KENNEBUNK, Maine -- Tom's of Maine is thrilled to introduce 100% plastic-free packaging for our Natural Strength Deodorants! This is the latest breakthrough driven by our deeply-rooted commitment to sustainability and making people and our planet happy. Natural Strength Deodorant will be exclusively in paper packaging, a perfect fit for the aluminum-free formulas which use only naturally derived ingredients and provide powerful, 48-hour odor protection.

PS – after many requests we've also added a Sensitive offering (exclusively at Target) made with hemp seed oil and natural fragrances.

About Tom's of Maine
Tom's of Maine has been making safe, effective natural personal care products for over 50 years. It all began when Tom and Kate Chappell moved to Maine in 1968 looking for a healthier, simpler life for their growing family. And when they couldn't find personal care products that were free from artificial flavors, fragrances, sweeteners, colors and preservatives, they decided to make their own. Tom's of Maine products – including toothpaste, deodorant, mouthwash, antiperspirant, bar soap, body wash, dental floss, and toothbrushes – are made from naturally sourced and naturally derived ingredients and never tested on animals. A Certified B Corporation, Tom's of Maine is committed to upholding a purpose-driven business and has a long-standing commitment to supporting nature and healthy families. Tom's of Maine has supported hundreds of nonprofits by giving back 10% of its profits, and employees are encouraged to use 5% of their paid time (12 days) volunteering for causes they are passionate about. Most Tom's of Maine products are vegan, kosher, halal-certified and gluten-free. All packaging is recyclable through a partnership with upcycling leader TerraCycle or participating municipalities.
