Best Brands of Natural Grooming Products for Men
Green People offers organic vegan skincare for men, many items are scent-free. Everything is sold in easy-to-recycle sugar-cane packaging.
Avoid shea butter for latex allergies. Wash off natural sun protection before letting pets kiss you (due to zinc oxide).
Read The Labels Carefully
There is a lot of greenwash in the beauty industry, so look beyond buzzwords like ‘eco’ or ‘natural’ or ‘green’ that don’t carry any real meaning. Check for:
- Ingredient lists: Look for plant oils, clays, butters, and natural extracts. Avoid animal by-products such as beeswax, lanolin, and tallow.
- Packaging info: Genuine zero waste products use cardboard, glass, metal, or compostable materials. Skip anything in single-use plastic, shrink wrap, or that can’t be recycled.
- Simple, short ingredient lists: Usually, fewer ingredients means less chance of hidden nasties or synthetic bits.
Build a Zero Waste Grooming Routine
You only need a few items, so make a quick list of what you use daily – a face wash, soap, deodorant, razor and moisturiser, and maybe a hair product or beard balm.
Then find simple vegan zero waste swaps:
- Solid shampoo or soap bar (for hair and body)
- Metal safety razor or electric shaver
- Powder or paste deodorant in a cardboard tube or tin
- Plant-based oil or balm (works as a beard balm, aftershave, or moisturiser)
