INDIANAPOLIS—The new Sprout Out Collection features Gilchrist & Soames’ proprietary Naturally Kind formulations, which contain no sulfates (SLS/SLES), DMDM hydantoin, parabens, phthalates, petrol-derived ingredients, mineral oil, urea, DEA, TEA or propylene glycol. They do feature food-grade, naturally derived USP glycerin; natural conditioning agents from honey and the Brassica plant; and soybean and cottonseed oil, instead of petrochemicals. The formulations are also free of any artificial colors or dyes.
“We are proud to introduce our Naturally Kind formulations,” says Christina Mavity, Gilchrist & Soames research and development director. “The surfactant products—shampoo, conditioning shampoo and shower gel—are sulfate-free, yet create rich and satisfying foam, giving guests the experience they expect from luxury bath and body amenities. As well, the body lotion in this premium formulation contains Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMF) of olive oil and vitamin E.”
The five Sprout Out liquid products—shampoo, conditioner, conditioning shampoo, body wash and body lotion—are available in readily recyclable PET bottles in a 1.25 fl oz (35 ml) size. They include certified organic extracts of rooibos, cardamom seed, yarrow and ginseng. The fresh citrus and herbal fragrance combines top notes of orange, rosemary and sage with a heart of coriander, thyme, black pepper and armoise, and finishes with a crisp and clean musk.
The collection also features two vegetable-based, aloe soaps. The soaps, available in 0.6 oz (17g) and 1 oz (28g) sizes, are low-weight to reduce the amount of waste. Although low in weight, the bars were designed to have a large surface area, increasing performance by having a larger area in contact with skin to produce more foam.
To round out the collection, Sprout Out offers a full range of necessity products. Like all Gilchrist & Soames products, Sprout Out embraces cruelty-free development and manufacturing practices, ensuring that the products are never tested on animals, nor contain animal-derived ingredients.
