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 is 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.

I like to wear nice perfume so I gravitate towards unscented deodorant and I swear by "Dead Down Wind" they usually make products to mask your scent for hunting, but recently started to make deodorant and it works REALLY well. It survives my long gym sessions, so it holds up. But I also have sensitive skin so I don't use it daily. My go to daily is Brickell's unscented.

For bodywash I like to use bar soap, Shea Moisture is usually the brand I gravitate to since I can find it in most stores, and I like their lotion as well because it is unscented.

Full disclosure, I don't have dark skin, but I have tattoos covering most of my skin on my body and haven't noticed any sort of whitecasting when using these products. Well except the deodorant, but I kinda expect that from deodorant that isn't the gel kind.
