If you’re on a quest to cut down waste and look after our planet with eco-friendly skincare - start with what you use in the shower. Editor Trudi Brewer shares a brilliant beauty buy from one of the bestselling UK brands, Faith in Nature.
Our faves from the Faith in Nature Body Wash range, $15.
Before we get into sharing our favourite body wash, it’s worth knowing this. There is a huge difference between a classic bar of soap, and natural body wash. First up, budget soap bars may be good if you want a quick lather and rinse, but they terrible for stripping the skin of its natural oils, leaving it dehydrated and irritated, not to mention leaving white streaks on the glass in your shower - thanks to the caustic in the formula. Faith in Nature Body Wash is the most gentle on the skin because it’s packed with nourishing organic oils and no nasties.
We get excited when we find a skincare brand that works and is kind to our planet. For a quick recap, the Faith in Nature brand launched back in 1974, with one clear objective: harnessing the power of Mother Nature without harming it in the process. Fast forward to today and this is brand is a global phenomenon. Made using the highest quality, naturally derived, cruelty-free ingredients, with 100 per cent natural fragrance - these refreshing and cleansing body washes (there are four in the range) contain natural antiseptic tea tree oil, and citrus oils for an extra fresh burst to wake up the skin first thing. They're vegan and super important to the team here at BeautyEQ; this band is cruelty-free with no parabens and sodium lauryl sulphates.
