Enrich your home and life with Rituals, a luxurious lifestyle brand with a focus on ancient eastern traditions. As stated on the product labels, “According to ancient Hindu belief, living with good intent attracts good karma. Do good, and good will come your way.” The brand started in 2000 in the Netherlands, and has since expanded to a line of over 400 home and body products with hundreds of stores worldwide.
As of September 15th, they’ve also launched on Sephora.com, increasing their footprint in the United States. Rituals also prides itself on using clean, safe ingredients, reducing waste in packaging designs, and giving back to communities in need through their Tiny Miracles, Goodie Bag, and Soul School programs (read more here).
The Karma collection helps immerse your home and your soul in positive energy and mindful intention that can transform everyday routines. Included in the Ritual of Karma set are the Cleanse Your Mind & Body scrub, Spread the Kindness body cream, and Full of Kindness shower foam. The two key ingredients shared among this entire collection are holy lotus and white tea, the former of which provides restoration, soothes inflammation, combats aging, and is an antioxidant. White tea, grown throughout southeast Asia, contributes a fresh scent that can enhance the senses.
First and foremost, the foaming shower gel is a simple yet extremely refreshing and enjoyable part of the collection. The most notable thing about this gel is that with exposure to water, it transforms instantly into a thick, nourishing foam. After a wash, it had my skin feeling clean, incredibly soft, and faintly smelling of the signature flowery white tea.
The scent is in no way overwhelming, and even provides a sort of aromatherapy quality while using it in the shower for a luxurious, mindful experience. The gel is very dense and lathers up generously, so it doesn’t take much to get a complete wash. The pressurized bottle dispenses it super quickly, so be careful not to get more than you need!
The body scrub not only smells amazing, but leaves my skin noticeably softer even after one use as well! The scrub has noticeably large sugar granules that work to gently exfoliate your skin. I love to use this prior to shaving my legs to remove any dirt and dead skin cells which in turn helps me achieve a closer shave!
It spreads easily with a gritty texture, but the skin is also soothed by the accompanying nourishing liquid from some amazing ingredients like natural oils, holy lotus and jojoba.
It’s easy to rinse off and doesn’t cling to your skin or leave any remnants behind. The scent is neither overpowering nor underwhelming, but instead just the right amount to leave your skin freshly scented after use, I would describe it as a sweet, floral scent. I love this scrub and see this being a perfect addition to my routine for the dry winter months and rough skin that are ahead.
Finally, the Spread the Kindness body cream comes as a perfect companion to the scrub and shower gel by providing additional moisture, nourishment, and faint white tea scent to your skin on a daily basis. I’ve found that it spreads very easily and absorbs quickly, without leaving any oiliness or residue behind, and my skin feels silky smooth right away after application.
However, my favorite part of all about this body cream might be the smart, innovative packaging! Inside the gorgeous jar, there is an insert holding the cream that allows for refills to reduce packaging waste. This really speaks to Rituals’ sustainability efforts, and I’d be thrilled to see them expand their refillable offerings even further. Hopefully it becomes an industry trend!
Overall, I think the Ritual of Karma collection is an excellent addition to my daily routine, and the great packaging, feeling, and scent of the products all combine to really embody a calming, luxurious, at-home spa day experience. I’m excited to try out some of their other offerings, especially their home products and fragrances. Even my boyfriend is interested in their men’s line now, too! I’m really impressed by the affordability as well, as I would’ve expected everything to be much more expensive considering both the luxe appearance and high quality.
Beyond the excellent products themselves, I also can’t say enough about how great it is to see a brand so committed to environmentally friendly practices and giving back to the communities from which they take their inspiration. I highly recommend browsing their website and Sephora’s to check out everything I’ve reviewed here and more.
