Everything you need for face, body and hair can be packed into one cute bag.
Do-it-all body bars sometimes lack the luxe feel. Rituals Body Bar is soap free and there is no plastic packaging. Not only will it keep hair and body clean but the shower will be filled with a glorious soft scent. Suitable for all skin types including sensitive.
