Looking for recommendations for men's grooming stuff

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 was 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.

Not sure if they’re everywhere, but around here you just go to the local farmer’s market and find the old hippy who makes soap. You buy the soaps you enjoy the smell of and use those. Basic ingredients that are much nicer on your skin, and usually last longer. Bar soap works well for lather with shaving if you don’t use an electric raiser as well. Haven’t found a good deoderant yet, all the ones that are better for the skin don’t seem to work well. At least, every person who’s told me about their healthier deodorant has smelled of bo.

Also, soap and shampoo bars are the way to go instead of liquid versions - less plastic waste. If you’re concerned with dry/sensitive skin, try to find ones without SLS (Sodium lauryl sulphate), it’s a foaming agent used in loads of soap products, but it’s actually an irritant.

SLS is an irritant in that soap is an irritant and SLS is a strong soap. Scrub your hands excessively and see if they get irritated most soaps. People use too much gd shampoo

It is a detergent, but I don’t think that means you can call it a soap. I could be wrong though. The best soap has the glycerin left in, so it’s moisturising your skin even as the detergents are drying it out.
