A top pick for us is the Australian based brand In The Buff. They’re an eco-friendly independent company who produce vegan and cruelty free products. One product of theirs that stands out the most for us is their Magnesium bath salts that has no added nasties, making it perfect for you gorgeous gorgeous girls with sensitive skin.
