In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it is necessary to carve out moments of relaxation and self-care. And per ushge, vegan, cruelty-free and earth-friendly bath and body treats always have my heart. I have recently met Little Moon Essentials, and it was a pleasant discovery. They offer mineral baths, sugar scrubs, body butters, essential oil blends, salves and more, all made with high-quality, natural ingredients. (Note, the only non-vegan items are their lip balms that contain beeswax.) Most of their items are available in different sizes, which I think is great, especially if you just want to try something. They have also partnered with rePurpose Global to help mitigate plastic from our shores… and that makes my heart smile.
Okay, before I get into the products I tried, I just want to say that my nose and body were happy with these beautiful scents and formulas, no joke! I only use natural, vegan beauty products, so my nose is used to ALL kinds of beautiful, earthy, divine scents, but these are all some of the best! Come on, scratch n’ sniff tech, it’s 2023 (almost ’24), WE’RE READY!
The goods:
Letting Go Mineral Bath:
This wonderful blend has cleansing, detoxifying and soothing properties for muscles and skin. This would make a tasty treat after a long run or hard workout. Also, if you’re dealing with dry itchy skin, this will bring you some much needed relief – This should be a winter must have! It has a lovely autumnal, slightly spicy peppermint scent, and it feels so good to inhale.
Components: Epsom Salt, American Rock Salt, Sea Salt, Organic Ginger Powder, Lavender Oil, Peppermint Oil, Nutmeg Oil
Sleep Comes Easy Mineral Bath:
For those nights when sleep seems elusive, Sleep Comes Easy Mineral Bath is a dream come true. The calming properties of essential oils such as lavender, chamomile and bergamot create a peaceful atmosphere that prepares your mind and body for a restful night. It feels like a gentle goodnight hug lulling you into a peaceful sleep. I love the glass packaging and of course the adorable branding. These are definitely gift worthy!
Components: Epsom Salt, American Rock Salt, Sea Salt, Lavender Oil, Frankincense Oil, Lemon Oil, Bergamot Oil, Palmarosa Oil, Vetiver Oil, Coriander Oil, Roman Chamomile
Peaceful Forest Lotion:
This legit lotion smells like you’re bathing in the woods in the Pacific Northwest. Infused with refreshing aromas of fir, cypress and fir, this lotion not only hydrates your skin but also transports you to a peaceful retreat in the woods. The lightweight formula absorbs quickly, leaving your skin soft and nourished, with a renewed sense of calm. I need to order the body butter version of this STAT!
Components: Water, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Karthika Seed Oil, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Glycerin, Cetyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Citrate Stearate, Spruce Oil, Cetearyl Olive Oil, Sorbitan Olive Oil, Cypress Oil, Spruce Oil, Rosemary Oil, Caramel Oil Panthene Oil whole, tocopheryl acetate, xanthan gum, lactic acid, benzyl alcohol, potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate
Winter Spice Body Butter:
As obsessed as I am with this brand, THIS body butter takes the cake! The rich, creamy texture feels luxurious on the skin and the comforting scent of festive spices, cocoa and sweetness makes it the perfect companion for warm winter nights. I’ll pour this magical deliciousness into every inch of mah bod everyday until it’s gone, 100%. LOOOOOOVE.
Components: Organic Shea Butter, Jojoba Oil, Fair Trade Organic Coconut Oil, Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter, Vegetable Glycerin, Cetearyl Alcohol, Arrowroot Powder, Mulling Spice Flavor, Vanilla Flavor, Mica, Cinnamon Oil
Sleep Comes Easy Body Butter:
This obv pairs nicely with the Sleep Comes Easy bath mentioned earlier. 🙂 This velvety and thick body butter, with the same scent profile as the mineral bath, legit helps signal your body to relax. I often like to use lavender oil straight before bed (either using a pillow mist or EO roller ball), but this particular blend before bed is super dreamy. The chamomile really punches through this, giving it a gentle sweetness. I also want to mention that with these body butters, a little goes a long way, which makes this a steal for $20!
Little Moon Essentials has truly mastered the art of blending natural ingredients to create products that elevate your self-care routine. I can’t wait to smell like a Winter Spice Girl for the rest of this festive season and I’ll definitely be treating myself to some of their other goodies in the near future…Tired Old Ass Body Butter is a – I’m calling my name, haha!
