We are two friends living on opposite coasts (Brooklyn, New York and Santa Monica, California) that share a passion for living a minimal, zero waste lifestyle and on a mission to help others do the same.

OK Buy. Meliora’s Bath and Body Soap is a great addition to the shower routine. The bars smell light and lovely and leave skin feeling soft, not dry. On top of that, they are Leaping Bunny Certified and contain good ingredients. Overall, the soap was not the cheapest in the sample, but the Meliora bars were cheaper than any liquid body wash. Plus, the bars ship in either recyclable paper boxes or package free in a paper envelope.
: ITS A BUY (if you highly prefer liquid body soap over bar soaps). We love Blueland’s commitment to zero plastic and it stays consistent with their Body Wash— no plastic in packaging, no PVAs in the formula, no harmful ingredients. We also loved the scent and experience — the powder, when combined with water, becomes a creamy consistency, which was a lovely surprise. We like the scent and the ‘forever’ bottle that comes with the first purchase that we can reuse over and over again. Of course, the powder format also reduces carbon footprint from shipping — liquid is just so much heavier.
It’s ok. Puracy Natural Baby Shampoo and Body Wash is a decent refill option. The scent is derived from essential oil and very light. As a body wash, it works ok and the ingredients do not contain sulfates, parabens, or SLS. However, it’s a little knotty-feeling as an adult shampoo. Price wise it is on the expensive side but another pro is the reduction in plastic with the refill bag.
No. We just cannot. While we think it’s a clever option for traveling, and the technology of the dissolvable sachet is super cool, Plus Body Wash is a no for us. The product requires using dry (!) hands to open up the sachet as well as a high price point. Leaping Bunny certified, paraben-free, phthalate-free, and sulfate-free, this zero-waste body, very eco-conscious wash also has a nice scent. Maybe it’s a good travel option?
Verdict: Maybe. If you want to subscribe to the brand/really like byHumankind, then the Blood Orange Bergamot Body Wash bar is a good option. Overall, we like the byHumankind’s mission of reducing plastic waste and limiting ingredients. Unfortunately, at $15 per bar, this is the most expensive body wash bar we’ve reviewed thus far — but even then, byHumankind is cheaper than the cheapest liquid body wash when you calculate it on an annual basis.
Sadly, we are a no on byHumankind’s Shower Routine. Given that we are iffy on 2/3, we are a no on the whole kit.
