Eco-friendly grooming products for men

Grooming

Time was, you’d daub your armpits with whatever cheap plastic stick you could find, squeeze a foamy goo from an aerosol can on your face, and shave the damn thing with a harsh orange bic which was subsequently thrown into the bin after three months of blunt use.

Here then, are some of the top products currently out there which represent a new environmentally friendly approach…

Sop. Dene Body Wash

A zero waste body wash handmade in Norfolk with organic and vegan ingredients. With a Bergamot and Black Pepper flavour – smell? – it comes in a recyclable aluminium bottle and looks very stylish as well as being uber-environmentally friendly.

Old Spice Clean Water deodorant

Even the big brands are getting in on the eco act, with the reinvented Old Spice having just released this little wonder. The recycled paper packaging is particularly pleasing and inventive here, making it a joy to use along with the satisfaction that it’s aluminium free and no pirates have been harmed in the making of it.
