About Us
ÉTICOS began with a journey and a simple question. While exploring his roots in Indonesia, our founder Rick picked up a deodorant at a local supermarket. He couldn’t read any of the Indonesian writing on the packaging, and somehow, that sense of unfamiliarity got him thinking. When he got back to his home country, he looked at his usual deodorant and realised he was just as clueless about its ingredients. What were all these chemicals he was putting on his skin?
Rick came to a realisation: many of the everyday body care essentials are packed with suspect additives and synthetics we don’t need — or even want. Frustrated by the lack of transparent alternatives, he created ÉTICOS: a deodorant that combines nature’s finest ingredients with the latest scientific advancements.
ÉTICOS is more than just natural formulations; it is also about thoughtful packaging. Our refillable deodorant system cuts out single-use plastic, aligning with our mission to reduce environmental impact. With a durable, reusable outer case and refills made out of compostable material from bio-based sources, it fully eliminates the need for single-use disposable packaging.
ÉTICOS gives you the best of both worlds — for you and our planet.
1. Open the case
Press the buttons on both sides at the same time and slide the outer case upwards to open.
2. Place the refill
Remove the sleeve from the refill and position the refill on the base and push until you hear a soft click.
3. Close the housing
Slide the outer case back over the refill base until you hear a click.
4. Twist to use
Twist the bottom clockwise until about 2mm of deodorant is visible.
As you twist, you’ll hear a gentle click—this means the refill base is unlocked and ready to be pushed upward.
Finish your current refill entirely before switching to a new one. The refill’s bottom stays locked in the base, and removing it early may cause deodorant to spill.
5. Time to refill again?
When it’s time for a new refill, simply open the case, remove the empty refill, screw down the pusher anti-clockwise and insert a new one.
How to Apply ÉTICOS Deodorant?
Clean skin. Maximum performance.
Apply to clean, dry and healthy armpits for optimal absorption and all-day effectiveness.
Don't apply too much deodorant. A couple of swipes is enough. Start with 2–3 gentle swipes.
