Green Living Guide: Natural Instinct Deodorant

Posted in Eco Friendly, Environmentally Friendly, Health, eco products on June 27th, 2009 by Wayne C – Be the first to comment

Green Living Guide lists consumer products that I believe are environmentally friendly. I have chosen these products based solely on their reputation and credentials.

What the manufacturer, Natural Instinct, says about the product:

Many deodorants are packed with harsh chemicals and ingredients that clog your skin. Natural Instinct Deodorant is made from all natural ingredients that won’t just mask body odour instead it actually kills the bacteria that causes body odour.

Ingredients: Purified Water, and Crystal Mineral Salts.
