Meet Salt + Steam: Vegan Self-Care, One Scent At A Time
If your self-care routine could use a little more fun (and a lot less fuss), let us introduce you to our newest brand: Salt + Steam. Think playful names, punchy scents and seriously good ingredients - all 100% vegan, cruelty-free and made without any of the nasties like SLS, silicones or parabens.
We've fallen hard for the whole range, so we thought we'd give you the grand tour.
Bath Salts, Three Ways
This is where Salt + Steam started, and it's easy to see why. Every scent - from the cosy Practically Magic to the sweetly dreamy Vanilla & Ylang Ylang - is built on a base of Epsom salt and Dead Sea salt to soothe tired muscles and hydrate skin.
The clever bit is the format: every scent comes as a 432g jar, a 432g compostable refill bag, or an 80g bath shot if you just want to try before you commit. Can't decide? There's even a build-your-own jar and refill set so you can mix and match.
Facial Steams For A DIY Spa Day
If you haven't tried a facial steam before, prepare to be converted. A big scoop of Dead Sea salts and pink Himalayan rock salt, mixed with hot water, opens up your pores ready for the rest of your skincare routine - and it smells incredible while it's doing it. New to steaming? The Steamy Trio gift set is the easiest way to find your favourite.
Scrubs, Masks & Butters
For the rest of you, Salt + Steam has it covered too. The body scrub range pairs exfoliating salts with almond and jojoba oil, in scents ranging from a cheeky French Press coffee scrub to the citrus-fresh Juice, or the zesty Queen for something more floral.
The clay face masks are a mix-your-own powder formula (just add water), so one 45g jar goes a long way - around 10 masks in total. Our pick is the Major Tone, with frankincense and cedarwood. And for softer skin without the greasy after-feel, the solid body butters come in a travel-friendly, leak-proof tube - the Rose Tinted is a lovely place to start.
Haircare That Doesn't Cut Corners
The shampoo and conditioner bars round out the range - plastic-free, long-lasting, and free from SLS, silicones, parabens and alcohol. A brilliant swap if you've been meaning to cut down on bathroom plastic but didn't want to compromise on how your hair actually feels afterwards.
Not Sure Where To Start?
Honestly, we get it - the range is big, and it's hard to pick just one thing. That's exactly why we love the Get Salty gift set: it bundles three of the bestsellers (a facial steam, a body scrub and a set of bath salts) into one, so you can try a bit of everything before deciding what earns a permanent spot on your shelf.
Whichever you go for, you're in for a treat - and so is your skin.
