • This stick comes in biodegradable paper packaging that gets the job done.
  • It's filled with coconut oil, arrowroot powder, and cocoa seed butter, as well as various essential oils to give it that citrus-y smell.
  • After using it for months, I've yet to have any trouble with irritation.
  • While it's in no way an antiperspirant (meaning it won't help with any dampness), it does keep those not-so-pleasant smells at bay.

Truly, I was so skeptical that this was actually working that I would continuously smell myself throughout the work day—even convincing my friends to get a whiff—just to make sure I wasn't missing something.

At $14 a pop, I admit it's pricy, but compared to other natural deodorants, it seems to fall more in the mid-range of choices. Plus, you'll know your money is going to clean pits and a cleaner planet. Now please excuse me while I go sweat.

Everything You've Ever Wanted to Know About Microneedling

For those looking to improve the look of scars, boost collagen, or encourage hair growth, microneedling can offer a minimally invasive solution. The practice dates back to 1995, but has gained significant traction in recent years thanks to new technology—and YouTube and Instagram, where the mesmerizing (albeit bloody) process stars in tens of thousands of videos. Here, dermatologist Macrene Alexiades , MD, PhD, who has published extensive research on microneedling, along with fellow Yale clinical professor and dermatologist Mona Gohara , MD demystify the multi-purpose treatment. Microneedling creates microscopic punctures in the skin. Simply put, microneedling is the insertion of very fine short needles into the skin for the purposes of rejuvenation, explains Macrene. The most popular (and cost effective) microneedling device, known as a dermaroller , is made up of micro-fine needles that range in diameter from 0.5 and 2.5 millimeters. But, if the prospect of multiple needle wounds s...
