Vegan bath and body things

26 replies

Hi all,

Can anyone recommend any vegan bath and body soaps, gels, lotions etc?

It’s my nieces birthday in a few weeks, she’s just recovering from COVid having just started uni in September 300 miles away - so she’s not had a brilliant few months.

I won’t buy from Lush since the police advert they ran and I won’t buy from Body Shop because of the mlm model and the JK Rowling thing (I don’t want a trans discussion, I just thought the whole Body Shop bandwagoning on that was an incredibly distasteful marketing decision)

I wanted to get her some lovely bath things to pamper with - no idea where to start though when I’ve excluded the two above.

Any ideas would be great! I’m hoping someone can recommend some good independent suppliers or hidden gems.

Treacle moon from Tesco, not luxury but it is vegan.

I like Faith in Nature - you can get them from Holland & Barrett.

RandomMess · 25/10/2020 14:22

Tropics is but it's MLM based I think Confused

I will look at treacle moon thank you!

Faith in Nature I’d seen in the Oxfam shops and comepletely forgot about, thanks for reminding me.

I think Tropic is MLM which is a shame as they used to have the loveliest tinted moisturiser.

Superdrug own brand is vegan. Sanctuary Spa too. Floral Street do body wash/body lotion, perfume too. REN is good.
Check Holland and Barrett's website - they have an offer on and you can filter for vegan stuff.

The vegan soap company, amazing small bath bombs.

Lovelula has a whole vegan section on their site.

Have a look on Etsy! :) I have found some lovely things on there :)

Bloomtown! I got my daughter a gift set from them and she was thrilled with the products. It's online and you can choose what wrapping paper and card they use. DD said it was beautifully presented.

Err, didn’t some of you read the OP? She specifically said that she didn’t want to use Body Shop!!

RedIsWhereItsAt · 25/10/2020 20:33

Actually check the supermarkets own brands. I know Sainsbury’s do some really lovely vegan soaps, I buy a few at Christmas.

And there’s that lovely Italian soap company, does anyone remember the name?

RedIsWhereItsAt · 25/10/2020 20:34

Nesti Dante soap

SpeckledyHen · 25/10/2020 20:37

Waitrose own brand shower and bath range.

Skyliner001 · 26/10/2020 14:29

Just been looking at body shop online and they have some fab Xmas stuff 💚

Neal’s Yard - from their ‘about us’ page:
All of our products are vegetarian and many are also suitable for vegans (see our individual product pages or contact Customer Services for details of our vegan products) and we only use sustainably sourced, organic honey, beeswax and propolis.

PurpleDaisies · 26/10/2020 14:48

Happy naturals from Sainsbury’s is really nice. I use a their shower gel and bubble bath.

Try Willow Beauty Products. They do vegan soaps and everything is organic and paraben free too. Lovely products.
