Your Skincare Questions Answered
Skincare shouldn’t feel complicated. At Simple Body, we believe healthy, radiant skin starts with understanding what your skin truly needs—and using clean, plant-based products that support it naturally. Whether you’re wondering how to layer your products, when to exfoliate, or which ingredients are safe during pregnancy, we’ve gathered our most-asked skincare questions to help guide you toward your best skin yet.
Every product we make is formulated with carefully sourced, high-performance botanicals chosen for their proven efficacy and skin benefits. From hydrating dry skin in Colorado’s dry climate to soothing sensitivity and restoring balance, these answers are designed to simplify your routine and give you confidence in your daily skincare choices.
Simple Body creates clean, plant-based skincare and body products formulated in small batches in Colorado Springs. Every formula is made with high-performing natural ingredients, with no synthetic fragrance, parabens, sulfates, or harsh chemicals. We focus on gentle, effective skincare that supports skin barrier health, especially in dry, high-altitude climates.
Yes. All Simple Body products are made from naturally derived, plant-based ingredients with no synthetic fragrances, no parabens, no phthalates, and no harsh sulfates. Our formulations are rooted in European skincare principles and over 15 years of in-house product development in Colorado.
Most customers with sensitive or reactive skin do very well with Simple Body formulas. We avoid many common irritants and focus on barrier-friendly botanicals. Because every skin is different, we recommend patch testing on a small area first if your skin is extremely sensitive or reactive.
Yes. Simple Body products are cruelty-free. We do not test on animals and we work with suppliers who follow the same standard.
Most Simple Body products are vegan. A few formulas contain beeswax, such as some balms and deodorants. We clearly label products that are not vegan so you can choose what aligns with your preferences.
A simple beginner routine for most skin types includes a gentle foaming face wash, a toner or tonic to rebalance and prep the skin, and a face cream or Beauty Balm to seal in hydration. This gives your skin the basics it needs for hydration, barrier support, and daily balance without a complicated routine.
Toners and tonics help rebalance the skin after cleansing, support the skin microbiome, replenish hydration, and improve the absorption of serums and moisturizers. They are one of the most underrated steps in skincare and can make a visible difference in glow, smoothness, and overall comfort.
Simple Body toners are light, hydrating mists made from floral waters and botanical extracts. Our tonics contain more active plant compounds designed to brighten, gently exfoliate, or support visible signs of aging. Both types help improve skin texture, hydration, and resilience.
For dry or dehydrated skin, customers often love our Foaming Face Wash (Chamomile), Age Defying Tonic, Beauty Balm, Face Cream, and Marine Mineral Toner. These products work together to replenish moisture, soften skin, and support the skin barrier, which is especially important in dry, high-altitude climates like Colorado.
For acne-prone or congested skin, popular choices include Foaming Face Wash (Lavender), Clean Sweep Toner, Exfoliate + Glow Tonic, and Barrier Defense Serum. These products support clearer pores, balanced oil, and calmer, less inflamed skin while still being gentle and barrier-conscious.
Many Simple Body products are suitable during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but because some essential oils may not be recommended in certain situations, we always encourage you to speak with your healthcare provider if you have concerns. We are happy to help you choose gentle, minimal formulas to support your skin during this time.
Most Simple Body skincare products last between 6 and 12 months depending on how often you use them and how much product you apply. We craft in small batches to maintain freshness and potency and recommend storing products away from direct heat and sunlight.
Yes. Simple Body natural deodorant formulas are extremely effective and have been used and tested by thousands of customers over more than 15 years. Our deodorants are trusted by athletes, active professionals, teenagers, women in menopause, and people who have tried many other natural deodorants without success.
Our proprietary deodorant formula combines plant-based ingredients that support odor control and underarm health. We use coconut oil, which has antimicrobial properties; tea tree essential oil, which is naturally antibacterial; and either baking soda or a baking soda–free base to help rebalance the underarm pH. This combination helps control odor effectively while staying aluminum-free and free from synthetic fragrances.
Simple Body offers both a Baking Soda formula and a Baking Soda Free formula. The Baking Soda formula provides maximum odor protection and pH support, while the Baking Soda Free formula is designed for very sensitive underarms and avoids potential irritation from baking soda. Both formulas come in multiple scent options and provide reliable, long-lasting odor control.
