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.

Weirdly, I stopped shaving for the last 2 months to see if my beard will finally grow. Its working.

That being said, yeah, Native Deo was ok, but did not last. I am concerned about BO, so yeah, this will take some doing.

Not quite close to a Farmers Market, but I need to actually look through. I did however see bars of soap from Australia in Goodwill, but those seemed sketchy.

    Growing the beard is definitely the easiest option, but then you have to start looking into beard oils to help it stay nice if you grow it long. Keeping it full but not too long is the happy medium that works well.

    That's a tough one though, without a local farmer's market it can be harder. Next best option is find a commercially made soap with the fewest ingredients and use that, it will be an improvement.

    Good luck!

    I like to wear nice perfume so I gravitate towards unscented deodorant and I swear by "Dead Down Wind" they usually make products to mask your scent for hunting, but recently started to make deodorant and it works REALLY well. It survives my long gym sessions, so it holds up. But I also have sensitive skin so I don't use it daily. My go to daily is Brickell's unscented.

    For bodywash I like to use bar soap, Shea Moisture is usually the brand I gravitate to since I can find it in most stores, and I like their lotion as well because it is unscented.

    Full disclosure, I don't have dark skin, but I have tattoos covering most of my skin on my body and haven't noticed any sort of whitecasting when using these products. Well except the deodorant, but I kinda expect that from deodorant that isn't the gel kind.
