Schmidt’s Deodorant is Here

Posted October 4th, 2011

By the Schmidt’s Deodorant People
Schmidt’s is excited to introduce our all natural deodorant to members of Alberta Co-op Grocery!  Based in Portland, OR, Schmidt’s is a producer of high quality body care products for women and men.  Our signature deodorant allows for the body’s natural process of perspiring while effectively absorbing wetness and neutralizing odor; we avoid the use of toxic chemical compounds that obstruct the pores to prevent the body from sweating.  Schmidt’s users report they remain dry and free of offensive body odor, even after extended periods of physical activity.  Our deodorant is also favored for its moisturizing and soothing properties.  Schmidt’s deodorant is available in two blends:  Our Cedarwood Deodorant is lightly scented with 100% pure essential oil, and our Unscented Deodorant was developed for those sensitive to fragrance.  To learn more about Schmidt’s, please visit us at our website, or find us on Facebook.

These deodorants will retail at just $6.99 a tin.  Come in and experience it for yourself!

You can reduce your impact on the environment through different methods for outdoor cooking and grilling food.

• Limit residues on food and ground level ozone by using propane, electric grills, solar ovens, or lump coal for cooking food.  Charcoal briquettes often contain chemical inputs.

• Use a chimney starter for briquettes instead of lighter fluids.

• Choose lean, organic, and locally grown meats, and trim the fat to avoid carcinogens that could occur from charcoal smoke and flame ups.

• Set the picnic table with reusable dishware.  If that’s not possible, look for biodegradable or recycled paper napkins, cups, and plates.
