According to the company, the product is "made with more than 98% naturally derived ingredients and does not contain parabens, sulfates, phthalates or silicones."
Alongside the launch, Dr. Squatch has introduced the 'FIFA World Cup 2026™ Sweepstakes,' offering participants the opportunity to win tournament-related prizes. The grand prize includes two tickets to the FIFA World Cup 2026™ Final, a four-night hotel stay in New York City and a $1,600 travel stipend, with additional prizes also available.
