This Stylish, Sustainable, Reusable Roll-on Deodorant is Challenging the $202 Billion Dollar Men’s Grooming Industry

With its reusable, stylish metal body that doesn’t use even an ounce of plastic, the Lifelong Deodorant is openly defying a $202.8 billion dollar men’s personal care industry that generates tonnes of plastic waste each day.

A gentleman always chooses a luxury metal shaving razor over the generic plastic disposable razor… so why not do the same for deodorants? Most deodorants come within a roll-on bottle made entirely from plastic and glass, designed to be thrown away after it’s done… but the Lifelong Deodorant challenges that notion with a bottle that’s designed to look premium and last a lifetime. Made from anodized aluminum, the Lifelong Deo’s bottle comes CNC machined to perfection, with a bead-blasted finish that’s reminiscent of an Apple product. A knurled texture around the grip of the roller gives it that extra tactile finish and rugged manly appeal, and a crystal ball on the top rotates to evenly distribute liquid deodorant on you, while being durable and hypo-allergenic. The entire bottle comes with a design that can be opened out, cleaned, and refilled with deodorant powder and some added water. This keeps you fresh for years to come, and also enables you to ditch the plastic roll-on bottle, so the planet feels fresh too!

The Lifelong Deodorant’s makers claim that roughly 13 billion plastic deodorant bottles end up in landfills each year… weighing as much as 2,900 Statues of Liberty. That’s undeniably a lot of plastic waste each year – a fact that prompted Adam Webb and Fernando Molin to work on a much more sustainable alternative. The Lifelong Deodorant was born with one singular promise – to reduce as much waste as possible. As a result, the entire deodorant bottle is made from reusable materials, with 0% plastic.

The bottles also come with sachets of natural powdered deodorant, eliminating the need to ship liquid deodorant which weighs significantly more, but just uses regular water that you can grab from a faucet in your house.

Unscrew the cap and add the powdered deodorant. Add 50 ml of water. Close the cap and shake for twenty seconds.

The sustainable deodorant bottle comes in a variety of colors, with black, rose-gold, and silver anodized finishes, and up to 6 different-colored crystal roller balls that you can choose from. The makers also offer three distinct unisex deodorant options – zero-scent, citrus tonic, and woodland air. All the scents are crafted along with one of Europe’s leading, sustainable, certified manufacturers that specializes in powdered personal care products. The deodorants are all-natural, long-lasting, easy on the skin, non-fabric-staining, and don’t contain aluminum or parabens. Moreover, they come in powder sachets, that only weigh 6g meaning Lifelong can ship you a year’s supply of deodorant for the cost of one postage stamp, anywhere in the world. By omitting the water and plastic packaging Lifelong lowers transport emissions by 94%.All you really need to do is add 50ml of water to the powder deodorant and give it a good mix and your liquid deodorant is ready to go!

The makers at Lifelong are committed to ensuring that their deodorant is nothing like the competition. Aside from using zero plastic and being almost infinitely reusable, Lifelong’s deodorants are 100% free from any animal testing. Additionally, Lifelong is partnering with Seven Clean Seas to remove 1kg of ocean plastic for every Lifelong Deodorant sold, and 1 additional kg for every refill sachet you buy after the crowdfunding campaign ends. SO far they have removed more than 4000 kg’s of plastic. Moreover, each purchase of a Lifelong Deodorant comes with a free luxury travel bag, just for YD readers! Let’s see Old Spice or Axe match those odds…

A full shower experience with customizable micro filters, the Lab224 shower head is changing how humans shower

Imagine if Bath and Body Works merged with your bathroom accessories – that instead of cluttering up your shelves with a gazillion bottles, your showerhead holds a complete spa experience. That is the promise hs² studio’s Lab224 Watercare Showerhead brings to your bathroom.

The bathroom can be a space of zen, the one part of your home that is a sanctuary where you cut off from screens and just be. The showerhead’s aurora-colored aesthetics showcases the filter of choice. You can choose from anything between creating a sensuous spa experience to using a microfilter to ensure you only get the purest water contacting your skin. Whatever your skin’s problem/concerns, you can have your favorite add ons – aloe vera, tea tree oil, vitamin supplements – it’s a DIY care package in a tiny handle-sized package. The sprinkler plate had microholes that give you a gentle yet powerful stream of bath, adding to the overall luxury of your bath experience.

Sleek, minimal, with aesthetic highlights just enough to accentuate your bathroom, the Lab 224 showerhead is a next-generation solution to bathroom of all sizes. Given the number of ideas we get in the shower, I genuinely believe we must amplify our bathroom experience to help our brain destress and let the creative juices flow.

Innovative Product Designs to kickstart your morning with a flawlessly clean bathroom experience!

We may not pay attention to our bathrooms very often, but the truth is they’re the little alcoves we spend a substantial amount of our time in, carrying out our personal activities. It’s probably the only time we’re ever truly alone, and bathrooms are like our own personal zones. Hence amping up our bathroom with essential accessories and handy product designs is quite important. These little products can make a huge difference in our everyday bathroom experience. They not only help us carry out our personal and grooming activities even more easily, but they also help us take care of ourselves a little better! From an electric flosser that flawlessly cleans your teeth in 30 seconds to a mold-proof and water-tight rolling shower screen – we’ve curated a whole collection of innovative and functional bathroom accessories for you!

The Everloop Toothbrush from NOS uses a recycled plastic handle and disposable bamboo bristles. Taking on a unique cradle-to-cradle approach, the brush comes with a plastic handle that is, in fact, made from recycled toothbrushes. At the very end is a clamping mechanism that allows you to attach 100% natural bamboo bristles to the toothbrush’s head. The idea is to retain the plastic handle and periodically replace the bamboo bristles every few months. The bamboo bristles have absolutely no plastic in them, allowing them to easily be disposed of, or composted in a way that doesn’t harm the environment.

