Myro Deodorant
As our second foray into injection molded mass market products, this project addresses both the health concerns and the ecological impact concerns that surround its industry. We designed Myro as a refillable deodorant system that uses 50% less plastic than a typical drugstore deodorant. Our approach was to create hardware that's easy to use, with fully recyclable replacement deodorant pods. The pods slip in, are used with the familiar turning of a dial and, when empty, pop out automatically.
The multifaceted shape of the hardware is designed for easy turning and a tactile experience; of course, it also prevents the deodorant from rolling away when it's on its side. Each click of the dial allows more deodorant to come out in a way that's pleasing to use, while the deodorant itself is natural and aluminum free. It's a shift away from both the harmful chemicals often found in deodorants and the overwhelming plastic waste that has become an industry norm.
