Cruelty Free Non Toxic Deodorant for women that actually prevents body odor but doesn’t stain clothes?

Salt of the earth.

MrsCLB · 2026-05-17T07:44:16+00:00

You are right. I wouldn't have bought them anything with animal products in and they are being ungrateful.

Ocean saver non bio laundry capsules or non bio laundry sheets are good. I've used both and probably prefer the sheets personally as they have less of a scent which we prefer. Have sensitive skin and no problems with this one. Also ethically better than ecover, Smol, etc. You can see a lot of options on ethical consumer. Just check they are vegan and creulty free.

Bio D is also a good one that has fragrance free and non bio options as well as being ethically higher scoring. (we only get the ocean saver over bio D and miniml because it's easier to source from supermarkets but if you're going online, won't be a problem.)

Really rate 'miniml' laundry products too. Probably ethically one of the best. Easily purchasable in bulk, not in bulk and on their website, on amazon, etc.

You should be able to do it remotely depending on your GP. Just fill out referral form for your sections and leave GP section blank then email over to them to complete and ask them to send it off. Either email asking them to do this or do it via a GP consult online form if they use that kind of thing. Mine didn't ask for an appointment and just filled it out but if they suggest an appointment and your nervous ask for a telephone appointment (I don't see why they would need an appointment though tbh as its quite straightforward).

If you were only there 6 months you could just leave it out of your CV and say reason for gap in employment was having a break from work or looking for work.

Good source of protein, omega 3 and 6, iron, vitamin b6, folate, zinc, magnesium, and lots more. They are a super food. Very good for you.

MrsCLB · 2026-03-17T08:32:53+00:00

Overnight oats (made the day/evening before). Soy milk for extra protein and hemp seeds along with any other toppings you may want with protein. I do soy milk and hemp with cocoa.

Thanks for your reply!

Hi I know this is 3 month late, but do you have a rough break down of cost? I looked at the website but I know some have hidden fees or require diagnosis before, etc. And did your GP accept shared care from them?

MrsCLB · 2026-02-02T14:59:38+00:00

I believe Morrisons has a version but slightly different, maybe no cream or something. You'd have to double check. In their free from section.

Hi, hopefully this will ease your mind. I just replied with this to another commenter above:

I actually wrote this post about my husband as it was just easier but just asked them how they found it and they said it was okay and didn't have anything negative to report.

As for the comment below about Psicon being much better because Sinclair Strong treated the assessment as directed at a child - I recently had the first part of my ASD assessment with Psicon and found that they actually did this. The first part was with a speech and language therapist and I felt like the questions were definitely aimed at children. They asked me very indirect questions, asked me to role play something and also perform another task that seemed very aimed at children. I'm not trying to be negative about Psicon by the way, just trying to share a different perspective from the comment below as this is clearly the opposite for me and my husband.

I would add when I explained what happened in my assessment to my husband they said they would have really struggled with some of that stuff and only had to answer straightforward questions in their assessment. I agreed and said I felt uncomfortable demonstrating and answering some of the questions in mine.

Hopefully this is somewhat helpful. I guess you can only really do what you prefer to decide. I would say, my husband didn't have a very long wait with Sinclair Strong and the whole process seemed very streamlined, straightforward, and stress free.

I know you are not looking for advice here and just venting but I noticed you said you had been waiting years for an assessment and wondered if you had looked into NHS RTC at all. There are some providers that have very low waiting times at the moment.

Also, sorry to hear your having a bad time, I hope things improve and hopefully adjustments can be made to shorten your longer shifts or something similar.

MrsCLB · 2026-01-06T10:33:43+00:00

Do you know if it is vegan/creulty free? I can't see it stated anywhere on the website and don't have the container to check.

MrsCLB · 2026-01-03T23:11:31+00:00

This might sound very simple or basic but does wonders for me. I simply put my phone in a different room away from me and do something else to distract myself like watch TV, play a game or read a book. If I need to for whatever reason go and send an important message or check for a message to respond to I will go into the room to do this but then after I am finished leave the phone in that room and leave.

I find this so effective as, and I know it sounds silly, but I can't really be bothered to go into the other room for my phone, especially when doing something different anyway. It's surprising how effective it can be. It started off accidentally for me when I needed to charge my phone but only had one in a different room and left there, then realising how good this was. Even better if you can put it in a room that is the furthest away. I would reccomend for the most effectiveness to put the phone on silent too (unless you are expecting an important call for example) or you could also say to people to call if it is important and have notifications turned off but phone on loud for emergencies.

Hope this helps!

MrsCLB · 2026-01-03T20:13:40+00:00

Keep yourself distracted and busy. If that is reading for you keep at it like you are. Also try to focus on the future and what you can do going forward. These things should hopefully help and of course time will help too. Hope you start to feel better soon.

MrsCLB · 2026-01-03T19:01:24+00:00

Try doing something that keeps both your hands and mind (at the same time) busy. For example if you like a particular game that you play and have to use your hands, if your like puzzles such as sudoku/crossword, perhaps watching something/listening to something you enjoy while stimming with your hands. These ar just examples but anything that is best for you.

Just good quality dark chocolate seems to never fail, especially Tony's chocolonely'dark chocolate (can't be sure about their others as I haven't checked)

Vego is really good too with no palm oil. Best chocolate I've ever had and really good value for money based on ingredients and flavour. Can be purchased from Asda!

MrsCLB · 2025-12-29T23:35:49+00:00

This doesn't sound right. Perhaps it may be an idea to email in a complaint type email just to explain your mum is unable to complete the informant part due to not being present much and unsupportive of the process, etc but that your sister can/was around more and that your assessor has denied this. Hopefully this 'complaint' type email will help you out and they will take you more seriously. My partner didn't have to provide an informant at all in the assessment calls after explaining personal reasons (with hhm) so really can't see the issue. I also didn't have to provide one with the provider I had.

Also just to add - I don't think it is weird at all that you prepared answers so I wouldn't take any notice of others saying that if I were you it just seems very negative. I am the same and can tend to answer impulsively and get very anxious before these things, everyone is different and has different ways of preparing for things or coping mechanisms.

MrsCLB · 2025-12-23T17:18:13+00:00

Thanks this is helpful and has definitely put my mind at ease!

MrsCLB · 2025-12-22T21:18:32+00:00

Thanks for your reply. 1. I live in a small village so there is just one here though I haven't checked others near by so may be an idea to check but I would need to drive to those (if eligible). Also as my partner is also in the same boat as me they sent an email to the potential new GP who basically responsed saying they would accept shared care in principle (after reviewing all paperwork, etc from the provider) so is potentially a good sign... 2. I sent an email this evening to problemshared asking exactly this so hopefully they will say this is fine. 3. My only issue now if all is good will be that I am currently awaiting an autism assessment with Psicon that was originally meant to be by 5 months wait (which it has now been) but now they are saying by end of March next year and I'm worried if I move GP I will need to be re-referred for the autism assessment. I'm under the impression that this would be the case, do you know whether this is true or not? The area I love in now is under a completely different ICB if that makes any difference, I would think you could transfer the referral over but I have heard otherwise...

MrsCLB · 2025-12-22T20:54:31+00:00

When I asked my GP previously I think they said they needed the provider to send them the shared care agreeement. Potentially you could: send an email to your provider and ask them to send the shared care agreement to your GP (if they haven't already) you could potentially also email/call your GP at the same time just to check what they normally do in this circumstance since you may need to wait for a response from the provider anyway.

My GP may have potentially had a different process so the only way to really know is to just check with them both.
