Alternative by Suma Patchouli and Sandalwood Body Wash*

We love the warm, earthy scent of this body wash. It's made using 100% natural ingredients, including pure essential oils, and is free from palm oil, parabens and SLS. Great to add to bathwater too – it produces lots of fragrant bubbles, and leaves skin lightly scented. Suma is the largest equal-pay worker cooperative in Europe – all employees get paid the same wage, take responsibility and do a range of jobs each week from warehouse work, to truck driving, to accounts. This body wash is packaged in recycled and recyclable plastic, and is available in large 5l and huge 20l containers. Other fragrances include rose and geranium and tea tree and aloe vera – there's also an unscented version, which is ideal for sensitive skin.

Aery Living Positive Energy Bath Salts

This mineral-rich bath soak is made in the UK using sustainable Epsom and Himalayan salts. With an uplifting blend of pink grapefruit, vetiver and mint, it smells lovely – and the salts soften the water, leaving skin smooth and nourished. Bathing in Epsom salts (which are rich in magnesium) is a good way to soothe aching muscles – and can also improve circulation, promote a good night's sleep, and relieve stress and anxiety. An ideal weekend pick-me-up after a busy week. Each large recyclable glass jar contains 250g of bath salts – enough for at least five restorative soaks – and cost-effective, recyclable refill pouches are available. Aery works with Ecologi, an organisation planting millions of mangrove trees and supporting communities in Madagascar. Every online order plants another tree – and 64,000 have been planted through Aery online sales so far.

Fill Bath Soak

Fill offers a range of refillable products, from household cleaners to shampoo. This forest-scented bath soak can be bought in a cost-effective, 5l pack – enough to fill the 500ml amber glass bottle 10 times, so replacing the need for 10 new single-use plastic bottles. The bag-in-box pack consists of a refillable liner – Fill washes and reuses these again and again when they're returned by customers – inside a sturdy, recyclable cardboard box. The bath foam smells wonderful, thanks to the relaxing blend of howood, fir needle and juniper berry essential oils. It's easy to return liners to Fill – the bag-in-box contains a flat-pack return box, which you can post back for free when you've run out of bath soak. Fill operates with a closed-loop, zero-waste supply system, and 1% of all orders is donated to environmental causes via membership of 1% for the planet.

FRUU.. English Meadow Bath Tea

FRUU.. specialises in rescuing ingredients that would otherwise end up in landfill. This English Meadow Bath Tea is made with natural, botanical ingredients that are rich in antioxidants and soothe and nourish skin. It's a delightful blend of chamomile, nettle, oatmeal and Epsom salts, with bergamot and rose geranium essential oils – all creating a gorgeous, calming aroma. The bath tea comes with a muslin bag – simply add a small handful to the bag and infuse in warm running water for a relaxing soak. Many of the ingredients in FRUU.. products are produced as a by-product of processed fruit waste, which generates vital extra revenue for small fruit farmers. The products are handmade in small batches in London, and are vegan and cruelty free.

Mimiml Bodywash & Bubblebath*

A rich, gentle body wash ideal for sensitive skin – it can be used directly on skin or added to bath water for a soothing bubble bath. Miniml body washes are available in several different fragrances including Tea Tree and Mint, and Lavender and Chamomile. We love Nourishing Coconut, which has a subtle tropical scent that's perfect for summer. Miniml are based in Yorkshire, and the body washes are made with water from The Yorkshire Moors. The company produces a range of eco-friendly refillable cleaning, laundry and personal care products, made with natural, biodegradable ingredients. The zero-waste, closed-loop system allows you to buy Miniml products, use them and then return the empty bottles so that they can be cleaned and used again – resulting in no single use plastic waste. The body washes are also available in large 5l refill bottles – so once you've found your favourite fragrance you can reduce your plastic use even further.

Faith in Nature Lavender and Geranium Body Wash*

This has been one of our favourite bath products for some time, and one that we buy regularly. The body wash works equally well as a bubble bath, producing masses of foamy bubbles. The relaxing scents of lavender and geranium are ideal for a soothing shower or soak just before bed. There's a good choice of other fragrances too, including grapefruit and orange, seaweed and citrus, and wild rose. Vegan and cruelty free, these products are made in the UK using natural ingredients – with no artificial fragrance, petro-chemical based ingredients, or synthetic preservatives. Faith in Nature bottles are made from 100% recycled and recyclable materials, and the range of body washes is also available in larger 2.5l or 5l bottles.
