Natural Body Care Products for Every Skin Type
Are your shins dry, your back a bit spotty and the rest of you looking dull by the end of winter? Most of us have more than one thing going on below the neck, and a shelf of half-used body care bottles doesn't help. We keep our bodycare simple: three ranges, each with a body wash, a body scrub and a body lotion, plus two soap bars. Pick the range that matches what bothers you most, or mix them for different parts of your body. Everything here is vegan, and our washes, scrubs and lotions are dermatologically tested and made in the UK.
Which Body Care Range Suits Your Skin?
| Your skin | Range | What's in it |
|---|---|---|
| Looks dull, tired or uneven | Turmeric (Brightening) | Our brightening range for dull skin, with turmeric, Vitamin C, papaya, and a citrus fragrance: wash, scrub, lotion, and the handmade Turmeric & Clove Scrub Soap. For dark patches on knees, elbows or underarms, see our range for pigmentation. |
| Feels dry, rough or tight | Sandalwood (Hydrating) | A wash, scrub and lotion with jojoba, babassu oil and glycerin, and a sandalwood and amber fragrance. See our picks for dry skin and dehydrated skin. |
| Feels oily or gets the odd spot | Neem (Invigorating) | Body care with a wild mint and eucalyptus aroma: a wash, scrub, lotion and our handmade Neem bar, with neem and tea tree. See our range for blemish-prone skin, or for bacne if it's mostly your back. |
Why Choose Our Vegan Body Care?
- One plant at the heart of each range. Turmeric, sandalwood and neem have been part of Ayurvedic skin rituals for centuries. Our ayurvedic body care builds each range around one of them, then adds oils such as argan, jojoba and babassu.
- Chosen by fragrance as well as skin. Each range has its own scent: citrus for Turmeric, sandalwood and amber for Sandalwood, and wild mint and eucalyptus for Neem. Pick the one you'll look forward to in the morning.
- PETA certified. Every Ayumi product is vegan and PETA certified, so this is cruelty free body care you don't have to double-check.
- Tested and made in the UK. Our washes, scrubs and lotions are dermatologically tested and made in the UK. None of our products contains mineral oil.
- A family business. We've been a UK family business for over 40 years, and the same family still runs it.
Your Bath and Body Routine, Step by Step
Start with a wash and a lotion from one range. Give your skin a week or two to get used to them, then add the scrub.
| Step | How often | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Wash | Every shower | Our natural body wash goes onto damp skin in circles and rinses off with warm water. It leaves skin feeling clean without feeling tight. |
| 2. Scrub | Twice a week (Neem: once or twice) | Our exfoliating body scrub buffs away dry, dull-looking skin on damp skin. Skip broken, sore, sunburnt or freshly shaved or waxed skin. |
| 3. Moisturise | Every day, after the shower | Apply our natural body lotion onto clean, slightly damp skin, with a little extra on elbows, knees and heels. |
| Or: a bar | Every wash, in place of the wash | Prefer a bar? Our turmeric soap and neem soap do the same job as step 1. Follow with lotion. |
What's Inside Our Natural Bath and Body Range
| Ingredient | What it does | Where you'll find it |
|---|---|---|
| Turmeric | The golden spice of Ayurvedic skin rituals. Helps skin look brighter and fresher. | Turmeric wash, scrub, lotion and soap |
| Vitamin C (sodium ascorbyl phosphate) | A stable form of Vitamin C that helps skin look brighter. | Turmeric wash, scrub and lotion |
| Sandalwood, ylang-ylang and lavender | Essential oils behind the Sandalwood range's fragrance. | Sandalwood wash, scrub and lotion |
| Jojoba and babassu oil | Light plant oils that help dry skin feel softer. | Sandalwood range; babassu also in the Turmeric lotion |
| Shea and cocoa butter | Rich butters that leave skin feeling soft and comfortable. | Turmeric lotion |
| Neem | Ayurveda's go-to plant for skin that breaks out easily. Helps skin feel clean. | Neem wash, scrub, lotion and soap |
| Tea tree | A fresh essential oil that helps skin feel clean after the gym. | Neem range |
| Pumice and olive seed powder | The exfoliating grains in our scrubs. | All three body scrubs |
How Do You Build a Simple Bodycare Routine?
- Start with two steps. A wash and a lotion from one range. Add the scrub once you know how your skin's getting on.
- Turn the water down. Long, hot showers leave skin drier, no matter what you wash with.
- Moisturise while you're still damp. Lotion spreads further and feels better on skin that's just been towelled.
- Mix ranges by body part. Nothing says you need one range for everything: a Neem wash on your back and Sandalwood lotion on dry shins is fine.
- Patch test anything new. Our products contain fragrance or essential oils. Our Turmeric lotion contains sweet almond oil and our Turmeric & Clove soap contains walnut shell, so skip both if you have a nut allergy.
That's our full range of bath and body products: three ranges, two soaps and six sets, all vegan and made by a UK family business. For your hair, see our natural shampoo.
