essano Body Wash

I was very fortunate to be selected to trial this beautiful shower gel (thanks BR!!!) Essano products have been really growing on me and this is another great product.

I Love the big 445ml bottle, its dark brown and looks like those old medicine bottles (or is it just me?) it has a plain and easy to read label. I love how this has a pump top lid, so easy in the shower with slippery hands no need to shake, squeeze and bash the other end of the bottle to get the product out. The scent I received is ‘bliss’- and yes it really is.

The clear shower gel has a thickish consistency and lathers up nicely on my shower puff. As soon as I pump 4-5 pumps out I get a real paw paw fruity kick, (it also has coconut and frangipani) its sweet, it’s fruity and it’s perfectly balanced and seriously I wanted to drink it.

I smoosh it round and round my body wishing the scent was just a tad stronger like it was when it first comes out of the bottle. I love how this makes my skin feel after I wash the suds away, clean and refreshed without feeling stripped- great for us dry skinned lasses.

Since its winter I have been a big sook and won’t moisturise after my night time shower cold lotion on warm body aint my idea of ‘unwinding and relaxing’ anyway… I can wake up in the morning and my skin isn’t too bad, it’s not itchy or looks scaly. So I think I will carry on being a bit lazy through winter.

I will be definitely repurchasing this it smells amazing leaves me feeling clean and fresh, and lets me be lazy. I also love how Essano products are cruelty free and contain natural ingredients. Another reason to love this product.

Love this shower gel. I had my gallbladder out at the start of the year and a friend gave this to me in the hospital. Made me feel better and the smell of the vanilla one was divine. Soapy bubbly feeling but without the harsh soap or chemicals my skin felt so lovely afterwards and smelt divine for hours. Love using this product on a daily basis

This is a lovely body wash with an easy pump that lets you get just the right amount of clear gel from the pretty brown bottle. I think the colouring is well done to have the brand in gold to stand out and the suttle white writting tells more with the bold colour on the bottom if your in a hurry to pick.

I wouldn't have picked it by the name or by the smell either but it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I'm normally not a fan of anything floral it puts me off.

The scent wasn't to over whelming and didn't hang around to long either. It made my skin feel soft and bubbled up well.

Looking forward to trying the other ones when this runs out

After having trialed this over the week I can say that this is definitely a family favourite now, and I will be looking out for it at the supermarket. The body wash comes in a generously sized bottle which will last a family a fair while. It's also got a pump application which makes it easy for everyone to use and makes it hygienic. The Manuka Sensitive body wash comes out as a clear liquid and quickly lathers up to a nice, gentle foam. It has a sweet and luxurious smelling body wash and makes shower time an experience. I love that it's made in NZ and doesn't contain anything nasty. Ideal for kids and something that they can use on themselves at shower or bath time.

I was lucky enough to get onto a Beauty Review trial team, and was sent a bottle of Essano Adore Body Wash with Jasmine & Fig.

It's a full sized, generous 445ml bottle with a pump applicator that makes it really easy to dispense the perfect amount of body wash onto a shower pouf, without wasting any product, although the dark brown plastic bottle does make it a little bit hard to see how much product is left if the bottle, unless you hold it up to a window or light.

The smell of Adore body wash is not what I was expecting. I did expect Jasmine & Fig, so I was thinking that it would be quite a sweetly scented body wash with maybe the heady undertones of Jasmine that you tend to smell on a hot summer's night, but boy, was I wrong! I find the scent of this to be quite masculine, it has a very musky, almost smokey smell that isn't bad, it just took a little while to get used to, as it was completely opposite to what I expected.

I find that the scent of Essano Adore Body Wash tends to linger on my skin for hours after rinsing it off and I even get little whiffs of it the next morning. I find that a few pumps onto my shower pouf provides a nice lather, but I wouldn't describe the lather as rich or luxurious, it does foam nicely and is very gentle on my skin.

