NALA CARE FREE-FROM DEODORANT
Every element of our deodorant is created with upcycled materials and accepted with curbside recycling.
materials used & how to recycle natural deodorant
the deodorant tube
Nala deodorants are manufactured with 100% PCR (Post-Consumer Recycled) plastic. There is no virgin plastic used in the creation of these products.
When you get to the bottom of your deodorant, read up on tips for using the last bits of your deodorant. To recycle it, pull off the bottom piece, rinse out the tube using gentle soap & water, re-assemble, and add to curbside recycling. To ensure that all elements get recycled properly, it’s best to re-adhere the bottom component and lid before placing it in your curbside recycling bin!
