Your deodorant stick shouldn’t outlive you. But most deodorant sticks will do just that.

 

Only 5% of the plastic produced globally each year gets recycled, with the other 95% ending up in landfills or the ocean. A single plastic deodorant tube could take up to 500 years to decompose and even then, it doesn’t vanish altogether—it turns into microplastics.

 

When it comes to deodorant, there is a better way: Paper deodorant sticks by Meow Meow Tweet. Here are five reasons to love it:

#1. Fully Compostable

Meow Meow Tweet’s plastic-free deodorant is made from biodegradable paper and vegetable inks. When you’ve used all the deodorant, simply toss the empty tube in your compost bin (curbside or backyard), and it will decompose completely within 12 months.

#2: Naturally Effective

Meow Meow Tweet’s deodorant sticks are made from plant butters and oils, essential oils, and baking soda or arrowroot powder. These powerhouse quality ingredients naturally control body odor and work in harmony with body chemistry. They don’t mask odor, they put plant ingredients to work to create an inhospitable environment for the bacteria that causes the odor to begin with.

#3: Handmade

All of Meow Meow Tweet’s products are handmade including their paper deodorant sticks. This handmade process enables Meow Meow Tweet to treat their natural, raw ingredients delicately, so their efficacy is not compromised, while reducing waste in the production process. Each stick is made by a person.

#4: Six Botanical Scents + Sensitive Skin Options

The compostable deodorant sticks come in six botanical scents, all made from plants, with four baking-soda free options designed for sensitive skin:

 

Lavender Bergamot

Eucalyptus Lemon

Rose Geranium Baking Soda Free

Vanilla Bean Baking Soda Free

Grapefruit Baking Soda Free

 

#5: Trusted Ingredients & Certifications

There are no stabilizers or fillers in Meow Meow Tweet’s deodorant—only ethically-sourced, organic, and fair-trade essential oils, plant oils, and butters. They are B-Corp and Leaping Bunny and Plastic Negative certified.
