If you've spent any time on TikTok in the last year, you've probably seen it: a 20-minute shower routine with a dozen steps, filmed like a spa ritual — body wash, shampoo, conditioner, a scalp scrub, an exfoliating step, sometimes a shave, always a loofah. It's called the "everything shower," and the hashtag has racked up more than 32 million views in a single month on the platform. For anyone selling bath and body products in the US, that's not just a cute trend to watch — it's happening on the exact platform where American shoppers are increasingly buying the products used in it.
TikTok Shop's US growth, in numbers
TikTok Shop has gone from a novelty feature to a genuine retail channel faster than almost any commerce platform in history:
Bath and body specifically is a meaningful slice of that: in a single recent month, the Bath & Body Care category on TikTok Shop US generated more than $17 million in sales across nearly 950,000 units — a category that, on most other channels, would be considered a mature, unglamorous commodity aisle.
Why the "everything shower" trend is a genuine product opportunity, not just content
What makes this trend useful commercially — rather than just fun to watch — is that it's built around a sequence of specific products, not a vague mood. Exfoliation is one of the named, repeated steps in nearly every "everything shower" video, and loofah is the most recognizable, camera-friendly tool for that step: it has visible texture, works well in slow-motion water shots, and photographs distinctly against skin and tile in a way a plain sponge doesn't. That's a real advantage in a platform built entirely around short video, where a product's on-screen appeal matters as much as its function.
It also plays directly into TikTok Shop's core purchase pattern: viewers don't just watch these routines, they buy the exact products shown, often through an in-video shopping tab or a creator's affiliate link, within the same session. A trend that's inherently about a multi-step routine is also, conveniently, an easy way to sell a bundle rather than a single item — loofah paired with a body wash or scrub, for instance, rather than one SKU on its own.
What this means for sellers building on TikTok Shop
A few practical implications follow from this data for retailers and Amazon sellers considering TikTok Shop as a second (or first) channel for loofah:
- Packaging and presentation need to work on camera, not just on a shelf. A visually distinct color, shape, or texture matters more here than in a typical Amazon listing photo, since the product is often seen first in motion, mid-video, before a shopper ever reads a description.
- Bundling beats single-SKU listings. Because the trend is a routine, not a single product, a loofah-plus-scrub or loofah-plus-body-wash set maps naturally to how the content already frames the buying decision.
- Speed matters more than on slower channels. Trend cycles on TikTok move in weeks, not seasons — which puts a premium on suppliers who can turn around private label runs and reorders quickly, rather than locking sellers into six-month lead times.
- The underlying product still has to hold up. Viral discovery gets a first sale; a natural, genuinely well-made loofah is what earns the repeat purchase and the reorder once the trend cools, which is where most of the durable revenue in a category like this actually comes from.
