Well, the month of March came and went, and we never got an official Whole Foods Beauty Week sale like in years past. What gives? Turns out that Whole Foods gave their Beauty Week a bit of a makeover, transforming it into a two-week Body Care Sale that quietly kicked off on May 3 and will last through May 16, 2023.
Now you have two whole weeks to shop deals on beauty, bath, aromatherapy, and personal care products. And just like always, you’ll save the most (up to 33%) if you’re an Amazon Prime member. Ya know, since Amazon owns Whole Foods now.
But not everything about this Body Care Sale is better than Beauty Week. We used to see Whole Foods Beauty Week savings as high as 35% for Prime members, and now the discounts are now capped at 33% off (or 25% off if you don’t have Prime). But a savings of 25% – 33% is still nothing to scoff at, especially when we’re talking about saving money at Whole Foods.
Let’s break it all down right here.

Whole Foods Body Care Sale is an annual, two-week-long event with deals on beauty & self-care items.
The Whole Foods Body Care Sale, formerly known as Whole Foods Beauty Week, is a two-week event offering deals on beauty, bath, aromatherapy, and personal care products. During the sale, Prime members save 33% and non-Prime members receive 25% off. The sale covers a wide range of items, including rarely discounted brands like Burt’s Bees and Thayers.
KCL predicts the next Whole Foods Body Care Sale will begin Wednesday, May 1, 2024.
Whole Foods hasn’t officially announced the next date for their Body Care Sale, but based on what they've done in recent years, we here at KCL predict that it’ll take place from Wednesday, May 1, through Tuesday, May 14, 2024.
How do we make our prediction?
Last year, when Whole Foods transitioned the sale from Beauty Week to the Body Care Sale, they had it run for two full weeks, starting with the first Wednesday in May. That was May 3 in 2023, and in 2024 it’s May 1.
Whole Foods Beauty Week is no more — it’s been replaced by a two-week Body Care Sale.
We used to look forward to the Whole Foods Beauty Week sale every March to stock up on rarely-discounted beauty items from Burt’s Bees, Thayers, and other brands. But March came and went with no beauty sale.
With the latest Whole Foods weekly ad, we see the rumors were true — Beauty Week has been replaced with a two-week Body Care sale that’s happening May 3 – 16, 2023.
Prime Members will save 33% on all body care and beauty products during this sale.
From May 3 to May 16, Prime Members can save 33% on all Beauty items and Body Care products at Whole Foods. This includes all bath, aromatherapy, and personal care items, too. Many of these products aren’t on sale typically throughout the year, so it’s a great time to grab some of your favorite brands at the best prices.
To unlock your 33% Prime discount at Whole Foods, here’s what you do:
Download the Whole Foods app.
Sign in with your Amazon account credentials.
Scan your QR code at the Whole Foods register at checkout.

All shoppers will receive 25% off select beauty products during the Body Care sale. You don’t need coupons or anything — expect to get 25% off automatically at checkout.
TIP: If you aren’t a Prime member yet, sign up for Amazon Prime to unlock all these Amazon Prime benefits ASAP.
You can also shop the Whole Foods Body Care sale online through Amazon.
Whole Foods Market offers convenient delivery and free pickup options for Prime members in select ZIP codes when you shop on Amazon.com. The body care sale items are all available online, and the Prime savings will get automatically applied. You’ll see the items showing as “Ships from Whole Foods Market” and “Sold by Whole Foods Market.”
Although the sale is advertised as 33% off, we found items up to 49% off on Amazon!
