In keeping with all things solid, we have made a world class body lotion in a divine buttery block. Cocoa butter alongside lecithin, babassu and coconut oils & pure essential oils create a bar that is easy to use, supremely hydrating and fabulous for heels, elbows or anywhere else needing a little TLC.

All our butter blocks are made with essential oils and butters, no synthetic fragrances. We use organic cocoa butter from a farming cooperative in the Dominican Republic, organic coconut oil from our cooperative in Samoa and delicious essential oils.

Best used straight after a shower on damp skin. Equivalent to almost 500ml of liquid lotion. This product may soften in transit over the summer months. If so, please pop in the fridge for 2-3 hours upon arrival for it to harden up.
Equivalent to 2 bottles of lotion (250ml bottle)
No liquid - so can be taken on the plane to hydrate dry skin
100% vegan, cruelty free and palm free.

Ethique (pronounced Eh-tique) is the French word for ‘ethical’ and we believe it is the first beauty company in the world to develop an entirely solid product range. All products are sold in compostable packaging, meaning zero consumer waste.
Ethique’s dedication to sustainable beauty practices has prevented the manufacture and disposal of more than 150,000 plastic containers worldwide, and is driven by the hashtag #giveupthebottle.

From Brianne (Ethique founder):

Our Bars Really Work:
Our customers tell us the same thing again and again. You rave about how well our products work, far surpassing the quality of salon brands. Brianne explains that the reason for this is because the bars are super concentrated and made with potent natural ingredients. Our bars contain no nasties, they are cruelty free and vegan.

Saving You Money:
Solid bars last between three to six times longer (depending on the product) than bottled products because they’re super-concentrated. You add the water not us, and yes our solid beauty bars foam.

Sustainable:
We use biodegradable ingredients and wrappers so our solid bars leave no trace on the planet. You can pop the compostable wrapping in your compost bin. No bottles, jars, lids or pump dispensers contributing to landfill or oceanic pollution.

We are certified climate neutral, cruelty free and a living wage employer.
