SUSTAINABLE RESOURCES

The Sculpt & Glow Bar is made from twelve organic ingredients, is water-free, vegan, and refillable, and is both skin and environmentally friendly.

Ingredients

We strive to be completely transparent about where our ingredients are made and harvested and will search for answers when we don't have them. Our raw argan oil, for example, is sourced from a women’s cooperative that works within a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, ensuring the protection and reforestation of argan trees as well as supporting the social and economic welfare of the women involved.
