Hand & Body Wash | Lather + Hydrate + Vanilla Sea Salt & Bourbon

How often should I use the scrub?

Once or twice a week is the sweet spot for most skin types. Massage Body Scrub in Vanilla Sea Salt & Sugar onto damp skin in circular motions, focusing on elbows, knees, and any keratosis pilaris-prone areas. Rinse and follow with Body Butter in Vanilla Bourbon to seal in moisture. Skip exfoliation on freshly shaved or irritated skin.

Is the body butter safe for sensitive skin and eczema-prone areas?

Yes, our Body Butter is formulated with ceramides to strengthen the skin barrier and rich moisturizing agents that soothe sensitive skin and eczema-prone areas. The Vanilla Bourbon scent is warm and grounding without being overpowering. For very reactive skin, patch-test on the inside of your wrist for 24 hours before applying to larger areas.

Are Bodyography bodycare products vegan and cruelty-free?

Yes, all BodyographySPA products are vegan, cruelty-free, gluten-free, and paraben-free — including our Body Butter, Body Scrub, Bath & Body Oil, Hand & Body Wash, and Shampoo & Conditioner. Clean formulation across every SKU in the line, no exceptions.

Can I use these products during pregnancy?

We recommend consulting with your OB-GYN or a dermatologist about any skincare or bodycare product you plan to use during pregnancy. Our BodyographySPA line is formulated with skin-safe, paraben-free ingredients, but individual pregnancy considerations are best assessed with your medical provider — especially if you're using multiple products or have specific concerns.

What scent profile should I expect?

Our BodyographySPA line has two scent stories. The Vanilla Bourbon family (Body Butter, Body Scrub, Bath & Body Oil, Hand & Body Wash, Scented Candle) is warm, sweet, and indulgent — designed to feel like a spa ritual at home. Shampoo & Conditioner are scented in Lavender Peppermint — cooling, aromatic, and grounding. Scent-forward without being overpowering.

Is Bodyography cruelty-free and vegan?

Yes — Bodyography is 100% cruelty-free and has been for over 27 years. The majority of our products are also vegan; a few contain beeswax or other animal-derived ingredients (all cruelty-free). Check individual product pages for confirmed vegan status. Cruelty-free is a non-negotiable across the brand. Certified by PETA and LEAPING BUNNY.

Where is Bodyography made, and are ingredients ethically sourced?

Bodyography is a family-owned professional cosmetics brand, headquartered in California and manufactured primarily in the United States, along with partners in S. Korea, France, Spain, Taiwan, China and Italy. We source ingredients responsibly and formulate to our own clean-beauty standards rather than to a universal checklist. What we include is just as intentional as what we leave out.

What's Bodyography's return policy on opened makeup?

We offer returns on unused products within 30 days of purchase. Because of hygiene standards, we generally cannot accept returns on opened cosmetics unless the product is defective. If your product arrived damaged or you have a formulation concern, please reach out to our customer service team — we take every message seriously and want to make it right.

How can I get a free professional shade match?

We offer free shade matching for foundation, concealer, tinted moisturizer, and more. Email us with a clear, natural-light photo of your face and neck (no makeup, no filter), and one of our team members — many of whom are working makeup artists — will match you personally. It's one of the most-used services we offer.
