We have all heard about natural soaps, and what about natural solid lotion or solid body lotion or lotion in bar form?
It sounds like something that doesn’t go together, but this wonderful eco-friendly product changes everything about the way we care for our skin.
Neka podigne dva prsta svako koga je barem jednom iznerviralo taloženje losiona na dnu plastične flašice kada je pri kraju.
Naš pristup proizvodnji prirodne kozmetike je da ne želimo da pravimo otpad, plastične boce i flašice odavno su postale globalni problem i učinile su dovoljno štete.
Konačno živimo u vremenu kada je lakše nego ikada pronaći prirodnu i ekološku alternativu za sve ili većinu kozmetičkih proizvoda. Ovakav pristup ne samo da je bolji za životnu okolinu, već je bolji i za tebe i za mene.
We only have one skin and only one planet. Why not give them the best possible care?

How is solid body lotion used?
If you are looking for a reliable, eco-friendly lotion that you can use every day, you are in the right place.
Balavander’s solid body lotion is an excellent option for everyone who wants to care for their skin naturally while reducing their environmental impact.
Here’s how to use solid body lotion:
Apply the lotion and massage it into dry skin. Solid body lotion It melts at body temperature, so when it touches the skin, it will soften just enough for easy application.
If you like, you can also apply it to damp skin after showering.
Use it anywhere and anytime.
That’s it – two simple steps to nourished skin.
By using a single of solid body lotion, you have prevented at least four plastic bottles from ending up in a river or the sea.
With regular use, you will notice that small wounds or scars begin to fade and disappear from the skin.
Of course, you can always use it on chapped lips or dry elbows and heels.
– No plastic
– Natural and organic ingredients
– Recyclable packaging
After use, place the solid lotion back in its original packaging.
Why should I use solid lotion?
By using just one solid body lotion, you’ve prevented at least four plastic bottles from ending up in the environment. Additionally, natural ingredients, if they do end up in nature, break down faster and do not negatively impact the environment like traditional lotions do.
Traditional lotions and industrial cosmetic products often contain a range of harmful ingredients. We have written about this and the historical reasons for the presence of chemicals in cosmetic products HERE.
When we say harmful, we mean that they are harmful both to you and to the environment.
You’re probably wondering how chemicals and synthetic materials from traditional lotions can pollute the environment when they are applied directly to the skin.
Great question, and the answer is quite simple. When a plastic bottle from a traditional lotion is discarded and ends up in the waste, it still contains remnants of the product that was inside. Over time, these residues begin to wash away and eventually end up in the soil, contaminating the land and groundwater.
The same thing applies to traditional shampoos, conditioners, shower gels, and similar products.
Harmful substances can remain in the environment for several decades or even centuries, continuing to pollute the surroundings long after you’ve thrown them in the trash.
Another interesting thing about solid lotion is its cost-effectiveness. Since it is highly concentrated and doesn’t contain water or liquids, you need much less of the product to achieve the desired result.
Because of this, the solid lotion will last much longer compared to traditional lotions.
Impact on the environment?
As we mentioned earlier, using solid lotions and generally natural cosmetic products reduces the negative impact on the environment by decreasing the amount of plastic and harmful substances that would end up there.
In addition to the fact that Balavander's solid lotion for the body contains no plastic, it actually comes in packaging that can easily be recycled or repurposed for another use. Our goal is to create as little waste as possible during production and packaging.
