Love Beauty and Planet hair and skincare review

I’ll be the first to admit my haircare routine is as basic as it gets. I normally use a purple toning shampoo daily, and then occasionally throw some conditioner on my hair if I plan on blow-drying and straightening it. Otherwise, I do the bare minimum.

As a beauty novice, I’d never even heard of a shampoo and conditioner bar until Love Beauty and Planet sent its Coconut Water Shampoo + Conditioner Bar to our office. I was skeptical going into it — I didn’t think a bar of soap would be able to get the lather and creaminess I was used to with a traditional shampoo.

I’ve been slowly but surely switching to a toxin-free beauty routine, so I was impressed with Love Beauty and Planet’s ingredient lists. I’m also super low-maintenance when it comes to my hair, so I wanted to see if the Sulfate-Free Murumuru Butter & Rose Shampoo and Conditioner set could freshen, hydrate and smooth my hair so I could wash and go.

The shampoo was great, and I especially liked the conditioner — it didn’t weigh down my thick hair, and it left my locks with a shiny finish.

I’m not much of a “lotion person” because a lot of products have left my skin feeling a bit greasy, and I’m pretty particular about scents I like. I was excited to try Love Beauty and Planet lotions, however, because of the company’s commitment to the environment and their ethically-sourced ingredients. Buying sustainable products is the least I can do as a consumer to help our planet.

First, I tried Love Beauty and Planet body lotion and lathered up my arms and legs. I was pleasantly surprised to find the lotion absorbed quite nicely, and it left my skin feeling soft and refreshed.
