Yay—let's recycle! Here’s a quick guide for when you've finished using all your products:
1. Make the products 'recycle ready' by rinsing it out and cleaning it. What if the product doesn't work for me? Give it to someone who might like to try it! That way, you will minimise wastage and give the product a second home. ♡♡
2. Get the DETAILS! Typically, most skin care packaging is recyclable in Australia, but what can and can’t be recycled depends on where you live. A quick Google search will reveal a recycling guideline based on your state / territory.
3. Can I put this in my recycling bin? If you've checked and the answer is 'yes', give these items a second life and put them in the recycling bin. If it's not, look into enterprises like TerraCycle, to help you properly recycle your beauty products. If the product is recycable through TerraCycle, it is FREE and all you have to do is gather your empty products together, print a recycling label and ship it out - that’s it! They’ll take care of the rest for you.
FYI, recycling plants uses numbers ranging from 1 to 7 to help sort all the materials. PETE stands for Polyethylene Terephthalate and PP stands for Polypropylene — these are both plastics. PAP represents paper / mixed paper / cardboard. See Earth Easy to learn more about your plastics.
That's it babes! Remember to love our earth; love our planet! #dontbetrashy
Love Nuud but not keen on applying it with your fingers? Bit of a tactile avoidant? No worries! Nuud has you covered with The Botanical Stick!
Just like the brand's popular anti-odorant cream, The Nuud Botanical Stick features a powerful vegan formula that respects your body's natural microbiome and keeps your armpits fresh. It uses the odour-fighting power of microsilver, along with nourishing plant oils from coconut, sunflower seeds, and olives for happy skin. We love the plastic-friendly packaging too. The big difference is that instead of being odour-less like Nuud's traditional products, these Botanical Sticks come in 4 fresh scents, powered by natural plant oils:

Product of Netherlands.
Nuud Natural Deodorant loves all skin types and takes care of sensitive / dry skin. Looking for a fragrance-free version? Try the original Stick, here.
Apply The Stick to your underarms as you would a roll-on. Depending on your body type and how often you sweat, you may only need to apply Nuud every other day. We reckon most people will require a daily application. Give your body an 'adjustment' period if you're making the switch to a natural deodorant for the first time. Once your body finishes detoxing, you'll never look back!
Precautions:
Stop using the product immediately and consult a dermatologist when redness, swelling, or other skin irritations occur, and consult a physician. Avoid applying the product on open wounds or skin inflammation. Keep away from direct sunlight and out of reach of infants and children.

NUUD deodorant is indeed vegan and cruelty-free! It's a great vegan alternative to conventional deodorants.
The Nuud Stick lasts on average, around 6 weeks. This compares to the original Nuud Starter Cream at 6-7 weeks.
Don't fret if you still smell after using NUUD: when you first use it, it takes an adjustment period. The smell of perspiration isn't masked by added fragrances when you first switch to nuud. It takes time for your microbiome to get used to this new product and inhibit the smelly bacteria - usually around 2 weeks. For some people who don't have a lot of bacteria to start with, nuud will work right from the first application! It's different for everyone.
NUUD anti-ordorant is incredibly effective - just check out the reviews! It works by inhibiting smelly bacteria that causes odours. What it won't do is block your pores with chemicals and stop you from sweating - which is your body's natural way of regulating your temperature. You'll still sweat, but it will be odorless.
How long it takes for NUUD to work really depends on the person. For those who are already using clean or natural deodorants, it's more likely to work sooner than those who use anti-perspirants. Anti-perspirant generally go through a detox period of a week or two, after which you should feel NUUD kick in and the odour disappear. At that stage, you can even try reducing your frequency of application: many only need to apply it every other day.
The Nuud Botanical Sticks are naturally scented with fragrant plant oils! There are no artificial perfumes added to the formulas. If you'd prefer a version without essential oils, opt for the original Stick from Nuud.
NUUD works thanks to the micro silver in the formula. Micro silver naturally prevents the smell of perspiration, without blocking the pores or irritating the skin. There's no aluminium, irritating salts, animinal-derived ingredients, or petrochemical-derived ingredients. Just the good stuff!
