Helmm gives the traditional deodorant and antiperspirant product an elevated touch with its infusion of both design aesthetics and functional elements. It is comprised of a refillable container decorated with a metal alloy and leather stitched by hand. This gives it a premium touch, differentiating itself from the classic plastic deodorants. In terms of its functionality, it incorporates a refilling mechanism allowing users to attach and detach refillable pods. Additionally, these cartridges are recyclable and use 60% less plastic than traditional plastic containers.
To make matters even more convenient, the pods can be delivered right to one's home using a subscription process. The interchangeable pods feature four scent options in total -- each developed by award-winning perfumer Cecile Hua. Notably, all of the formulas are free of sulfate, talc, triclosan, paraben, and phthalate.
