For years, body care has taken a backseat to skincare. Every day, we put loads of products on our faces–cleansers, serums, moisturizers, face oils, masks, plus 18 other super-important steps. When it comes to our bodies, we might do a once-over with some lotion, if not outright neglect it. The skin below your neck needs (and deserves) as much consideration as your face. At least we think so. That’s precisely why, over 27 years ago, we set out on a transformative mission: to create skincare-level body care. What exactly does this mean? Our body care uses the same high-performance ingredients found in your favorite skincare, delivering the same results you’ve come to expect–all over. It’s now easier than ever to achieve smoother, firmer and more supple-looking skin from head to toe. Read on to get started.
Exfoliate Your Body
Exfoliation has the same benefits for the face as for the body: silky-smooth, glowing skin and more even texture. It also preps the skin for anything that follows (think moisturizers and body oils). The skin on your body is thicker than the skin on your face, so it not only can handle stronger exfoliators, but it kind of needs the extra pizzazz to get the job done. Our Salts of the Earth Body Scrub uses mineral salts from around the world (like Himalayan and Red Hawaiian salt) in a base of creamy skincare-level shea butter and nutrient-rich Gigartina seaweed to sweep away dead skin cells and roughness, revealing healthy-looking new skin that glows. It smells incredible (courtesy of the lavender and rosemary), has a velvety texture on skin, and leaves your whole body feeling brand-new.
Moisturize with Clinically Proven Products
Your body needs moisture just as much as your face does. While this is a time-honored truth, it’s easy to skip this step because, well…time, and there’s a whole lot of skin on your body. Moisturizing your body every single day is key to maintaining the skin’s moisture barrier. We formulated our moisturizers with skincare-first ingredients to moisturize (duh) and also deliver some pretty incredible results, like firming, smoothing, and minimizing the look of crepiness. We’ve put our moisturizers to the (clinical) test, so we know they work. Here are our favorites:
Undaria Collagen™ Body Lotion
Born from our best-selling Undaria body collection, our new Undaria Collagen™ Body Lotion is the lightest of all our body moisturizers. Inspired by your skincare routine, it’s clinically proven to immediately increase hydration and visibly firm skin in just four hours. This instant-absorbing lotion keeps skin hydrated all day with zero residue, stickiness, or dry-down time (so you can get dressed faster). The star of the show is vegan collagen, a responsible alternative to traditional collagen. It’s naturally abundant in amino acids and uses plant-based protein fibers that demonstrate equivalence to animal-derived collagen through structural, physical and biochemical properties. Our new body lotion is also infused with high molecular weight hyaluronic acid to drench skin in hydration, Undaria seaweed to replenish the skin’s moisture barrier and peptide and turmeric to firm and brighten the look of skin. This silky lotion leaves skin feeling exceptionally smooth and gorgeously luminous. And the results speak for themselves. In a third-party study, our new body lotion was clinically proven to:*
- Instantly increase skin hydration
- Visibly firm skin in just 4 hours
- Reduce visual dryness by 86% immediately
- Reduce visual roughness by 83% immediately
But wait, there’s more! Immediately after a single application,
- 100% agreed skin felt smoother and softer**
- 100% agreed skin looked brighter and had a healthy sheen**
- 100% agreed skin felt soothed and relieved of dryness**
- 97% agreed it made dryness and dullness disappear**
Complete with an uplifting, yet subtle all-natural grapefruit, lime and cypress scent with notes of mango and mandarin, this lotion is a feast for the senses. Don’t forget to inhale. If you prefer unscented, you’re in luck. The fragrance-free version contains all of the same high-performance ingredients and will make your skin look and feel just as soft, supple and hydrated.

Undaria Algae™ Body Oil
Our best-selling body oil is clinically proven to instantly improve skin elasticity and deliver deep moisturization. It uses Undaria seaweed and a blend of passion fruit, acai, babassu and rice bran oils to deliver silky-soft, impossibly glowing skin. Even the most devoted of body lotion lovers will fall for our nongreasy, fast-absorbing oil. We promise it passes the get-dressed test with no waiting period. So you can slip right into your jeans or crawl into your freshly made bed right after application.
Anti-Aging Body Balm
If your skin is extra dry, consider our intensely moisturizing lotion-and-oil hybrid the magic fix. This silky, youth-restoring elixir sinks right in, transforming dry skin to supple and radiant. In fact, in a third-party study, 81% of participants agreed that skin felt tighter, lifted and more toned after just four weeks.* Coconut oil, passion fruit, Alaria seaweed, omega fatty acids, minerals and antioxidants are all packed into one softening and smoothing liquid balm. Inhale a bit of the addictive jasmine-and-geranium scent and you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it.
