Nice news from Ben and Anna
Actively create a clean and plastic-free environment
About 8 million tons of garbage end up in the world's oceans every year. Of those 8 million tons, about 75% is plastic. To date, well over 140 million tons are in the oceans around the world. According to a UN study, by 2050 at the latest, the weight of plastic in the seas will exceed the total weight of all fish. Every year tens of thousands of animals die from plastic waste caused by humans.And plastic waste in the sea does not simply disappear, no, because the waste has a residence time of up to 450 years. The longer plastic floats in the seas, the smaller plastic parts, so-called microplastics, are formed due to friction, salt water, etc. As a result, the shredded plastic can spread everywhere and can no longer be removed. Finally, the microplastics also end up in our food chain, e.g. through the ingestion of fish.This cannot and must not go on like this. What only a few know, we all can and must do something against the plastic madness and we must act now. If possible, avoid plastic bags, plastic packaging and disposable plastic items. In order to enable recycling, it is necessary that the waste is properly separated. Avoid cosmetics with microplastic particles. Ideally, avoid cosmetics that are sold in plastic packaging. Participate in local garbage collection campaigns. Many cities and municipalities call for a garbage collection campaign from time to time. If you take part, you are not only doing something good for your conscience, you are also freeing the annoying plastic waste from your direct environment at the same time.We also try to make a small contribution with our deodorants in packaging made of FSC-certified paper and very much hope that a general rethinking of the senseless waste of plastic will take place as soon as possible. A wonderful project that we support and would like to present briefly below is the environmental organization One Earth - One Ocean e.V.One Earth - One Ocean e.V. from Garching near Munich pursues the major goal of freeing waters worldwide from plastic waste, oil and chemicals. The multi-stage concept of "Maritime Garbage Disposal" envisages collecting plastic garbage from waterways around the world with special garbage collection ships and then recycling or disposing of it. to convert into oil. The garbage is collected in net containers that are attached under the garbage chute ship. The first prototypes of small ships - the sea hamsters - about three meters long and two meters wide for cleaning inland waters are already in use. In September 2016, the next larger model, the Seekuh, was launched. The ship, also based on the catamaran shape, has a size of 12 x 10 meters. It can be used to clean inland waterways, estuaries and also coastal sections.If you would also like to support the organization One Earth One Ocean e.V. with a donation, then simply follow this link, where you will find more information:https://oneearth-oneocean.com/ich-will-helfen/

Vegan deodorants: on the trail of the trend
Pssst, watch out! Are you vegan and haven't found the right deodorant yet? Or do you just want to try something new without having to feel bad about our environment? Do you want to do something good for yourself and your health? Then you are exactly right here!There are many ways to protect the environment and do something good for yourself. You can bike to work, buy organic groceries or use vegan deodorant. Wait a minute... a vegan deodorant? Yeah right. There is such a thing! And not only that. Because vegan deodorants are actually the trend in natural cosmetics. But what is actually behind this new trend and what should you pay attention to when buying?What you should know about vegan deodorantsVegan deodorants that are labeled as such are guaranteed free of animal components, i.e. both the product itself and the underlying production process are free of animal components. At least that's what you'd think, but unfortunately it's not that simple. Anyone who has ever looked around in natural cosmetics and looked for vegan cosmetic products will have noticed that in reality there are countless different labels. Of course, this also applies to vegan deodorants. It is not easy for the consumer to find his way through this certification jungle, because all these products stand for supposedly vegan cosmetics. In fact, however, they are transparent to varying degrees depending on the issuing company.If you really want to be sure, you should therefore choose a vegan deodorant that has either been awarded the Vegan Society England Vegan Flower like Ben&Anna or has the V-Label of the European Vegetarian Union. These stand for transparency and clarity and are therefore rightly among the most reliable labels.And the best thing about it: when it comes to effectiveness, a vegan deodorant can keep up with conventional products. The alternative principle of action is a real option for those who do not want to take any risks with regard to their health. Conversely, anyone who decides on a vegan deodorant or wants to try a vegan deodorant does not have to do without the usual effect. With the right composition of natural ingredients and a little patience, even a vegan deodorant keeps what it promises.A vegan deodorant - not just for vegans!In fact, the vegan deodorant is not only very popular among vegans. Young people who are not vegan are also increasingly turning to natural cosmetic products and vegan deodorants. The reason is very simple: conventional deodorants in particular have repeatedly fallen into disrepute over the past few decades due to questionable ingredients. This includes not only parabens, but also synthetic fragrances. And as a consumer, you rarely know what is actually actually contained in your favorite, pleasantly scented deodorant. That's why many people are now turning to a natural, vegan deodorant, even though they don't otherwise follow a vegan lifestyle.So, at the end of the day, choosing a vegan deodorant isn’t always necessarily a lifestyle choice, but rather a decision for your own health and against controversial ingredients.

