Indianapolis Celebrates 16 Years of Frangipani Body Products, a Plant-Based and Cruelty-Free Skincare Brand
Indianapolis-Based Business Marks Over a Decade and a Half of Natural Skincare
This summer, Frangipani Body Products, a local company rooted in Indianapolis, celebrated its 16th anniversary of operations. Since its founding, the business has established itself as a provider of plant-based and cruelty-free skincare products, appealing to consumers seeking gentle, eco-friendly options for their skin.
Founder’s Personal Motivation and Product Offerings
The business was founded by Tracy Land, who created the product line based on her own skincare challenges. Land has endured sensitive skin since birth and aimed to develop products that would address her issues without irritating her skin. Her personal experience inspired her to craft a range of handmade skincare items that cater to similar sensitivities.
Today, Frangipani Body Products offers a comprehensive lineup, including face washes, face serums, cleansers, lotions, and body oils. The product line emphasizes natural ingredients, sustainability, and cruelty-free practices, aligning with modern consumer values.
Special Focus on Body Oils and Skincare Benefits
Among the products, body oils are highlighted for their particular benefits, especially for individuals with very dry or flaky skin. The owner points out that unlike lotions, which often contain more water and alcohol, body oils do not include these ingredients, making them an effective solution for deep nourishment.
Availability and Shopping Options
Consumers can purchase Frangipani Body Products through its dedicated online store. In addition, the products are available at local farmers markets around Indianapolis, allowing shoppers to experience the products firsthand and support local vendors.
