Bath & Body Works Moxy A Brand of Skincare With It’s Own Trademark Ingredients

Bath & Body Works Moxy Skincare, Haircare and Vitamins are a new “Whole Body Wellness Collection” that is now available online. The collection not only features assorted skin and haircare but also, a line of Dietary Supplement Gummies that support immunity, sleep wellness, hair, and more.

The Bath & Body Works Moxy Collection was developed to reduce plastic and packaging plus the formulas that have been tested by dermatologists, are vegan or vegetarian, have never been tested on animals and that say “no” to parabens, artificial dyes, phthalates, gluten, talc, and mineral oil as per Bath and Body Works Website. Some items offer refills to reduce waste. They are marketing the line as an all-inclusive range of products for all shapes, all skin tones, all hair types, and all genders.

The skincare collection features facial moisturizers, face scrubs, face masks, and cleansers for oily, dry, and sensitive skin. The haircare collection features shampoo, conditioner, and hair masks for straight, curly, and wavy hair.

I can honestly say as addicted as I am to skincare this fails to capture my attention. Who knows maybe it’ll be outstanding but there are so many skincare brands at the moment I just don’t see anything here that really stands out as something I absolutely must have. They’re really just covering the very basic of formulas with this launch. Worst they are making up their own trademark ingredients like Soap & Glory. For example, the Moxy ALL SKIN Face Moisturizer contains: PEELMOIST™ molecular film improves moisturization with BRIGHLETTE™ ingredient which helps improve skin tone. Unfortunately, there are absolutely no ingredients listed on the website to explain more about what Pealmoist and Brightlette really mean in more understandable skincare terms. So, is Brightlette another word for Vitamin C?!?!?! We’ll never know without a complete ingredient list. Worst is the online exclusivity. These products are not coming to stores but online only from my understanding. Without a way to see the ingredients you’re really going in for a blindbuy!

I think they really hurt themselves by making this so basic. I do think a lot of beauty lovers have scaled back considerably and enjoying a more simple makeup and skincare life as of late. That could be due to the rising costs of beauty or it could be simply because we are exhausted and feel like we have too much of the same thing. We also may feel like basic and simple is better. In this case though, the lack of variety may hurt them instead of working in their favor. The only thing I can think of is diehard Bath and Body Works fans (and there are plenty) might really love the idea of this. Throw in some good sales and you may just have a successful launch.

I wonder if Victoria’s Secret will follow along with this and start doing their own skincare as well considering both are the same family of brands!

Bath & Body Works Moxy is now available online.

About the Muse

Isabella MuseIsabella is just an average everyday geeky girl who doesn’t blend her eyeshadow correctly, wears too much blush, and hopes she never finds her holy grail products because she likes the thrill of the chase so much. Her mission is to bring you super honest reviews on makeup, skincare, fragrance and all things beauty. She’s in no way an expert on the topic and she sure as hell isn’t a super model. But she’s passionate about makeup and is seeking like-minded individuals that like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and ones that enjoy spending hundreds of dollars at Sephora without feeling buyer’s remorse. If you’re that person feel free to reach out and leave a comment or follow me on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Bloglovin‘.

    I want to say this is cool but I don’t want to commit to that idea. Something feels off.

    I hope if they’re looking into reusable packaging, they start with the hand soaps and have less pumps.

    • Isabella Muse

      It’s odd they went with recyclable packaging here but still need a whole lot of work on the main collection of products!

    It that impressed either Isabella, I personally think that Bath and Body Works have been going downhill lately. I used to be a bath and body works groupie, however here lately it seems their mists are more watered down and don’t last like they used to and not fond of the new creams or lotions lately. Seems like a in a new fragrance or so they say is just another dupe of something they have had before. My older fragrances I have in my stash last a lot longer so I feel with the economy the way it is you get less for more. Just my personal opinion, I wish they
    Would go back to when things were good. So on that note I don’t think the new line of Moxy is going to help them. To many cosmetic lines out there, so I agree with you, I think it is a bad business move. Love you and look forward to all your emails, keep up the good work beautiful Lady.

      awww Bernadette thank you! Your message made my day today! Yeah, I agree 100%. The mists are expensive and not that scented at all 🙁 “Fine Fragrance Mist” more like water! I can’t get them to last on me at all 🙁 and yup, plenty of repetitive scents over and over and over. They really stick with what they know and never move forward. They really didn’t need to do a line of skincare at all imho. It didn’t really work out for them well with CO Bigelow’s stuff in stores! why bother with their own line? It’ll be on sale by Christmas and gone by the new year probably 🙁 What a waste!

    I’d want to try this, being a vitamin fan. As I’m in Canada, I wish it was available in at least select stores and not just online. Shipping will be a fortune so I’ll have to pass unless they take it off line too.

    • Isabella Muse

      we don’t technically know if it contains Vitamin C, the ingredients aren’t listed so just beware 🙂

  • Sakura

    A lot of the die-hard fans are thinking “why would I buy vitamins and skincare from BBW?” I follow youtubers who are superfans and they are questioning this decision by BBW. Only a few of the people in the comments section seem to be interested. Yeah, your right. I am a skincare junkie and I’m using simpler products such as grapeseed oil from Whole Foods and I love The Ordinary. Have a good Tuesday night!

    • Isabella Muse

      It’s a weird launch! Very strange! I mean, the potential is there for skincare but this is so phoned in who wants it? Thanks 🙂 Happy Wed to you!

    Not interested in this at all. If it was in one of my local stores and I could try it then I might have purchased but not with the way they have this launch right now.

    Also, wondering if this has anything to do with them trying to separate from the whole Les Wexner controversy. I know the Dr. Wexler line disappeared from shelves a long time ago but there was that whole VS docuseries and all.
