Investing in quality body care & why we should all try to shop small

In a world where the supermarket shelves are lined with an array of body washes and skincare products, promising everything from invigorating scents to deep hydration, it's crucial to distinguish between quality and quantity. Today, let's dive into the significant differences that set apart PLOUF from the cheaper alternatives on the market.

SLS and Paraben-Free Formula: Many inexpensive body washes on the market are loaded with Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), parabens and a load of other terribly irritating ingredients for the skin. These harsh chemicals can strip the skin of its natural oils, leading to dryness, irritation, and even allergic reactions. Plouf body washes are formulated without SLS and parabens, ensuring a gentle yet effective cleanse that nurtures the skin rather than assaulting it.

Environmentally Conscious Packaging: Consider the environmental impact of the packaging. Cheaper body washes often come in plastic bottles that contribute to pollution and environmental degradation. Our commitment to sustainability is reflected in our eco-friendly packaging choices, we choose to use sugarcane packaging to reduce our impact. While it's still not the perfect choice and we are aware that there is still more to do, it's a start. 

Cruelty-Free and Ethical Practices: Supporting ethical practices is paramount. Our body washes are vegan & cruelty-free, ensuring that no animals are harmed in the production process. By choosing premium products, you are making a conscious decision to promote responsible and compassionate beauty practices.

Crafted in Small Batches for Superior Quality: Unlike mass-produced beauty products, our premium products are carefully crafted in small batches. This approach allows for meticulous attention to detail, ensuring each bottle meets the highest quality standards. Small batch manufacturing not only guarantees a fresher and more potent product but also allows for a level of precision and care that larger companies often struggle to achieve.

Personalised Touch: Choosing to shop small is more than a transaction; it's an investment in a personalised experience. Small businesses prioritise service, ensuring each customer feels seen and valued. When you support a small brand, you're not just purchasing a product; you're embracing a labor of love. Behind every product lies a story of dedication!


Long-Lasting Fragrance: One noticeable difference between our body washes and their supermarket counterparts is the enduring fragrance. While cheaper alternatives may offer a burst of scent initially, it often fades quickly. Our body washes are designed to provide a lasting, subtle aroma that lingers on your skin, creating a luxurious and indulgent bathing experience.

Investing in a high-quality skincare is not just a matter of pampering yourself; it's a decision to prioritise your skin's health and overall well-being. The stark differences in ingredients, sustainability, and ethical practices highlight the importance of choosing products that align with your values.
