Tom’s of Maine’s deodorants feature hops and natural fragrances, along with a blend of vegetable oils, organic aloe leaf juice, and other plant-based ingredients and have 24-hour odor protection. The deodorant is also in fully recyclable packaging through local municipalities or the TerraCycle Tom’s of Maine Natural Care Brigade which is great for the environment and if that wasn’t enough, with every purchase, Tom’s of Maine donates 10% of profits back to helping people and the planet.
Tom's of Maine is partnering with the recycling experts at TerraCycle again this spring to promote its #LessWasteChallenge and Toy Recycling Program.
Tom's of Maine is providing families with free shipping labels to mail broken toys to TerraCycle for recycling.
Susan Dewhirst, goodness programs manager at Tom's of Maine, says, "The act of recycling a toy together can be a way for parents to start a conversation with their kids about what we can all do to take care of the planet for generations."
Tom Szaky, founder and CEO of TerraCycle adds, "Toys are a waste stream people don't think about that often, but the amount of broken toys sent to landfills is significant and there hasn't been a way to dispose of them. Parents can now feel good knowing that broken toys can be 100% recycled or reused, which helps planet Earth."
Zero Waste By 2020
Tom's of Maine is taking its own #LessWasteChallenge by having a goal of zero waste to landfills by 2020 at its manufacturing facility in Maine.
The company has also partnered with TerraCycle to create the Natural Care Recycling Program, which now has 8,590 participating locations. The program collects personal care packaging from any brand, helping to keep 700,000 pieces of packaging out of landfills since the program began in 2012.
It’s time to green up your post run freshening up routine! Tom’s of Maine leads the way in creating natural care and beauty products without causing you to worry about what you are putting on your body.
One of the many reasons that I run is to get outside and to enjoy all of the beauty that the nature around me has to offer. When I go for a run in my town I run with mountains to one side of my and with the Connecticut River flowing by on the other side. Just as this beautiful landscape reminds me about the importance of preserving the delicate environment around us I am also reminded of taking care of my body in the same way. That is one of the many reasons that I am very careful about what I choose to put into my body when I eat and also what I use to care for my body through beauty and freshening up routines.
Tom’s of Maine has now introduced a new deodorant formula with new and improved scents, that as always, is free of aluminum, artificial fragrances and petrochemicals. Tom’s of Maine has taken out the potentially harmful ingredients in exchange for natural and organic ingredients that are better for your skin and your body.
Here are some of the many reasons I am switching to the new line of Tom’s of Maine Natural Deodorants. I hope that you will consider switching too!

- Free of aluminum
- Free of artificial fragrances
- Free of petrochemicals

Have you developed a sensitivity to baking soda in deodorant? After a year, I finally found a natural baking soda free deodorant that works.
I started doing some research and learned that it is very common to become sensitized to baking soda. I read story after story about people that had become sensitized to baking soda because of their deodorant, often after long periods of time like me.
The Search for a Natural Baking Soda Free Deodorant
So I started a new search. One for a natural, baking soda free deodorant that would work. I tried several brands over the course of a year and nothing worked. I was getting tired of washing my arm pits multiple times a day to keep myself feeling and smelling fresh.
Then Tom’s of Maine reached out and asked if I’d like to try some of their Long Lasting Natural Deodorant. I decided that since nothing else had worked, I’d give it a try. So they sent me a box of a few scents to try. My husband and I each grabbed a stick to test it out.
And both my husband and I have found that Tom’s deodorants work too. They offer clinically proven, 24-hour odor protection using odor-fighting hops, the mineral zinc and only natural fragrances.
In addition to its new and improved, best-selling deodorant, this leading natural personal care brand makes high quality natural toothpaste, mouthwash, dental floss, bar soap and baby care products.
Tom’s of Maine’s packing is fully recyclable through local municipalities or the TerraCycle Tom’s of Maine Natural Care Brigade. In addition, they give 10% of profits back to helping people and the planet and they never test their products on animals.
Another major selling point for me is that with every purchaseTom's of Maine gives 10% of profits back to helping people and the planet. They also say no to animal testing and do not use animal ingredients. Their packaging is recyclable through local municipalities or the TerraCycle Tom's of Maine Natural Care Brigade. In addition to deodorant Tom's of Maine is also the leading natural personal care brand that makes high quality natural toothpaste, mouthwash, dental floss, deodorant, bar soap and baby care products.
One more thing I really love about Tom’s of Maine is their fully recyclable packaging through local municipalities or the TerraCycle Tom’s of Maine Natural Care Brigade. I think it’s so great that they not only offer natural products, but packaging that can be easily recycled too. If that wasn’t enough, they also give 10% of their profits back to helping people and the planet!
The “
green gap” is alive and well, yet many companies and marketers still don’t seem to notice. On the one hand, we continue to see a massive influx of passionate consumers telling us they are
willing to pay a premium for products from socially and environmentally responsible companies
Five seriously awesome bragging rights and other reasons I have decided to become a
Tom’s of Maine user:
My mother always told me it was good to sweat because sweat helps remove waste and toxins which is important to long-term health and wellness. That is why I chose to use a natural deodorant.
