I editorialized the article title, and I realize the article is a year old. But I only just found out about this buy out yesterday.

I have been using Wild's refillable deodorant for over 2 years. It has been great not throwing away a huge chunk of plastic, and instead tossing a small bit of cardboard into the compost. But now they are part of a mega corp.

I got my wife and daughter switched over recently, and my wife has been using their chapstick too.

My daughter found Fussy as an alternative. I saw a video showing that Fussy's refills fit into Wild's cases.

I will be making the switch as soon as I run out of my current stock of Wild refills.

Wild, An Almost Zero Waste Toiletries Company Sells Out To Unilever

At first I thought the first word was sarcasm and didn't realize the company was called "Wild"

    Not in English. Not with that punctuation. You missing a tree? :-p

    To be fair, the delimiting was lame, too, as it was missing the trailing delimiter; but in an objective guess where there was no (semi-)colon and the American Ghost Comma exists, that Ghost Comma is the likely case.