The best thing about this body wash is that it's free from parabens, sulphates, silicones, phthalates, ethoxylates, PEGs, PPGs, GMOs, mineral oils, and animal testing. So, there's no nasty stuff that goes into Essano's body washes. It's also contains certified organic Rosehip Oil, along with active mountain botanicals, which are then infused with the scent of Jasmine & Fig.

I doubt that I'd buy a bottle of Adore Body Wash with Jasmine & Fig, purely because the scent wasn't what I was expecting, but I am keen to try "Bliss" with Frangipani & Paw Paw, once I run out of this one, just to see what that scent is like.

I just Adore this body wash!! And it's made in NZ so fantastic. I love that it is free of the nasties like parabens, sulphates etc. And these days I do read what the ingredients are in the products I'm putting on my skin, and why would you put something questionable on your skin when there are lovely products such as this on the market that do the job just as well. I am a rosehip oil fan so was thrilled to be trialling a body wash made from rosehip oil. This body wash lathers well so I felt I covered my body using a couple of pumps (I'm not one that uses a cloth) and felt this body wash worked well in my hands. I so agree with what they have written on the bottle, your skin feeling soft, refreshed and nourished. My skins doesn't feel stripped of moisture so I'd say gentle on the skin. I've got dry skin and this body wash has a moisturising effect perfect for my type of skin.

This body wash comes as a liquidy gel consistency, exactly what you'd expect from a body wash, I love that it has a great pump that is easy to use without having to take off and replace a cap or lid after each use. The biggest thing you'll notice about this product is the smell, it is intense! Personally I loved the smell, it's not too strong for me by any means, but I do feel that anyone who isn't particularly fond of scented products may not fully enjoy this product as it does pack a scented punch! I find that you need about an average amount to get clean, I wasn't amazed or disappointed at all by how long the product would last for the price, it's about as expected. I found this product did leave me feeling clean, fresh and smelling good! However I do have sensitive skin in some areas, it didn't create a reaction or anything like that, however it did sting very slightly. . For the price you get a wonderful sized bottle of lovely smelling body wash that leaves you fresh and clean, so overall I would recommend, especially if you don't mind fragrance!

I received the body wash in the BBBE Gamble Box. I'm all about soap so I didn't hold much hope for this product swaying my loyalty. After using this for almost a month I still prefer soap but this is one of the only body washes I've come across in a long time that I probably would've repurchased if it wasn't for the packaging.

Despite the eye catching rich brown packaging it comes with a pump which needs a little tweaking here and there to be fully functional. I find when pushing the pump right down I need to wait for it to slowly come back up or manually move it up myself so I can quickly get more product. This pitfall makes the bottle too fiddly in the shower especially when you are nearing the end and you end up having to decant.

Bliss is a potent hit of coconut - the scent reminds me of a coconut liquer. Once I get past that then I detect a synthetic floral scent - neither smell like frangipani and paw paw to me but it's pleasant nonetheless. The product is a semi-thick gel consistency so it goes over the skin easily without being an overload of suds.

What surprised me the most was that after an hour I can still detect a light fragrance on my skin - I've never had that in a body wash before so I'm quite impressed. I would only repurchase this if it came in a squeeze tube/bottle to allow for a hassle-free shower.

I love body wash, it would be safe to say I am quite obsessed with it and have tried them all. So when I saw this wee beauty come out I just had to try it. I love anything with coconut so bliss sounded perfect.

The packaging is gorgeous. A big 445ml amber coloured bottle with a hint of gold. It has a handy pump which I love. I saw other ladies have had issues with the pump but mine has been sweet as. I paid $7.99 on special which is a good price.

The gel is a great consistency, I hate when they are runny or mega thick. It lathers up great on my shower poof. The scent is strong! It is very sweet. I quite like it and I notice it lingers on my body for hours afterwards.

I have dry, sensitive skin and some body washes can leave me feeling itchy and irritated. Not this one though. It feels amazing on my skin, leaves me feeling clean and moisturised which is great especially in winter.

I would love to try the rest of the range and see if they smell as good as this one does. Another winner from essano. A great NZ brand.
