Ingredients Standards

Every ingredient that goes into a Simple Body product is chosen with intention. As a small maker, we take the time to source raw, unrefined, and responsibly harvested ingredients that stay as close to their natural state as possible. Each one is researched for its proven efficacy — not just what’s trending — so that every oil, butter, extract, and active has a purpose. We study the science behind how plant compounds interact with skin, how they protect and repair the barrier, and how they perform in real-world use.

Our formulas are rooted in nature and guided by evidence. We use plant-based, natural, and naturally derived ingredients because they offer powerful benefits without unnecessary synthetics. From the antioxidant-rich oils that restore elasticity to the floral waters that gently tone and hydrate, every ingredient is chosen to deliver visible results and long-term skin health. Below are a few of the key botanicals and actives we trust most — the building blocks of our clean, effective skincare formulas.
