Looking for recommendations for men's grooming stuff (lemmy.world)

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!
