In Quebec!
Yes ! 100% recyclable and made of monomaterial.
The applicator is made from a single material (monomaterial), making recycling easier. It is made of food-grade polypropylene to protect your health. It's the most environmentally friendly option to date. The mold is made of silicone and designed to last a lifetime!
We explored different material ideas for the applicator. We excluded aluminum due to its highly polluting extraction process and ruled out bioplastic due to the lack of suitable recycling facilities, creating additional waste in jurisdictions without the necessary facilities.
Yes! Our packaging is 100% recyclable, just like your applicator.
All papers wrapping our deodorant refills are recyclable. In most cases, these papers are also biodegradable and commercially compostable. Check product sheets for more information.
First and foremost, its refillability sets KIIMA apart significantly from what you typically purchase, as it drastically reduces the consumption of polluting materials each year.
By adopting KIIMA, you save between 6 to 10 traditional applicators that would be discarded annually (depending on the frequency of your deodorant use).
Additionally, our patented unique mechanism allows you to use 100% of the deodorant refill. Here too, we prioritize natural and raw materials that are not unnecessarily harvested, extracted, or processed.
Moreover, you have the option to choose your favorite combo and switch it according to your body's needs and preferences. These deodorants come in various scents from brands we trust completely. Your refills will always be of natural origin, vegan, cruelty-free, and respectful of your skin's health.
Deodorant refills
Absolutely! Our deodorants are carefully formulated by trusted partners like Green Beaver, Pretty Frank, The Unscented Company, GROOM, Banbu, La Saponaria, and Unii. These refills are designed to be effective, gentle on the skin, and uncompromising on quality. Tested and approved by our team and many customers, our deodorants do not contain aluminum salts, leave no white marks on clothing, and are cruelty-free. Plus, with our innovative KIIMA refillable deodorant applicator, you get an eco-friendly and sustainable solution. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we invite you to experience the effectiveness of our products.
The refills from Pretty Frank, The Unscented Company, GROOM, Banbu, La Saponaria, and Unii are deodorants. Green Beaver refills have a dual action that protects against both odors and moisture.
Each person has their own personal deodorant usage, which varies from person to person, making it difficult to give an exact number of days. However, we can estimate a minimum duration of 1 to 3 months based on usage.
The shelf life of our deodorant refills is 2 years. Beyond this period, your deodorant may lose effectiveness and olfactory intensity.
Tested and approved by our team and many customers, our deodorants undergo rigorous testing. No white marks are left on clothing after application, ensuring a stain-free experience.
Opt for The Unscented Company deodorant refill or La Saponaria's Cotton Cloud for an odor-free option.
Our refills will always be natural, vegan, cruelty-free, and respectful of your skin's health.
Several factors must be considered, so it's essential to read the composition of each refill carefully. For example, if you have allergies, such as coconut oil allergy, it's necessary to read the full ingredient list before making your choice. The final step is always to perform a skin test on a small area, such as the forearm, before using the product in larger quantities daily.

KIIMA DIY mold
The mold is made of food-grade silicone. The advantages of having a silicone mold include the flexibility for easy demolding with its double walls, resistance to high temperatures, durability, non-stick properties, versatility, easy cleaning, chemical resistance, and protection against bacteria when in contact with your DIY recipe.
Get the KIIMA DIY deodorant mold and check out our blog for a variety of recipes that you can easily make at home.
We discourage the use of stainless steel culinary instruments in your recipes for several reasons. Some natural ingredients used in deodorants, such as essential oils, can chemically interact with metals, affecting the quality of the final product and potentially causing undesirable reactions.
Furthermore, stainless steel may sometimes react with acidic or alkaline components present in the ingredients, altering the composition of your deodorant. It is recommended to use glass, non-reactive plastic, or wooden utensils when preparing personal care products with ingredients sensitive to metallic reactions. This ensures the preservation of the integrity of your natural formulations.
