Handmade Soap Company’s innovative eco-friendly deodorant
One of our favorite earthy Irish brands has done it again with another world first ANAM deodorant from The Handmade Soap Company.
Not only does this vegan, all-natural, cruelty-free deodorant smell great with its blend of coriander seed, soothing lavender, eucalyptus, geranium and vetiver, but the container it comes in can be guilt-free tossed in the bin when the supply runs out. You no longer have to worry about what will happen to your plastic roll-on or aerosol spray – just put the finished ANAM deodorant in a food container where it will safely spoil. Smell good, do good. 17.95 euros.

The clinics operate on a GP or self-referral basis and offer detailed allergy screening for all types of problems, from respiratory and dietary concerns to metal allergy testing for those undergoing orthopedic surgery or dental work. Comprehensive tests are carried out, and if necessary, patients leave with a treatment plan or a referral to a consultant. Prices start at €180 for a skin prick test and the staff are great with nervous kids.
