Upcycled ingredients

Elderberry Shower Oil

Coffee oil from upcycled coffee grounds from Amsterdam by Caffe Inc

The apricot kernel oil, strawberry oil and elderberry oil also come from residual streams of the food industry.

Olive Body Bar

The cranberry and pomegranate seeds come from residual streams of juice and jam production.

How to use

Elderberry Shower Oil

Step 1: take 1 pump of shower oil and rub it over wet skin or onto a loofah sponge.

Step 2: massage into the skin. The oil turns into a milky substance

Step 3: rinse off

Olive Body Bar

Wet the bar and rub it between your hands or directly over your skin to create a soft lather. Massage the lather over your body or hands and rinse off with water.

Let the bar dry well after use, preferably on a dry soap dish, so it lasts longer.

Loofah Scrub Sponge

1. Soak the sponge thoroughly the first time.

2. Take 1 pump of Elderberry Shower Oil and apply it to wet skin or the sponge.

3. Gently massage and scrub the skin with the sponge in circular motions.

4. Rinse the sponge well after use and hang it up to dry.

You can use the sponge for your body. We advise against using it on your face.

Tips for caring for the loofah sponge:

  • Rinse well after each use to remove soap and dirt residue.
  • Let it dry well in an airy place to prevent mould.

Replace regularly for optimal hygiene and performance. About every 4 to 6 weeks with daily use and every 3-12 months if you use the sponge less.

Scent

The scent of the Elderberry Shower Oil is spicy and fresh.

The shower oil smells like that fresh scent of rain on dry ground, also called petrichor. It arises when raindrops hit the earth and scents from plants and the soil are released. The name comes from Greek: petra means stone and ichor is a kind of magical, golden fluid.

The Olive Body Bar is fresh and spicy with the well-known olive undertone. Natural and a little bit quirky.

Frequently asked questions about the Body care package

Who is the Bodycare Set suitable for?

The set is for all genders and ages, but especially for dry or sensitive skin. The three products cleanse without sulphates and without synthetic fragrance, so your skin doesn't feel tight after showering. Also nice if you simply want to get rid of a row of half-empty bottles in the shower: this is all you need.

How do I use the three products together?

Use the Elderberry Shower Oil in the shower as a daily cleanser for your whole body. Alternate it with the Olive Body Bar, or use it as hand soap in your bathroom. With the loofah you gently scrub once or twice a week, so dead skin cells come off and your skin stays supple.

What is the difference between the shower oil and the body bar?

The Shower Oil cleanses with an oil base and is the gentlest, ideal as a daily wash for sensitive skin. The Body Bar is a solid, mild soap: slightly firmer in cleansing and handy because it comes without plastic packaging. In the set they complement each other, so you don't have to choose.

Is the Bodycare Set vegan?

Yes. The three products are 100% of natural origin and vegan, and the loofah is a dried plant, not a sea sponge of animal origin. The formulas are free of added microplastics and synthetic fragrance; the scent comes from less than 1% essential oil.

Can I have the set sent directly as a gift?

Yes. When ordering, tick "send as a gift" and the package goes directly to the recipient. Ordered on weekdays before 16:30, it usually arrives the next day (PostNL). Not sure if this is the right gift? The digital gift card is the alternative, letting the recipient choose for themselves.

What is in the Bodycare Set?

Three products that together make up your shower routine. The Elderberry Shower Oil cleanses with an oil base, so your skin is clean without the washing drying it out. The Olive Body Bar is a mild soap with organic oils for the spots that need a bit more cleansing. And the Veggie Sponge, a 100% natural loofah grown from a plant, completes the routine with a gentle scrub that keeps the skin supple.

Why this routine is gentle on sensitive skin

A lot of body care runs on foaming sulfates (SLS) and perfume, exactly the ingredients that dry or sensitive skin reacts to with tightness and itching. This set leaves them all out. The cleansing comes from plant oils and mild soap, and the scent comes from less than 1% essential oil instead of synthetic fragrance. That way your skin keeps its natural protective layer after showering, the same skinimalism idea as in the face line from Food for Skin.

Also as a gift

The Bodycare Set is a gift you can hardly go wrong with: no colour or scent that just doesn't fit, but a complete routine that almost every skin tolerates. Tick "send as a gift" when ordering and we send the package directly to the recipient. Want to add something personal? Add a postcard or combine it with the Sheltersuit toiletry bag.
