Sustainable Cruelty-Free Self-Care Brands

Maple & Lather Products Make for Perfect Romantic Gifts

— January 29, 2021 — Lifestyle
If you are looking for the perfect romantic gift—whether for yourself or for a loved one—Maple & Lather is a brand worth checking out, especially with Valentine's Day around the corner. The Canadian company boasts natural ingredients and cruelty-free practices in a plant-to-package model. It specializes in fragrance-rich soaps and candles that are bound to enhance the ultimate self-care routine.

Its premium soaps are triple-milled, long-lasting, and capable of retaining perfect shape and texture. Powered by clean and sustainable ingredients, they nourish and moisturize the body for an ultimate pampering experience. Since they offer a few collections—from the Discovery kit to the Essential kit—this makes for a perfect romantic gift.

If you are leaning more toward an atmosphere upgrade, Maple & Lather's hand-poured soy candles are bound to energize your space with "feelings of warmth, tranquility, and freshness."
