Why MMA and UFC fighters?

We wanted to create something that packed a punch for high-sweat sport environments and was safe enough for the entire family. Brad Pickett, one of our founders, meets both of those criteria.
As full contact and high sweat environments, MMA and UFC represented an opportunity to put the antibacterial and antifungal properties of Vigour8 to the test. It passed.

Is VIGOUR8 for men or women?

Why not both? Everybody sweats, so the Vigour8 body wash is for anybody. Vigour8 works as both a body wash and shower gel, working as both a protection against bacteria and a remedy to dry skin.
The essential oil body wash leaves your skin fresh and your spirit peppy. Men can use it as a foot soak, women can use it as a shave gel - or completely the other way around.

How much body wash do you need to use?

Answer: a lot less than you would think. Most cheap supermarket brands of body wash instruct you to pour the stuff out almost by the liter.
With Vigour8, you just need an itty bitty bit to do a whole lot of work. Instead of a full dollop, start with a marble-sized amount on your skin and lather away. If you need more, add it as you go - but Vigour8 goes a long way. Many reviewers report that one bottle lasts them an entire month or more.
It’s the all natural body wash that won’t empty your wallet over time.

Are your products tested on animals?

Absolutely not. We are strongly opposed to animal cruelty in the skincare industry.
We test our good stuff on cage fighters, not caged animals. Unlike many cheap supermarket brands, we never put profit ahead of animal welfare when it comes to producing the best body wash out there. Vigour8 is perfect for the whole family - and it’s never tested on animals.

What is SLS?

SLS stands for Sodium Laureth Sulphate - a foaming agent found in most cheap body wash and shower gel products. It is one of the main ingredients besides water. There is quite a bit of debate in medical journals regarding the the potential adverse effects of SLS. But one thing is for sure - it’s not natural.
Regardless of its effects, Vigour8 is dedicated to using all-natural ingredients for all-natural bodies. We have never used - and will never use - SLS in any of our products.
