Organic bath time

A warm bath, plenty of bubbles, scented candles and a magazine: the perfect recipe for relaxation and recuperation after a busy and tiring week of work. We all love to indulge in luxurious bath or shower time routines, but many of us, unknowingly, use products that can be damaging for our skin. Many leading bath soaps, oils and gels contain harmful chemicals such as SLS, parabens, synthetic colour and fragrances and even petroleum derivatives that can be damaging to skin and other areas of your health (parabens in particular have been casually linked to breast cancers). More than ever, men and women are turning to products that forsake chemical nasties for natural based ingredients that make the use of organic sources and plant extracts. Not only can these look after your body but they are also less damaging to the environment to produce in the first place. So, which products for bath and shower do we think you should be investing in?

Bubble Bath – Organic Surge

One of the first things you think of when it comes to a warm, relaxing bath is ensuring you have plenty of bubbles. For a fresh, organic bubble bath formula, we would recommend using Lavender Meadow Bubble Bath from Organic Surge. Organic Surge is a beauty company that is a true labour of love: set up with the help of charitable donations, they are committed to making and selling products that use 100% natural ingredients and that are never tested on animals. Their bubble bath contains essential lavender and geranium oils that produce a gorgeous, relaxing aroma and help to uplift and smooth skin thanks to the natural presence of the antioxidant vitamin E. The formula also helps to nourish and moisturise skin because it contains glycerine, a well-known skin conditioner. Once done, you’ll be warm and refreshed, safe in the knowledge that only the most natural ingredients have been used on your skin.

Soap – Simply Soaps

Simply Soaps is an amazing sustainability-led beauty company that has been around since 1997, providing 100% natural products. A member of the Round Table for Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), even their packaging is fully compostable and biodegradable having been made from eucalyptus leaves! Their range of soaps are made using the ‘cold process’ method and have a high oil content that leaves skin moist and nourished instead of dry and washed out. We love their Handmade Minty Morning Zing soap which offers a reinvigorating mixture of spearmint, basil and patchouli to make your skin more lively and fresh. Whenever you use this soup, be it in the morning or after a long day, you will be able to physically feel your skin being zapped back to life, instead of containing damaging sulphates amongst other chemical nasties.

Shower gel – Organii

Officially endorsed and certified by Ecocert, thanks to their ethical production and environmentally conscious packaging, Organii offer brilliant organic products that take care of your skin and are suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Organii avoid using artificial colourants and ingredients and look predominantly to botanical extracts from plants and herbs. Our pick of the collection is their Shea Butter shower gel. Shea butter is renowned for possessing unique moisturizing qualities, making it a go-to for people with dry and irritated skin. This shower gel is light enough for daily use but will still leave your skin feeling luxuriously silky soft and smelling delicate and natural.
