How eco-friendly is your natural deodorant?
By Jade Dawes

Here at Salt of the Earth we take our commitment to creating eco-friendly natural deodorants seriously. Let's look at the how and where our products are produced...
As a leading natural deodorant brand we are proud of our eco-friendly credentials so let's dive into the detail and find out how our products are made and what their environmental impact is.
There is no doubt that figuring out whether a deodorant truly is environmentally friendly can be quite tricky. There are no regulations that prohibit brands from making claims and while a brand may state on its packaging that it's a green and clean option, we would always recommend to look a little deeper and ask a few questions, such as the ones we're posing below.
Question 1: Where is the natural deodorant made?
If a product is made on the other side of the world, it will cause some amount of air pollution to get it from the factory into your hands - and armpits! Buying products that are made closer to home will always be a more eco-friendly option.
Most of our deos are made at our factory in Chandlers Ford, Hampshire, which produces all of our products with the exception of the Crystal deodorants, which are made abroad.
Our factory is run on electricity from 100% renewable sources and produces our spray, roll-on, stick & balm deodorants.
Question 2: Are the ingredients harmful to the environment?
You can check the ingredient list of any product on its packaging. This list can be hard to decipher as it can contain a lot of scientific names, but it's worth taking a closer look as brands will have to disclose everything that is present in the formulation of the product. Ingredient lists never lie!
