Love Free Stuff? Get Your Hands on 19 Free Samples From Sephora, Nikwax and More

Free Stuff

Have you ever purchased a full-size bottle of lotion or shampoo only to try it a few times and realize you don’t really like it?

Skip the wasted money and products and try before you buy them. Many companies provide free samples of their products, and often, all you have to do is ask.

Here are 20 health and beauty, personal care and baby products you can try for free. You can even get a sample of waterproofing wax for leather, seasonings or cat food. And it’s all free, so why not give it a shot?

All you have to do is sign up to receive a free sample of Emergen-C — or “maybe more than one… we’re generous with the fizz,” notes the website.