JoyFous takes the existing shower curtain and gives it a much-needed design upgrade. Made for 3-walled bathtubs (where the 4th wall is usually occupied by a curtain), JoyFous is a nifty, slim, retractable screen that’s easy to pull out and retract before and after your bath. It’s a much more convenient alternative to the shower curtain that’s clumsy and doesn’t stop water from leaking out onto the bathroom floor… and it’s a whole lot cheaper than those frosted glass partitions, and it isn’t breakable or fragile too! Working much like retractable blinds that you pull downward, JoyFous operates sideways, creating a neat privacy-partition while you bathe or just laze in your bath-salts solution with some candles and bubbly… and its unique water-dam feature keeps the water inside your bathtub, so you don’t step out onto a soaking wet and slippery bathroom floor.

Designed to be the world’s first eco-friendly electric flosser, Flaüs is a hand-held toothbrush-shaped device with a replaceable flossing head. When powered on, Flaüs gently vibrates at 12,000 sonic vibrations per minute – it’s enough to safely remove all the food and plaque stuck between your teeth without hurting the most sensitive gums. Given that it’s about as easy to use as an electric toothbrush, Flaüs makes flossing your teeth quick, easy, and effective. Moreover, each replaceable floss-head is designed out of biodegradable materials and can even be composted after use… leaving your teeth and the planet as clean as they can be!

Kohler seems to have taken a massive liking to bathroom singers with its new showerhead. With a halo-shaped design, the Kohler Moxie Showerhead allows you to fit a wireless speaker into its negative cavity, giving you a luxurious Kohler-worthy shower with handpicked (or rather voice-picked) tunes to accompany you as you bathe. Now the Moxie isn’t a new product. Kohler released the quirky showerhead+speaker combination in as early as 2012, but the new update (to be showcased at CES2020 next week) allows Moxie to communicate with Amazon’s Alexa voice AI, allowing you to ask it to play songs (or karaokes), brief you on the news, or order you some more shampoo. The Moxie speaker is detachable and docks right into the torus-shaped showerhead using magnetic action.

Lucere mimics that perfect vanity-lighting experience without racking up an electricity bill. It features a pair of portable lights that attach directly to your bathroom mirror to give you bright, bi-directional light without casting sharp shadows. The Lucere comes with a mount that adheres to your mirror, allowing you to magnetically snap the lights on or off whenever you need them. Both the lights come with touch-sensitive on-off switches and the ability to set them at your desired brightness using simple +/- controls. The lights charge via a standard MicroUSB cable and last for 3 hours on medium brightness.

BASE is a conceptual sterilizer that is aimed at providing the maximum level of oral hygiene and safety to you. Toothbrushes hold more than 10 million bacteria which is more than a toilet seat so it needs more than a plastic cap to stay clean and protected. UV rays at 253.7 nm wavelength are used as a bactericidal and within 5 seconds BASE kills 100% of the commonly found germs. In a complete 40 second cycle, it also kills 90% of spore-forming bacteria and it is recommended to sterilize the toothbrush for a full 2 minutes for the highest level of hygiene. The device encloses the toothbrush just enough to contain the UVC radiation to the area required (bristles, head, and neck of the toothbrush) while also allowing the right amount of convective airflow to help dry the toothbrush.

Designer Geraldine Tong wanted to change our perception of toilet cleaning tools while also solving related issues like its environmental impact and the clutter it creates in our bathrooms. Her goal was to create a brush that didn’t cause more landfill waste, took minimal space, reached the narrow areas, and of course, look visually appealing – so she designed BrushPro in collaboration with Lam Soon Singapore, and the mission was accomplished. This redesigned toilet brush lets you switch out brushes while reusing the main body which reduces a lot of toxic waste. BrushPro is extremely convenient to use compared to its forerunners. The extendable handle allows you to reach narrow spaces without having to perform advanced yoga poses on the floor and minimizes your direct contact with the dirty brush.

Designed as a two-part stool, the stuul occupies a fraction of its intended space when not in use, and transforms into two foot-stools when you’re on the John. Using stuul helps elevate your legs in a way that resembles the squatting posture that’s clinically proven to make the job easier. stuul’s design helps position the legs at the desired angle to help promote a healthy bathroom routine and prevent diseases like IBS. With a design-conscious approach, the stuul is styled less like a clinical product and more as something fitting of being in your well-decorated bathroom. The two tripod-stools fit together into each other, becoming a single form that’s easy to stash somewhere for later, while its faceted design gives it a decidedly premium feel.

Why shouldn’t your bathroom scale do more than just tell you your weight? The PEBBLE was designed with this question in mind and provides an innovative solution that might just make you wonder why this doesn’t already exist! After showering, you can step on the scale and it will air-dry your feet and sanitize with infrared light. The upward-facing fans help you dry off faster and ensure you don’t carry excess moisture which can result in a number of unwanted health scenarios. Synced with the PEBBLE app on your smartphone, it will automatically upload and track your weight stats and give you daily, weekly, and monthly status updates to maintain a healthy BMI.

chrome_07

Imagined for the OXO brand, the Chrome Bath Suite aims to elevate the average person’s washroom with an easy-to-use, seamlessly integrated collection of bath items. Consisting of a soap holder, wall mirror, shower shelf, and towel hook, the set has everything one needs to keep things tidy and organized. Better yet, none of the units require any tools to install. Instead, a thoughtfully designed suction cup mechanism grips onto vertical surfaces before the various elements are attached. An elegant chrome finish rounds out the look and brings each unit together in one cohesive collection.
