Are the products organic? We use organic ingredients whenever possible, but our primary focus is the elimination of toxic, man-made synthetics as well as the elimination of over processing natural ingredients rendering them virtually useless in many conventional products.
Are the products vegan? Yes! All products are 100% vegan.
Are the products cruelty free? Yes. None of the products are tested on animals, although none of our ingredients are harmful to animals or humans. We "test" on very willing friends and family members only.
Are the products paraben and phthalate free? Yes. There are absolutely no parabens, phthalates, synthetic colors, or fragrance oils in our products. You will not find any of the commonly used toxic synthetic additives in these products, not a single one.
Are the products sustainable / environmentally friendly? We package only in glass and paper - zero plastic! Safe for you, and friendly to the planet. As a company, our goal is human friendly products that are also planet friendly. We work continuously to improve the sustainability and ecological footprint of the line.
The Travel Size Bundle is in a Vinyl tote. Isn’t that the same as plastic and bad for the environment? In fact, Vinyl is much more environmentally friendly than many plastics. The primary ingredient in Vinyl is chlorine, which is extracted from saltwater. Once chlorine is processed into Vinyl, it is chemically locked into the product more tightly than it was in its original salt compound creating a non-corroding element. For this reason, Vinyl waste does not release any chlorine gas or contaminants into the environment at all, ever. Even better news – all Vinyl is 100% recyclable, so it should never end up as waste in a landfill.
Do you offer Free Samples so I can try out a product? We sure do! Click HERE to get yours!
How long will the travel size products last? Each of the travel size products should last an individual at least two weeks. Several of them will likely last a lot longer depending on usage.
Do the products expire? All our products are made to order in small batches and we recommend using them within one year of purchase. They have been microbial tested up to 18 months with zero growth.
Why do the products change color (opaque to clear) and/or separate? All natural products vary and change over time in color and/or texture, and will also naturally separate. This is actually a great sign and something you should look for in all natural products. It is due to the absence of artificial emulsifiers, preservatives, and other synthetic stabilizers. These changes do not alter the safety, shelf life, or efficacy of the product in any way. Simply shake to combine separated products before use.
What is the consistency of the Body Butter? The body butter is truly a butter, in every sense of the word, not a liquid lotion. It is designed for intense moisture therapy. It is thick and dense and may change from a softer texture in warmer months to a firmer texture in cooler months. Once applied, it will melt with your skin temperature for a silky smooth application and will fully absorb within several minutes.

My Body Butter melted a little bit upon shipping. What should I do? Although we always ship priority mail and use thermal mailers with ice packs during the summer months, it is still a challenge to completely mitigate extreme temperatures that may soften or melt the body butter. Just let it come back to room temperature and it should be good to go! If you are not satisfied for any reason, don't hesitate to email us at orders@getbodyfood.com.

What should I condition with after washing my hair? Our Skin & Beard Serum is a fantastic moisturizer for hair. Alternatively, some good old apple cider vinegar (ACV) is also a great choice. ACV's extremely low pH smooths down the hair follicle and leaves hair shiny and vibrant! Dilute one part water to one part vinegar, add in your favorite essential oils, and pour over clean wet hair, then rinse!
Does the Pits & Parts Powder actually work? Yes! Arrowroot Powder and Kaolin Clay are great moisture absorbing elements and the oils and extract work to reduce bacteria and keep you smelling great. This is not an antiperspirant and may need to be reapplied - a small compromise for a much healthier body care choice.
How do I use the Toothsalt? Just the same as you would toothpaste! Sprinkle onto a wet toothbrush, and go! After brushing, gargle and swish with the "salt water" made with your saliva for an added bonus!