Protected of course
If you take care of yourself, have a well-groomed appearance and are also open in dealing with other people, it will be easier in everyday life and at work. But what use is well-groomed hair, subtle make-up and a fresh perfume if the deodorant fails and dark spots appear under your arms again? For God's sake! For many people in this country, the idea alone is pure horror. Because if you really pay attention to your personal hygiene, you won't have any sweat spots - or will you? At least one thing is certain: We haven't had a natural relationship with natural sweating for a long time.KO criterion: effectivenessNo effort is spared to hide the large and small signs of sweating: the spectrum ranges from high-dose antiperspirants to homemade sage tea. While some still rely on conventional deodorants, the health-conscious consumer has long been trying to break new ground: with a balanced diet and a natural deodorant.When it comes to anti-sweat remedies, the knockout criterion is clearly effectiveness. And most believe that a natural deodorant simply cannot keep up. Wrong thought! A natural deodorant can be just as effective as conventional deodorants. However, if you are planning to switch to a natural deodorant, you should be aware of one thing: patience is required. Because it may be that the body needs time to adjust to the alternative active principle of the natural deodorant. It could take a few weeks for the new deodorant to take full effect.Why choose a natural deodorant?For most people, reaching for the deodorant is just as much a part of it as the morning cup of coffee. However, hardly anyone asks what is actually contained in their longtime favorite deodorant, how exactly it works and what the pleasant scent is based on. In fact, many of the ingredients in conventional, non-natural deodorants are highly controversial from a health perspective. Some are even suspected of being carcinogenic. Parabens, synthetic fragrances and various emulsifiers are particularly questionable. You can easily do without them: with a natural deodorant.A natural deodorant is often based exclusively on natural ingredients and is therefore not harmful to health. Due to the lack of synthetic preservatives, it is often much more skin-friendly than conventional products. While conventional deodorants could repeatedly lead to allergies and intolerances due to their composition, a natural deodorant is gentle on the skin and causes far fewer allergic reactions. A natural deodorant is the better choice, especially in the long term.But there are even more reasons to take a closer look in the natural cosmetics department the next time you go shopping. And it's worth it! In fact, you don't have to panic if you want to prevent those unpleasant sweat stains on hot summer days or during sports. Even a natural deodorant can do this. If you still want to be absolutely sure, it is best to pay attention to the ingredients arrowroot and baking soda, also known as bicarbonate, when buying. These ensure that the resulting moisture is absorbed and a drying effect is created and the odor is inhibited.So if you want to do something good for your health, you should definitely try a natural deodorant. Because the fact is: Even a natural deodorant offers effective protection against sweat and odor, you just have to give it some time.

Sustainable deodorant protection with the power of nature Who does not know it? A new deodorant is needed! Often it is the unexpected circumstance that the deodorant is empty and we go in search of something new. But sometimes it is also the desire for change, a new fragrance or a controversial ingredient that causes a stir again. And so we stand in front of the shelf and let our eyes wander. There's the deodorant the girls used to have in 6th grade. and 7. class all had. And then that from the ad. This seems to be the latest hit among fitness moms. At least I know the design. The inscription says fresh and feminine - as if it were the only deodorant that advertises with these attributes. Honestly, how about something really special? A new formula, maybe a natural deodorant. Something not everyone has!Spoiled for choice In fact, finding the right deodorant is not easy. And especially when not only the fragrance and effect, but also the ingredients should convince. A natural deodorant would actually be just the thing! But that's not so easy, because we actually find the same thing almost everywhere on the drugstore shelves: the same brands, the same fragrances, the same ingredients. And, of course, mainly conventional cosmetic products. The demand for natural deodorants is increasing, but so far only a few products have established themselves in drugstores. Finding a really good natural deodorant is not that easy.There is almost nothing better for your own health than a natural deodorant. When it comes to ingredients, many conventional deodorants are repeatedly subjected to harsh criticism. Not only chemical ingredients, but also parabens and synthetic fragrances regularly cause a stir in this context. In fact, the topic of ingredients has become a long-running issue in many areas of cosmetics in recent years, and so the door finally opened for countless natural cosmetic products, including natural deodorants, creams and shampoos.The hook? Many natural products often do worse than conventional cosmetic products in comparative tests, so that a large part of the population continues to be critical of natural deodorants. But that need not be! The explanation is very simple: once our body has gotten used to the conventional active principle of our cosmetic products, it takes a while before it has adjusted to the natural deodorant and its formula and reacts to it. So if we switch from a conventional to a natural deodorant, the natural deodorant will most likely never show the same effect as the previous one immediately on the first use. That does not mean, however, that the promised effect is completely absent. We just need a little patience. After all, good things take time!With Ben&Anna, a unique deodorant series has now been developed that is based exclusively on vegan ingredients of natural origin and also keeps what it promises in terms of effect. The natural deodorant works on the basis of natural baking soda and the power of arrowroot extracts, which ensure a pleasant drying effect. In addition, this natural deodorant impresses with its consistency: In contrast to other natural deodorants, Ben&Anna is super easy to apply, does not crumble and absorbs quickly.Available in four different fragrance variations, Ben&Anna is also one of the few natural deodorants that can be used by both men and women.
