The shower cream comes in a very minimalist looking white tube. Only 150mL of product is included which isn't a lot given the high RRP. This has a unique lid, where the lid of the product is kept on but you turn it to reveal a small hole to dispense the product, which is quite convenient for shower use. That being said, this was an unusual packaging feature and I wouldn't have realized this was there had I not read the reviews below (otherwise you can unscrew the entire lid off also to dispense the product). The cream is thick and a pale cream colour. This lathers up a bit but being a shower cream it is more of a moisturizer like body wash. The fragrance is lovely but definitely unique. I love the smell of lemon and lemongrass, but I think the lemongrass element of the fragrance is too strong, although the smell is very energizing and tasty, like the reviewer below this does remind me a bit of cleaning products and using lemongrass in my cooking, which puts me off a bit, as this isn't the kind of aroma I want to smell like! Fortunately though, the scent doesn't linger especially much on the skin if you use other products in the shower. When I've used this alone the fragrance lingered a bit, but if you use a body scrub or another body product with it, I've found this dilutes the scent and you won't be smelling like lemongrass all day. That being said, the scent is yum though, just not the kind of bodywash scent I am used to. The cream is very luxurious, it feels hydrating and gentle and soothing as soon as it hits the skin. I love the idea of this as I feel like it does the job of a body wash and an in-shower moisturizer all at once. Everytime I've used this my skin has felt incredibly hydrated afterwards and smooth, and I haven't needed to use my normal body moisturiser! I think this product is lovely for the skin, but it is quite pricy and the scent isn't my favourite so I probably wouldn't go out and purchase this for myself, although I will enjoy to continue using this as a Beauty Vault treat. I think this is definitely a lovely product though and if you're a big fan of lemony scents, or happy to spend a little extra on a shower cream or can pick this up on sale, that it's worthwhile to add a bit of luxury to your shower routine.

Reviews
Tips: Peel off the sticker on the screw cap lid, to reveal the hole to dispense the product (this wasn't obvious and I was dispensing the product wrong for a while until I saw the review below)
I received this from the Beauty Vault. I like the Dr. Hauschka brand so I was interested in giving this a try.
The shower cream comes in a white 150ml tube which stands on its cap. On the tube it says that the packaging is made from recycled materials, and that it is “free from synthetic fragrances, dyes and preservatives.” The cream itself is white and milky in texture. It feels moisturising on the skin. It lathers nicely without being too foamy, or not foamy enough, and washes off easily. My skin feels soft and moisturised after using it. The cream has a pleasant lemon and lemongrass scent. It is not too strong, but it is pleasing to smell.
Something to bear in mind when using this shower cream is that it opens from the centre of the cap. Although you can unscrew the cap, the easiest way to dispense the product is to turn the cap anti-clockwise and then to squeeze the tube. To close the lid you just turn it clockwise again. It is not immediately obvious that this is how the tube opens. I only realised because I read a review of the cream on here before trying it out for myself! The opening is covered by a sticker which you remove before using it. Although this is a novel way to dispense a product, it does make it a bit fiddly. You need two hands to open and close it in the shower, which is tricky when you have just dispensed shower cream into one hand! If you do not close the tube right away the product dribbles out the bottom because of gravity, which makes it much fiddlier than the flip tops lids I am used to for body washes.
Altogether a quite expensive, but very nicely scented moisturising body wash.
Tips: This shower cream opens from the centre of the cap. The opening is concealed by a sticker which you need to peel off.
I saw this in the Beauty Vault so decided to try it out. I don't usually spend $24 on a body wash so it was a nice treat. Thanks BR!
It comes in a squeezy tube with a screw on lid.....ugh why!! It is so fiddly and I always drop the lid so a flip top would be so much better!
It is a lovely creamy consistency and smells like lemons! I have a love/hate relationship with the scent. Sometimes it reminds me of dishwashing liquid lol however I do like to use it in the morning as the scent can be quite uplifting.
It lathers up well on my poof and leaves my skin feeling clean and fresh. The scent does not linger on my skin. It is a nice shower cream but I am on the fence about the scent and it doesn't do anything my $5 body wash doesn't do so its not something I would purchase again.
This product was in a beauty vault a while ago, but to took a while for me to start using it.
It comes in a soft tube which is apparently made from recycled plastic.
Firstly, it was a trick to get the product out as it turns out it squeezes through the lid. This annoyed me. I don't want to get in the bath or shower and have to figure out how to release product from a container. Not to harp on about it, but it really puts me off a product and a brand.
The product is a white creamy lotion, which wouldn't normally be my choice of texture for a body wash. It has a very high scent of mostly lemongrass which also doesn't appeal to me in a body wash. It's performance was ok. And it is expensive for a product of this type. I doubt I'll use much of it and wouldn't repurchase.
Picked this up in the vault. Nice sophisticated stand up tube. Was advised you dispense this from the screw cap at the bottom. (Remove the sticky dot over the hole first). You can also took the cap off if wanted though it's not necessary.
Really enjoy the lemon and Lemongrass scent. Gently refreshing and not overpowering. Lovely cream formula that gently lathers. Definitely feels like a pampering experience to use this.
Would I repurchase though? I have seen online it retails for about $24. Which is $20 more than I have ever spent on a body wash product. I doubt I would pick it up at this price. However if it was a birthday treat for myself or on sale I'd probably pick it up then.
