At Bathing Culture, we’re committed to making the highest quality products without harming you or the planet.
We believe the environmental crisis has reached a critical tipping point, too many everyday personal products are complacent in contributing to harming personal and environmental health.
We're proud to give you safe, high quality options.

#NoNewPlastic
Reincarnated bottles
The bottles we use are made from 100% pre-existing recycled material, collected and reprocessed in the state of California. This means #nonewplastic AND it stops existing plastic from ending up in the landfill or ocean.
Refills
We hold refill events 12 times a year and have partnered with 15 retailers around the country who will refill your bottles.
Silk screening
We’re shifting all of our labels to silkscreening.
Stakeholder accountability
We’ve refused to work with groups that don’t put planet before profit. We’ve been able to convince Urban Outfitters among others to begin accepting environmentally friendly packaging.
We are on pace to use #nonewplastic before the end of 2020.
Plastic free shipping containers.
Environmental Activism
Ultimately, the future we all want is to leave the world better than we found it; healthy and safe with opportunity for our families and communities. That’s something every healthy person, no matter their country or politics, can agree on. We are not against agitating to ensure this happens.
