Nett Wt: 250ml
Scent: Very watermelon!
 Price: RM29.90

Body Shop's shower gels are usually a "luxury" for me. I know for shower a normal bar soap would do just well, but there's something about indulging in yummy scented body washes...

I got this when they have a buy one free one promotion. RM29.90 for 2 isn't too expensive I think (now that I'm not on a student's budget).

This doesn't lather alot, but when used with a wash cloth, cleanses really well. I love love the fresh scent of watermelon. So yummy. The fact that this is biodegradable and without sulphate and parabens is just an added bonus.

Rinses well and won't dry out skin, won't leave an oily residue as well.

The Body Shop Wild Cherry Shower Gel

Shower time!
One of the best way to pamper ourselves, don't you think?

I remember my first experience with The Body Shop was back in college, after some saving up I finally got myself a shower gel. Since then I was hooked - to nicey nicey shower gels that is. Back in those days, RM24.90 for a bottle of shower gel is expensive, ouch! Felt like luxury to even own one :)

Hmm before I start to blab some granny stories, here is what I think of the Wild Cherry Shower Gel...

The Body Shop Says:
Best if you want to: Enjoy the lather of a soap-free, non-drying cleansing gel that leaves your skin clean, refreshed, softened and subtly scented.
Best for: normal to dry skin

How it works:
  • Cherry oil has excellent moisturization properties, is rich in vitamins A and E, and contains natural antioxidants.
  • Community Trade honey from Zambia is an effective moisturizer that helps to repair the skin's moisture barrier to restore moisture, smoothness and suppleness.
Ingredients:
Water, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Glycerin, Polysorbate 20, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Polyglyceryl-2 Caprate, Fragrance, Honey, PEG-120 Methyl Glucose Dioleate, Levulinic Acid, Prunus Avium (Sweet Cherry) Seed Oil, Myristamidopropyl PG-Dimonium Chloride Phosphate, p-Anisic Acid, Citric Acid, Sodium Hydroxide, Benzophenone-4, Limonene, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Disodium EDTA, Hexyl Cinnamal, Linalool, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Denatonium Benzoate, Red 33, Red 4.

Foxy Says:
Texture: Gel
Content: 250ml
Price: RM24.90, but I got it together with Body Puree for RM29.90 :D
Scent: Sweet cherry. See if I sniff it deep at a very close distance, it does reminds me of cough syrup, kinda strong! Hehe else it leaves a pleasant sweet smell. It doesn't last long though.

This lathers pretty well, I usually pour it onto a bath lily for a good bubbles session hehe. It cleanses well, and leaves my skin soft and nice smelling.

Looking at the ingredients list, it does contain quite a number of chemicals.
Not too sure if I'd be repurchasing this though..
