This feels wrong posting this here, but I could not find a sub to do this in, so feel free to point me in the right direction.

My dad is an Old Spice Guy, I am an Old Spice Guy, but I am done with P&G and what I think is poisonous and wasteful products.

I am looking for recommendations for organic safe healthy body washes, lotions for dry dark skin and deodorants. I’ve not had to look for anything other brands for over 25 years, so this feels overwhelming. I just tried Native, and that won’t work, so, please, any directions to point me to?

Thanks.

    Also, soap and shampoo bars are the way to go instead of liquid versions - less plastic waste.

    If you’re concerned with dry/sensitive skin, try to find ones without SLS (Sodium lauryl sulphate), it’s a foaming agent used in loads of soap products, but it’s actually an irritant.

      SLS is an irritant in that soap is an irritant and SLS is a strong soap. Scrub your hands with almost any soap excessively and see if they get irritated. People use too much gd shampoo

      IIRC some countries allow the low-grade stuff with dioxins (??? I forget) to be used at the manufacturer’s discretion, which really can’t be good

        It is a detergent, but I don’t think that means you can call it a soap. I could be wrong though. The best soap has the glycerin left in, so it’s moisturising your skin even as the detergents are drying it out.
