Plant-Based Bath and Body: A Beginner's Guide
More people are looking for plant-based products these days. If you're new to it, here's a simple guide to getting started.
What Does Plant-Based Mean?
Plant-based products are made mostly from plants: plant butters, plant oils and plant milks. Products labeled vegan go a step further and have no animal ingredients at all.
Plant Ingredients We Love
- Shea butter: in every bar of soap we make.
- Coconut milk: in every bar, for a creamy lather.
- Mango butter: in our body butter and conditioner bar.
- Cocoa butter: in our bath truffles.
- Aloe vera: cool and soothing.
- Sea moss and sea kelp: from the ocean, full of minerals.
Easy Swaps to Start
- Soap: try a shea butter bar like Pink Peony.
- Moisturizer: try our Soothing Aloe Hand & Body Butter.
- Bath: try our Cocoa Butter & Coconut Milk Bath Truffle.
- Scrub: try our POLISH Sugar Scrub.
How to Check
- Read the ingredient list.
- Look for "vegan" on the product page.
- Ask the maker if you're not sure. We're always happy to help.
Our Tip
Plant-based doesn't always mean gentler. Plant oils and extracts can still bother some people, so test new products on a small spot first.
