Wild has built a genuine circular model around refillable deodorant, but sustainability claims rest on weak foundations: baseline emissions data only, no reduction targets, heavy reliance on offsets, and unverified renewable energy claims. The April 2025 Unilever acquisition undermines eco positioning—selling to a company with a documented greenwashing record and 18/100 ethical rating.

Wild Cosmetics manufactures refillable aluminium deodorant cases with compostable refills, positioning itself as a plastic-free personal care brand. Founded in 2015, it has scaled rapidly into UK supermarkets (Tesco, Sainsbury's, Target) and international markets. The company is B Corp certified but was acquired by Unilever in April 2025.
