Stay fresh with Coconut Matter deodorants

Has the hot weather got you all stinky? Meet Hong Kong-born, ethical and clean beauty brand Coconut Matter, which has launched in Singapore with a range of natural deodorants in zero-waste packaging.

The Mood Natural Deodorants ($33) are formulated with a blend of essential oils to create five uplifting scents - ranging from geranium and lavender to warm, woody bergamot and cedarwood.

They are made from organic coconut oil, alongside up to 19 plant and mineral ingredients. The vegan formula is also free from aluminium, baking soda, parabens, silicone, phthalates and other such nasties. Topping it off is the compostable, plastic-free tube packaging rolled by hand in Hong Kong.

Founder Diane van Zwanenberg, whose mother had a mastectomy, created the brand in 2015 to make personal care products that are free of toxins and potential carcinogen ingredients and safe for her own daughter to use.

The brand is the newest addition to Asian beauty platform SocietyA.
